NFL Waits to Discipline Unsigned Browns Rookie Over Conduct Allegations

  • Domestic violence allegations could still lead to Judkins' suspension
NFL Waits to Discipline Unsigned Browns Rookie Over Conduct Allegations

The NFL's Personal Conduct Policy applies to Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, even though he has not yet signed his rookie deal. However, the league is in no rush to take action against Judkins, as his presence at Browns camp is not relevant until he is under contract.

If Judkins' contract holdout continues into late July and August, the NFL may choose not to do anything until he signs the deal. At that point, the league can then activate the paid-leave provision of the Personal Conduct Policy if it deems necessary based on its investigation.

While the NFL may decide that paid leave is not justified for Judkins, the allegation that he punched a woman in the face could be enough for the league to suspend him. Last year, another Browns second-round pick, Mike Hall, was placed on paid leave within two weeks of being arrested for domestic violence.

Ultimately, the NFL appears to be in no rush to discipline the unsigned Judkins, preferring to wait until he is officially part of the Browns roster before potentially taking action.
