Well, there you have it. After waiting for two and a half months, there is a significant resolution to Aldon Smith's status in the NFL. Adam Schefter is reporting Smith has been suspended for one year for his role in a previously unreported August 28 incident. This is unrelated to his arrest in early August that resulted in his release by the San Francisco 49ers. This suspension follows his nine game suspension last year for violations of the personal conduct policy and substance abuse policy.
I don't really know quite how to react to the situation, considering it is entirely separate from the incident that led to his release by the 49ers.
