Sounds like it could just be a fine for the player.

Oh man. All the players are going to be on the sidelines eating Cheetos.....

Welcome back Gregory and Irving. That would be huge to this defense

 

[Reid1boys]

Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, they are free at last!.... and we are also. Welcome bag Randy and hopefully Mr. Irving.

Good.

They were one of the last to still have huge suspensions for pot

That is a proposal from the NFLPA to the owners. The new CBA hasn't been approved so it's a little or way to soon to be proclaiming anything. Personally I don't think the league should agree with that. The courts have already ruled that even though it may be legal in some states that employers in those states can still have company policies the forbid the use of it and is legal grounds for either not hiring someone that tests positive or terminated for testing positive. People that are not in professional sports can legally take steroids but that doesn't mean the NFL shouldn't be able to ban that.

Allow me stand on precedence but I always argued that Quincy Carter was better Henson and Hutchinson.

It's funny that's a concession. (Not that I dont agree with you) What do they care in any event? They will still have conduct detrimental, so its not as if NFL players will be advertising their marijuana use. Its probably better for the leagues reputation to keep the subject out of the news altogether anyways, as opposed to so and so failed another drug test.

Finally our players will be hungry

It's going to be different than what it sounds.

Sure we're not going to suspend you based on a drug test, but get stopped out in town or arrested and it'll be a different story.

Great. We need more potheads in Dallas.

The league should just quietly stop testing for it. Makes no sense to me why they continue to shine the light on this. Nothing good for the league, the player, the team or the fans comes from trying to weed out the smokers.
