Washington Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster has agreed to remain on the Commissioner's Exempt list and not appeal the league's decision until his pending legal matter is resolved, a league source tells ESPN.
Foster likely will be sidelined for the remainder of the season after he was arrested last weekend on a charge of domestic violence.
Foster's decision to not appeal his placement on the exempt list neither disappoints nor surprises the Redskins, who claimed the former first-round draft pick with the sole idea that he could be a linchpin on their defense next season -- not this season, according to a source.
