NFL puts Brown on ‘exempt’ list
The NFL placed Josh Brown on paid leave Friday hours after coach Ben McAdoo struggled to answer questions about how the New York Giants might discipline the kicker for abusing his wife. In a letter to the 14-year veteran, NFL senior VP of labour policy Adolpho Birch said Brown was being placed on the league’s “exempt list” while it investigates whether he should be suspended as punishment for several alleged acts of spousal abuse. Brown cannot attend practices or Giants games but can go to Giants headquarters for meetings and workouts. Brown could appeal the decision.
