The NFL is begging the NFLPA to fight back over the Al Jazeera case.
The NFL said if Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Green Bay Packers linebackers Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews and free-agent defensive lineman Mike Neal — the four active players publicly accused in an Al Jazeera America report last year for performance-enhancing drug use — don’t interview with the league by August 25, the NFL will suspend them indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the league. That’s according to multiple reports, including Pro Football Talk, which published the NFL’s letter to the union outlining the many times they have been stonewalled on their interview requests.
