  • Brandon Browner, Seahawks Cornerback, Suspended Indefinitely

    Brandon Browner, a member of the Seattle Seahawks, has been targeted again for refusing to comply with the NFL’s policy against drug abuse for players. Browner was already set to serve a lengthy suspension for breaking the NFL rules, although now it looks to be even more serious.

    While it was originally reported that Brandon Browner’s latest offense would only be punishable by a one year suspension, the NFL has changed their ruling to suspend him indefinitely.

    With it being unclear when Browner will ever return to the NFL, it is likely that when he does, he will not be playing for the Seahawks.

    As Browner has been a problem in the past, the Seahawks have no neeed to tolerate his behavior anymore, as the best team in the league.

    He was scheduled to be a free agent in March, and based on speculation that had been going around the league, the Seahawks had not been planning to re-sign him.

    As a member of the toughest defense in the league and the “Legion Of Boom,” he came to Seattle in 2011, and was also named to the 2011 Pro Bowl.

    This is not the first time that Brandon Browner has violated the rules that are set to by the NFL against the use of drugs, but it may be the last. He was punished using performance enhancing drugs last season, which caused him to miss the final four games, but this time, it was reported that he has been using marijuana.

    The ironic part of the situation is that marijuana is actually legal in the state of Washington where Browner plays. Is the indefinite suspension necessary? Discuss.

    With the updated report, it seems that he is out for the season, and his career might be over as well. Speaking on the situation, Brandon Browner said “Although I disagree with the circumstances surrounding my suspension, I accept responsibility for all of my actions and I apologize for any that causes any unflattering reflections of my family and the Seahawks.” He also said that he believes that he is innocent, and plans to use his available legal resources to prove it.

    The loss of Brandon Browner does not seem to be hurting the Seattle Seahawks yet, and they are 9-1 in the 10 games that he has missed. In the middle of his talks of suspension he has also been injured, and missed the last four games due to injury.

  • Brandon Browner, Of The Seattle Seahawks, Receives One Year Suspension

    Another NFL star has been slammed with a suspension. Brandon Browner, a defensive player for the Seattle Seahawks, will serve a one year suspension from the team, due to his violation of the team’s substance abuse policy.

    Brandon Browner is a cornerback for the Seahawks, and due to his breaking of the rules that are set by the NFL, as well as the team, he will be forced to serve a lengthy suspension.

    It is likely that he will be dropped from the time after the news is confirmed, since this will be his second suspension for violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. He was using performance enhancing drugs last season, which caused him to miss the final four games, but this time, it was reported that he has been using marijuana.

    Before the announcement of his second violation, Browner had already been placed on the injured reserve list. It was already questionable whether he would be able to return this season, and now that he has violated the substance abuse policy, it is official that fans will not be able to see him return to the field any time soon.

    He will also become a free agent as of March, and it was likely that that the Seahawks would not be re-signing him anyway, based on speculation that had been going around the league. It seems almost certain at this point that the Seahawks will move on without Browner, a player that came to Seattle in 2011, and was named to the 2011 Pro Bowl.

    In addition to Brandon Browner, another cornerback for the Seahwawks, Walter Thurmond, was suspended for four games, which was also due to marijuana usage.

    Following the second violation by Brandon Browner, this marks the sixth Seahawks player to be suspended for a drug violation since 2011.

    Bradon Browner has violated the league’s substance abuse policy for a second time, and this time it carries a very serious suspension along with it, and will likely get him dropped from the team as well.
