Josh Brown reportedly won’t appeal placement on Exempt List

Let’s get caught up on the latest news and analysis involving New York Giants placekicker Josh Brown.

No appeal of Exempt List designation

Brown apparently won’t appeal the league’s decision to place him on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, a bit of information that was first reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It’s a smart move, given that the league’s ability to use the Commissioner’s-Exempt list in Personal Conduct Policy cases has been previously upheld via arbitration. Also, Brown is still getting paid; if he fights his current status and forces his way to the active roster, he invites a possible termination of his contract by the Giants.
