Things may get quite interesting between the NFL and three of its better-known names in the coming days.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the league has rejected written affidavits from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ James Harrison and Green Bay Packers’ Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers and free agent Mike Neal, four of the players (along with now-retired Peyton Manning) named in January’s Al-Jazeera America documentary, linking them to performance-enhancing drug use.
The league notified Harrison, Matthews and Peppers last month that they would be interviewed by NFL investigators on the first day of their respective training camps; Neal was to be interviewed on or before July 22.
