Will Alexander's suspension be lifted?

Does anyone know whether or not the NFLPA's potential new deal with the NFL on drug policy and HGH testing will end the 4 game suspension of Frank Alexander?

 

I knew that players like Josh Gordon and Wes Welker's suspensions would be lifted but I wasn't sure about Alexander's.

 

Here's some more information in the article that Chris Mortensen posted:

He mentions that almost 20 players would be reinstated.

I hope they don't rush into a sh!t deal just to get a few players reinstated. It seems as though he NFL is waiving these players' reinstatement in teams' faces trying to get a vote. Reinstating them doesn't even make sense, especially since their infractions were prior to this deal. I don't trust the NFL for poo after how they just completely covered up the Ray Rice incident and the known concussions for years.

I wish my principles were stronger than my love for the Panthers. I so badly want to boycott, but I wouldn't make it one quarter

Last time I checked this was America. 

 

We like our NFL players to: 1) look like they are out of NFL Blitz

                                             2) knock the poo out of each other

                                             3) Yell and scream like banshees

 

 

 

Stay the hell away from my HGH!

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
