Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington has reportedly been suspended by the NFL for the entire 2014 season. The team announced the suspension in a statement on Friday: In a blow to what was one of the best defenses in the league last season, the NFL has suspended linebacker Daryl Washington for at least a year, it was announced Friday: "The suspension is for a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy, the same reason Washington was suspended last year, and unrelated to Washington’s recent plea bargain for an assault charge. The suspension begins immediately. “It’s completely unacceptable that Daryl has once again put us in this position," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said. "We all know what the consequences are and will deal with them. From a personal standpoint, our hope is that this suspension will give Daryl the opportunity to accept the necessary help and guidance to get his life back on track and we will certainly support him however we can. “As it pertains to our team, our approach is the same as it’s always been: next man up. We talk a lot about how critical depth is to a team because situations always arise where you lose players, whether by injury or other circumstances such as this one. One player’s absence is another’s opportunity. That approach has served us well in the past and we will rely on it now.” http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...edly-will-be-suspended-for-entire-2014-season
You guys still have a good defense and he's just 1 player, albeit a good one. AZ will still be dangerous on defense
The Cards' D should be good, but they could have been better. With Dansby gone and the rest of the D getting up there in age we'll just have to see how effective the D will be without the younger Washington. Leave it to a bonehead.
