What’s worse than being a free agent after suddenly getting dropped? How about being suspended? That’s exactly what’s happened to Lendale White, who now cannot play for four games this season due to a substance abuse violation. I mean… he couldn’t play already, because he’s not signed to a team. Hey–maybe this will make him more attractive to potential suitors? Nah, probably not. Hey, Lendale… at least your suspension wasn’t for being fat, right? (Everyone does remember how clueless he acted about why the Seahawks could possibly have cut him, right? I think now we know a bit more of the story).
Suspensions of 4 games or less are worth 45 points, and those have been added to the system for anyone that had Lendale (he’s on the “not currently on roster” team in our system).
Meanwhile, Hollis Thomas, himself an unsigned free agent, has also been suspended. His is hefty–8 whole games–and it’s apparently related to a violation of the performance-enhancing substance policy. Yikes. Dude… you’re out half the season. It’s going to be November before anyone signs you. That’s worth 60 points to us, though. Congrats folks.
