Free agent wide receiver Max McCaffrey is currently serving a 10-week suspension, according to Field Yates of ESPN. According to Yates, McCaffrey began serving the suspension in Week 8, thus, he has eight weeks remaining. McCaffrey was previously suspended by the league for four weeks to begin the 2018 season for an undisclosed reason as well. While there has been no reporting on the specific cause of the suspension, both suspension lengths are common for positive performance-enhancing drug tests.
The Duke alumni is probably best known for his association with other NFL players. His younger brother is Panthers phenom Christian McCaffrey and their father, Ed McCaffrey, played wide receiver for 13 NFL seasons from 1991-2003. Max McCaffrey’s career has yet to have the success of his relatives and this suspension serves as another setback.
Since turning pro in 2016, McCaffrey has bounced between 53-man and practice squad rosters for a number of organizations. He has spent time with the Raiders, Packers, Saints, Jaguars, and 49ers, but has managed just one career reception for four yards.
Going forward, the suspension could be a somewhat moot point for McCaffrey. He was recently selected in the 8th round of the XFL Draft by the DC Defenders and could be poised to seek an opportunity with Vince McMahon‘s newest project. Regardless, NFL teams will have to look elsewhere for veteran depth at the wide receiver position.
This is only news because his brother his an mvp candidate…… otherwise this article would have never been written
Every article written is NFL related. This is NFL related. It would’ve been written even if his last name was Diller.
But then people would be saying it was only written because of Phyllis.
Yea this is totally relevant that a guy who had 1 career catch in the nfl got suspended for 10 games……
No this is only relevant because his brother is in the mvp consideration
No, it’s because the NFL suspended someone for ten games. That’s news regardless of who it is.
What if it was Dilfer?
So not only did you read the irrelevant article, you took time to write a comment on said irrelevant article. Lol ok.
He doesn’t have to be with a team to serve his suspension?
I’m confused too, Alex Collins just served his suspension not on a team as well.
OK thanks!
I only read it for the beer
