When the National Football League announced the four-game suspension of veteran cornerback Morris Claiborne on Monday to start the upcoming 2019 regular season, it wasn’t just a news hit. It was also likely an explanation as to why Claiborne has yet to find employment for the coming year.
Just yesterday, Albert Breer noted in his Monday Morning Quarterback column that multiple teams were hungry for a corner. Claiborne is likely the most talented—or at least most obvious—free agent grab left on the market, which raised questions as to why teams with such legitimate needs were passing over supplies on shelves.
