Joseph Randle Suspended 4 Games: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

The NFL has suspended former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle four games without pay for violating the league's personal conduct policy, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. 

The incident that led to Randle's suspension occurred in February, when the running back was arrested for possession of marijuana. Police were contacted after a dispute between Randle and the mother of his son, when Randle allegedly broke a car window and threatened her with a gun.

Charges were later dropped in the case, though the NFL conducted its own investigation and found him to be in violation of the conduct policy.

On Wednesday, ESPN's Ed Werder reported one team that was interested in signing Randle has backed off after learning of his suspension.

Randle, 23, has rushed for 315 yards and four touchdowns in six games this season. He was cut by the Cowboys in early November for a number of reasons that included "failing production, off-field incidents and pending NFL discipline," according to a source of Werder (h/t Todd Archer of ESPN.com).

This latest news will make it tougher for Randle to find an NFL team as a free agent, as he'll have to serve his suspension upon being signed and will be out of action for a month. Randle is a young, talented player, however, so even if he doesn't land with a team this year, he will likely be given a second chance by a team next season.
