Long time between strikes, as the first time he was suspended was in '99.

Still, it explains why there was nobody showing any interest in him so far in FA.
It may be that his career is over now.

Cue the 'But I was only re-habbing my injury' defense.

Most likely.
Depending on what substance(s) he was banned for the first time, I suppose a case could be made for a reduction in the ban, especially as it was such a long time ago, but he's still going to be banned for at least 4 games regardless, which makes him fairly worthless to us, at least.

I think he pretty much established he was either going to retire or return to Miami for one more year, anyway. He still may return for them in the second half, but it is doubtful he was going to sign anywhere else.

A. If you don't think half the league is enhanced, your high.

B. Now we can sign him for dirt cheap and bring him in Week 8. We should have a dozen of our scrubs on IR by then.
