He seems to be caught in a no-win situation. Sad.

I don't know. You can understand it when his condition was real bad, but is it still that bad ? If it is, he's got more problems than football. Theoretically, there is also the TUE exemption. Did he or the Bills try it ? If so, and it was denied they should make a stink about it. Does he really need it ? There has to be a doc somewhere says he does. I just don't know.

Presumably, the Bills are appealing for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) under the league’s drug policy. A TUE can be granted if the athlete requires a “prohibited substance to treat an appropriately diagnosed medical problem.”

The problem is, the league’s policy specifically states that an applicant may not begin use of the prohibited substance until after the TUE is granted.

With the continued rise of use of medicinal marijuana and more states passing legislation okaying recreational use, the league is going to have to address the issue sooner rather than later.

But there is a difference - one is legal and one is not(in some states) and even if every state legalizes it the NFL can still say NO use allowed.

I don't understand these guys who most have a short life in the NFL to make their money mess it up with crap like this...put in your 5-10 years, stick to the rules, make some money and then party when its over.

They let not only themselves down, but their team and their fans.

like you said its legal in a lot of states and I think in 2 years it will legal in most. the country went through this years ago with alcohol, when other states see it they fall inj line. another issue is if a doctor prescribes it the NFL should allow it. im sure not every doctor is gonna start to prescribe it on a regular basis.

Another "steal" by the Bills. It's unreal how much smarter we are than the rest of the league.

He was a 7th round pick who cares. It was worth a shot.

Exactly, how many 7th round picks making minimal money actually start ?

Re: Henderson might be getting suspended again.

this suspension is total BS

several states at this point have legalized recreational marijuana.......

this guy has an issue and a prescription and is being chastised. the league needs to catch up with society.

SOCIETY needs to catch up with SOCIETY.

i work in the medical marijuana field. and had to go on a government sponsored vacation, because i broke a couple rules in canada. but....... so be it

**** the governments. **** their vague rules. this is not a performance enhancer. sentrel has a legit need and while its legal for part of society it should be legal for him too


but im sure they would give him oxy contin if his back hurt what a joke by the league

The league rules are not vague.

Whether you agree with them or not is a separate issue.
