Frank Alexander - Suspended for 1 year

[LinvilleGorge]

That's it, he's done.  He was probably already done even prior to this, but this is definitely the icing on the cake.

[Lemory]

That's a shame. Seems like a really nice dude just cant give it up. Hope those millions of dollars that he missed out on was worth it.

Coples signing could be a diamond in the rough signing now, everything is coming into place.

Wow. Have to assume there was a random drug test this week with Hill, Horton and Alexander getting popped. Man, felt bad for Frank after the first and seemed to have his head on right after this one, but no excuse for a third.

Hill's suspension was based on his marijuana arrest in the off-season.

Frank, how in the fug do you get fired on your day off man????

Come on down Coples!

Really hope they're done announcing drug suspensions

Feel bad for the guy in terms of someone who is obviously struggling with a substance abuse problem, but there really is no excuse.  Frank knew he was going to be tested and what the consequences would be and still did it.

It was going to be hard enough for him to recover from his Achilles injury to even continue an NFL career and then this.  The fact the Panthers waived/injured him at the end of TC let's you know they weren't sold on him being here long-term regardless, and this solidifies it.  He reverted to their IR and will stay there through the end of the year, but I would say the chances of him being on any NFL roster in 2017 at less than 1%, and it certainly won't be the Panthers.

You don't hear about the suspension until months after the test.

Neat how you can do all sorts of terrible things, cheat, beat women, but smoke some weed and get ready for the hammer.

By the new drug policy this would be like his 6th or 7th failed test.

To be fair, it's not like this is Franks first failed test.

My lasting memory of Frank is him getting a personal foul after he sacked Russell Wilson to turn what should have been 4th and forever into a first down in the 2013 opener.

I'm pretty sure that was his last play in a Panthers uniform, if not close to it.
