Looks like he won't be suspended by the league. At least not until the case gets resolved thru the courts... which could take many many months. It's likely this case gets dropped just based on inadmissible evidence, and no suspension or fine will ever be handed out by the league.  Expect Chung to play in all 19 games this year for the Pats.

You mean 23, right?

Players who haven’t been charged with a crime have been suspended on the basis of allegations before. He probably catches a short suspension as a result of this whole thing.

Dang. I wonder how much he had? I’m guessing an 8 ball

or less, more than an 8 ball is with intent to sell.  But I don't think a judge would "allow"a DA to charge a millionaire with selling coke for $200 worth if he had 2 8s

Just read on a google search a felony amount in mass is a half zip. So he had at least that. 

It’s 0.5 g in TN.

CBA and the substance abuse guidelines.  The league has to follow the guidelines.  They could get him for conduct detrimental to the league but that is a reach at this point.

You do know that the evidence is completely admissible, right? They 100% had probable cause if they were called out to an alarm.  Or would you prefer police ignore reports from alarm companies?

It’s not really substance abuse though, it’s just possession at this stage and he likely won’t fail a drug test.

I think something under the personal conduct policy is the way the NFL will go with this one. It’s not a good look and they’ll probably punish him under those rules since they won’t get him under the substance abuse policy.

Precedent was set for up to 4 game suspension w/o being in the program, or a failed test, for a drug related arrest.
