NFL owners, executives, coaches and players have privately been expressing their displeasure over the league and the New York Giants' treatment of kicker Josh Brown and the domestic violence allegations against him, sources confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
One team owner has called the situation an "embarrassment," sources said, as more information into Brown's alleged abuse became public.
Brown was placed on the commissioner's exempt list Friday after documents released by police showed the kicker acknowledged physical, verbal and emotional abuse against his wife, Molly Brown. The couple has since filed for divorce.
