Four players who aren’t currently under contract have been suspended, making them less likely to get back into the NFL.
Former Packers cornerback Jarrett Bush, former Panthers safety Jakar Hamilton, former Colts cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy and former Patriots running back Quentin Hines have all been suspended, according to Howard Balzer of Sports Xchange.
Bush was suspended four games after an incident early this offseason in which he was arrested but not charged with public intoxication.
Hamilton and Purifoy were each suspended for 10 games. The reasons have not been announced, but the length of the suspensions suggests that both players have committed multiple violations of the league’s substance-abuse policy.
