#Browns Ray Farmer's four-game suspension will start at midnight before the first regular season game and end immediately after fourth game

Meh, does not affect the club. GM doesn't need to be in attendance for the games.

Slap on the wrist for the team, phew

[cuwoohio]

Appropriate for the crime. Much ado about nothing as far as the team and draft is concerned.

[Flyin J]

hes not allowed to be a part of any personnel decisions during that stretch also. Hope we stay healthy...

[Comeonman]

Speculation of losing a first round pick over this bullshit was crazy. Glad it's over

[Mark O]

whatever...

NFL laid the hammer down on the Browns by not suspending Ray Farmer for the first round of the draft.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

Can he still contact them by text?

So the NFL decided to leave that part out of their official statement? As did the browns in their response statement? Bullshit.

Thank god.... errr. Goodell.

[cuwoohio]

This decision smells of "burnt bacon".

That was a joke. The tweet implies that the Browns will be punished by not having Farmer suspended during the first round.

I am assuming there are some men out there qualified to be a GM at some level. some extremely qualified who don't feel like a full time job at this point in their career. Could any of these gentlemen be hired as a consultant, get in tune with what Farmer would plan or do during that time and act as a proxy if need be?

Steve,

Farmer already had hired Bill Kuharich, who had been GM at KC & a long time exec, as his right hand man. I'm sure we'll not skip a beat during Farmer's absence.

Fair enough. Any idea on the punishment for the two other rinky dink infractions in Atlanta and New England?

Falcons have been fined $350,000 and will forfeit their fifth-round selection in the 2016 Draft.

NOTHING is being said about the Pats. Fucking bullshit. Richard Sherman was right.

Oh, misread the tweet.
