Seahawks' Brandon Browner banned indefinitely

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Wednesday for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Earlier Wednesday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Browner had his appeal of a one-year suspension denied.

The suspension is the second in two seasons for Browner. He was suspended four games last season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. He is the second Seahawks player to be suspended for violating the substance abuse policy this season. Fellow cornerback Walter Thurmond is serving the final week of a four-game suspension.

SNIP

Browner is the seventh official suspension for a Seattle player for substance-abuse or performance-enhancing drugs violations by the league since 2011. That doesn't include Richard Sherman, whose suspension was overturned on appeal late last season.

The NFL needs to do a thorough investigation of that team and pull draft picks if evidence is found about widespread cheating.

Why this is not a bigger story is beyond me.
