Acme Packing Company on Josh Jacobs
From the article
Currently, Jacobs is on the league's commissioner exempt list, a placeholder for a suspension. The league will treat Jacobs' time on the exempt list as time served toward a suspension, but they only have one opportunity to suspend Jacobs for a single violation of the personal conduct policy.
STACKED’s take
Josh Jacobs on commissioner exempt list; suspension timing uncertain pending legal outcome.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is currently on the NFL's commissioner exempt list as a placeholder for suspension related to battery and criminal damage to property charges. The source notes that the NFL will treat Jacobs' time on the exempt list as time served toward a suspension, but the league has only one opportunity to suspend Jacobs for a single violation of the personal conduct policy. This constraint stems from the Ray Rice precedent, when Rice was originally suspended for two games, later suspended indefinitely when video evidence was published by TMZ, forcing the NFL to eventually pay Rice back for all games missed beyond the initial two-game suspension. The timing and ultimate length of Jacobs' suspension remain uncertain pending the outcome of his lawsuit to restrict video evidence release.
