New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was placed on the commissioner's exempt list Wednesday after being arrested Saturday on a litany of charges related to allegations he choked his girlfriend and pushed her down a flight of stairs.
Team owner Robert Kraft commented on the situation Friday during an appearance on "The Breakfast Club" morning show. He confirmed the team would part ways with Peppers if the accusations against him are true, but stressed that the team would wait to confirm the facts before taking any steps.
Kraft compared the situation to his own arrest for solicitation at a massage parlor, which eventually saw the charges dropped after an appeals court ruled videos involved in a sting were obtained illegally.
