St. Louis Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar realized a helpful lesson about violating the league’s policy towards efficiency-enhancing substances.
Not solely can it price you taking part in time, but your job.
Dunbar was suspended for the primary 4 video games of this season for violating the league’s coverage, but St. Louis went a step further and released him right now. Even if one other crew picks up Dunbar this week, he’ll nonetheless must serve that four-recreation suspension.
The Rams’ choice – or Dunbar’s – will certainly cost the linebacker.
Dunbar signed a two-12 months deal worth $3.05 million with St. Louis in 2012. He was slated to earn $1.3 million this season (minus $305,882 because of the suspension).
However, Dunbar is at the moment unemployed and left hoping one other staff will sign him. Whereas one other workforce will probably take an opportunity on Dunbar (come on, this is the NFL), he’ll most likely should earn the league minimal and prove himself – once more – earlier than earning a greater contract.
Dunbar entered the league as an undrafted free agent with New Orleans in 2008. He had four productive seasons with the Saints earlier than signing with the Rams in 2012. Dunbar began in all sixteen video games last year, totaling 113 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 12 hits on opposing quarterbacks, two interceptions and five passes defensed.
