NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent told USA Today Sports that he was the person who told Peterson that he would get credit for his time on the exempt list. But because Peterson refused to attend a meeting with the league last Friday, that promise couldn't be kept.
"But Adrian, you've got to come talk," Vincent said to Peterson, he told USA Today Sports. "You, your team, your counselors, whoever. Just come and tell us where you are."
Vincent didnt say that upfront - the NFL just makes stuff up as it goes along - its crazy on how they operate. He was told months ago he would get credit - not you will get credit if show up for a meeting...
According to the enhanced policy, first offenses of assault, battery or domestic violence bring a six-game suspension.
But the union is arguing that the new policy was enacted after the incident had already occurred and shouldn't be retroactively applied to Peterson's conduct in May 2014.
The union claims the "NFL is making up the process and punishment as it goes -- a blatant violation of the CBA.''
