Exactly. Where in the rules does it say that the NFL will impose a fine and/or suspend a player for a certain number of games for being accused of a crime, even after charges are dropped?

Unfortunately, the charges were not dropped. The trial will proceed as usual, however the two sides have agreed not to argue in court. After the trial, Sean will not be found guilty, but he will also NOT be acquited. So basically, the NFL can decide to do whatever they want--fine, suspend, or nothing.

I'll bet they suspend him for at least 1 game.
