    Sources: Jameis Winston to be suspended for first three games

    The NFL is planning to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston the first three games of the season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. This according to league sources.
    The planned suspension stems from an alleged incident with an Uber driver in Scottsdale, Arizona, in March 2016.
    The league still has not notified Winston of its official decision, and the circumstances surrounding it still could lead to an increase or decrease of the three games, per sources.
    One source said Winston could be notified as early as Friday, but others think it will be handed down sometime in the next week, per sources. An appeal could be discussed, but they have proven to be largely fruitless in the past, most recently with Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who was suspended six games last August.
    Winston would lose $124,000 in base salary for a three-game suspension because his base salary is only $705,000 this season. His base salary for next season is scheduled to be over $20.9 million, reducing the chance he would consider appealing this three-game suspension.
    NFL investigator Lisa Friel helped spearhead the investigation that would see the suspension of another NFL star.

    ESPN Tallahassee host Jeff Cameron initially reported this week on his talk show that Winston was bracing to be suspended.

    I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for us. Fitzpatrick can very be good sometimes.

      I hearya spurr. Winston does a lot of braindead things over a season that cost them games. He's a great talent with a walnut for a brain. Add on top of that he's a POS and you wonder how Tampa can have him as the face of its franchise. Then again Sapp used to have that spot too. That's some franchise they run down there.
