All of the active (and want-to-be-active) players named in the Al Jazeera “drug ring” investigation late last year are said to be ready and willing to be interviewed by the league. That would include current Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, along with former Packers linebacker Mike Neal.
The NFL has been investigating the allegations since January, but has yet to speak to any of the players named in the report.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the players in question — Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, and James Harrison — are and have been willing to submit to interviews, along with free-agent Mike Neal.
