Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report says 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith could be facing a significant suspension.
“The NFL is paying very very close attention to this. They’re very disturbed by it, I’ve talked to some league officials who say basically they’re going to see what the Niners do and they’re going to see how this plays out. But if this actually happened, Aldon Smith is in trouble with the league. The league really wants to make a stand here and send a message,” said Freeman.
Freeman said the NFL is trying to let teams deal with problems like this instead of stepping in. But they will step in if the Niners don’t make a statement with Smith.
“So the Niners and Aldon Smith could be in deep trouble here. I would not be surprised if there was a significant suspension if all of this turns out true,” Freeman said.
