In an interesting twist, the NFL has suspended former Oakland Raiders linebacker...

Kristian Dyer has an article written in the NY Metro, in which Dyer checks in on Cotchery’s progress from offseason surgery (he’s doing well) but also asks about how Rex has characterized some former players and teammates of Cotchery’s.
