Trust me, not defending his PA, just find it laughable. But hey, it's 2020 right? I swear, Roudy Roddy would be blowing heads off people there days.

Yeah it is rather odd to me as well.  The way I think about it, an unsigned player that gets suspended for X number of games, the suspension should start from the day they are signed.  But that isn't how it works from what I understand.  It starts from week one.   So come mid season a playoff contender will toss some money at him week 9.   Seems more of a, "Hey you get 8 weeks off,"  than a suspension.
