Diversion program for Alaric Jackson would likely result in another suspension

Personal Conduct Policy makes entry into diversion program an automatic violation.

2016 NFL Personal Conduct Policy

A league official forwarded this 2016 update of the Personal Conduct Policy without further explanation, when NFL officials were asked to respond to a detailed list of questions about its handling of domestic violence allegations.

Look for “Disposition of a Criminal Proceeding.”

(I realize this is 2016 but per ChatGPT it remains. I just couldn’t get a working link)

Again, nowhere does it say he's in it.

Diversion program "would likely..."

...has been assigned for the program "AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MISDEMEANOR PROSECUTION".

He wan NOT, and is NOT going to be, prosecuted, so all this speculation is moot.

I do not understand what is so difficult for people to understand about this.

Playing week 1 does not equal he won't be suspended. I don't think anyone was guaranteeing this would happen for week 1. It might not happen at all. The only point some of us are saying is don't assume anything when it comes to NFL discipline. Not being prosecuted doesn't really mean anything to the NFL's independent investigations. This could drag on for a while for both him and Puka. Might even be into next season if legal process gets bound up.

There's no way they are suspending players days before the season opener

Agreed. NO WAY they suspend him before week 1.

@VegasRam

The NFL has no hard deadline to decide before Week 1. Suspensions can come anytime, even mid-season, like Von Miller’s in 2024 after Week 4. They usually wait for the legal process to play out first, then run their own investigation.

Bills' Von Miller suspended by NFL for 4 games for violating personal conduct policy

Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

apnews.com

Von Miller’s 2024 suspension was a 4-game suspension announced Oct. 1, 2024, after he had already played the Bills’ first four games. The NFL said only that he violated the Personal Conduct Policy. It did not publish a detailed findings letter.

Tied to a Nov. 29, 2023 incident during Buffalo’s bye week in suburban Dallas. Miller turned himself in the next day on a warrant accusing him of third-degree felony assault of his longtime girlfriend and the mother of two of his children.

No criminal charges were filed. The league still ran its own investigation and issued the suspension anyway.

He missed Weeks 5–8 and returned Oct. 28.

@CGI_Ram -

I understand your point, although you shifted a bit to Goodell from "he's in a diversion program".

So Goodell can play the personal conduct card EVEN THOUGH charges are essentially gone and it's a he said she said issue. Which is total BS, and the NFLPA will not be quiet about this.

I will concede that the "2nd offense" card is valid, even though it's not an offense if not treated as such.

This is making my head hurt!

And rename this thread too. This one and Puka’s so negative and we need zero negative vibes starting the season.
