Callaway suspended for substance abuse

Hollywood already took Callaway's spot. Agreed on the latter.

Depends on the next CBA where weed will absolutely be addressed.

When it's totally legal, no way does the NFL keep testing for it. But we ain't there yet.

Well aware of that. However to say Callaway's career could be over because of it is.... premature. It's looking bleak though, I won't lie about that.

I don’t think they’ll be testing for it even after the next CBA no matter where the legal status is in various states around the country.

With Beckham, Landry, Higgins he is battling for one of the last spots in the reciever room. With so many young players playing well I say package him with some picks and try and get trent William's. They need help at the position and I doubt they will get anything as good as a young promising receiver and a mid round pick

Of course it's not technically over right now, just saying this means he will be tested randomly from now on (until the NFL stops testing for it) and his past is checkered with his inability to stop the hippie lettuce. Such a shame. And a waste.

That would be a major coup, but I can't see Skins going for it, as far as Calloway goes. But Williams would be an incredible upgrade to OL.

Which should leave some to wonder how Joe Haden has gone all of these years without getting busted.. He smokes more pot than anybody...

NFL needs to change its rules on pot. It's a hell of a lot safer than booze and it helps players stay off pain meds.

Not sure too many folks would disagree with that. I expect it to be a big talking point with the new CBA Even non-weed people aren’t too bent out of shape about it.

Set weed and opinions on that to the side and you still have a poor decision and behavioral pattern that’s beyond concerning.

Hollywood Higgins next man up. Not worried. This was from an incident last year apparently before the season, so I guess his appeals ran out and now theyu're suspending him. Not worried. Weed ain't shit either, im more worried about PED users

Ah that explains why Freddie said something about it being a thing before he was with the Browns.

Hopefully he doesn't pull a Martavis Bryant after returning -- even without the suspension he's at best our #4. When he returns he might be our 5th..

It's like Josh Gordon all over again. My God, how is that even possible?

flyingfooldoug

They test for alcohol too. Just ask Gordon. He got busted for a beer. Last I heard, it’s legal. Pot may have a ways to go yet

this reads more like..1) Callaway admits messing up "driving back" 2.) around the time Monkin reported Cab as "out of shape"..Callaway & Browns knew at that point of pending suspension from nfl..3) Cab was forced by browns to tell his teammates yesterday, before nfl announced..

And some thought Gordon was irreplaceable...
