N.F.L. Suspends Mychal Kendricks Indefinitely for Insider Trading

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks was suspended indefinitely after being found guilty of insider trading, the latest prominent player on the team to be sidelined.

The decision, which was confirmed by a person with knowledge of the matter who requested anonymity because it had not yet been announced, comes after Kendricks admitted to the crime in August after charges were filed in the case, which stems from his relationship with a banker at Goldman Sachs who fed him nonpublic information in 2014 about corporate mergers. Kendricks had received $1.2 million in profits as a result of the information.
