Sources: Buccaneers' Jameis Winston faces suspension for first three games

The NFL is planning to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston the first three games of the season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, per league sources.

The planned suspension stems from an alleged incident with an Uber driver in Scottsdale, Arizona, in March 2016.

The league still has not notified Winston of its official decision, and the circumstances surrounding it still could lead to an increase or decrease of the three games, per sources.

One source said Winston could be notified as early as Friday, but others think it will be handed down sometime in the next week, per sources. An appeal could be discussed, but they have proven to be largely fruitless in the past, most recently with Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who was suspended six games last August.


no video, no charges, and he gets 3 games? seems very unfair

Zeke Elliott agrees.

Damn, he's getting f'd right in the...taint.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

The league began its investigation in November 2017 when a woman, who identified herself as "Kate," told BuzzFeed that Winston reached over and grabbed her crotch while waiting at a drive-thru at Los Betos Mexican Food at 2 a.m.

Didn't he get in trouble at FSU for stealing crabs legs?

Maybe he was trying to get crabs again ...

If I were a betting man... I’d lay a buck or two on the Bucs not extending him. Wasn’t like he had distinguished himself up to this point. Time to start looking for the next QB.
