Dallas Cowboys second-year defensive end Sam Williams was arrested on marijuana and weapon charges Sunday.
A change in the collective bargaining agreement between the league and NFL Players Association could mean Williams'might not cause an issue with the league. According to Dan Graziano reporting for ESPN, a memo from the NFLPA deal indicated"violations of law for marijuana possession generally will not result in suspension."
One recent similar case that might shed light on the situation is the arrest of Shi Smith. The third-year Carolina Panthers wide receiver was arrested in March 2022 on charges of possession of an unlawful handgun and a narcotic with intent to distribute. Smith was given the opportunity in November to resolve the charges by completing a diversion program. At the time, Smith expressed his remorse. As of this writing, the sixth-round pick has not missed a game due to suspension.
While the weed might not be an issue, there's a possibility of the gun charge being more serious of a concern for the league. In the 2022 season, then-Kansas City Chief Frank Clark was suspended for two games related to his no contest plea in a 2021 felony firearm possession charge. Clark was pulled over in Los Angeles on a vehicle violation and taken into custody when police say they saw an Uzi in his vehicle.Dallas hosts the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday for the third and final preseason game.
