The NFL has added four additional games to free agent Max Bullough‘s four-game suspension, meaning he’s now banned for half of the upcoming season, reports Howard Balzer of BalzerFootball.com (Twitter link). Bullough was originally suspended for violating the league’s PED policy.
The Texans moved relatively swiftly to remove Bullough from their roster earlier this year, waiving less than a month after news of his suspension dropped. Bullough, 25, wasn’t a high-impact player during his time in Houston, at least on defense, as he started only four games in three seasons. However, he did play a large role on special teams, playing more than half the Texans’ snaps in that facet of the game.
Bullough is free to sign with any club, but his concurrent suspensions clearly make him an uninteresting asset. It’s possible he could draw more interest near midseason when his ban is nearing an end.
He was dumb in college and now dumb in the pros. Flushed his golden ticket down the toilet.
Why was he banned an additional 4 games?
I don’t care if he was suspended 1 day or banned for life… but I hope there’s a reason for whatever they did. NFL is so arbitrary with these suspensions.
Is there some specific reason why they decided to extend his suspension?
