NFL, Giants reportedly discussing indefinite suspension for Josh Brown
In light of new revelations about kicker Josh Brown, the NFL and the New York Giants are reportedly considering taking new measures against the player.
A police file containing information from emails, personal journals and counseling sessions in which Brown admitted to domestic assault only were publicized on Wednesday. The NFL and team say they were unaware of the documents until they were released.

Given the new information that contains Brown’s admission to repeatedly beating his ex-wife, Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole reported Thursday that the NFL and the Giants are discussing further punishment for Brown. One possibility is an indefinite suspension for Brown. The league will be particularly stringent considering the recent incidents involving Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, and Greg Hardy.
Brown was arrested in May, 2015 for domestic violence, but the charges were dropped five days later. He originally received a one-game suspension from the NFL. Then this came to light.
After the Rice fiasco, the NFL will not be taking this one lightly.
