Patriots owner Robert Kraft made it clear that if the allegations against Jabrill Peppers are true, Peppers will have no place on the team moving forward.
“Once he goes on the commissioner’s exempt list, they do their independent checking,” Kraft said on “The Breakfast Club” morning show. “We’re doing ours. And if what is reported is true, he’s gone.”
Peppers, a 29-year-old safety in his third year with the Patriots, pleaded not guilty Monday after he was arrested Saturday on charges that include assault, strangulation, and drug possession.
He is accused of choking a woman multiple times and pushing her head against a wall before forcing her from his apartment.
