They should follow suit. Unless there's more behind the legal side of it that I'm not familiar with. That would be nice though. Although I think Grant was going to use the suspension as the reason he lost his starting job to McCray.

Something about Minnesota state labor laws being different from Louisiana...or something. Grant and Smith will be suspended.

seems like bullshite to me, because the NFL-NFLPA have collectively bargained their employment regs

that's federal law

federal law > state law

How come when news broke that Grant/Smith passed on the deal to avoid game suspensions that wasn't a huge deal?

We're talking about losing our starting DE's for 25% of the season and they had a chance to avoid that - and didn't take it.

Because it's Grant and Smith. How upset would you be if you lost David and Roby for 4 games?
