Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that free agent CB Morris Claiborne is facing a four-game suspension for violations of the substance abuse policy.
According to Rapoport, Claiborne is appealing and it could be reduced.
This may explain why he’s still available, even though a number of teams could use cornerback help.
Claiborne recently worked out for the Vikings, but ultimately left Minnesota without a deal.
Claiborne, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2012. He played out his rookie contract with Dallas before returning to the team on a one-year, $3 million for the 2016 season.
Last year, Claiborne departed for a one-year contract worth $5 million with the Jets and re-signed with New York to another one-year, $7 million deal last year.
In 2018, Claiborne appeared in 15 and recorded 57 total tackles, two interceptions, 14 pass defenses, and scored one defensive touchdown.
We have him featured in our Top 50 Available Free Agents list.
