Jameis Winston To Be Hit With Three-Game Suspension
7 years agoThe NFL is planning to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston for the first three games of the season for violating the personal-conduct policy, according to league sources. This comes in response to an incident in March of 2016 in which Winston apparently groped an Uber driver, although he was never charged with anything. The NFL doesn't care. Winston will most likely appeal the suspension, but it remains to be seen if the NFL will consider reducing the sentence. Winston was shaping up to be a value pick as a low-end QB1 in 2018, but this news makes him more of a high-end QB2 now. Expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to open the year under center if this suspension holds up for Winston.
