Upshaw and Co. should stay away from this one.

Dude. Who do you work for? I think any team should be able to terminate a player's contract based on the severity of his off-the-field play. Terminating a contract in addition to say, a 8-game suspension, gives the player a fair opportunity to continue his career if another club is interested in taking that risk. A year long suspension just puts a player's livelihood in limbo for too long.
