When it rains, it pours. According to reports, Jonathan Dwyer will be the latest NFL player to bring negative attention to the league after being arrested on domestic violence charges on Wednesday, but exact details were not provided.
The report of the Arizona Cardinals running back’s arrest comes from Tyler Baldwin of 3TV in Phoenix, Arizona.

Dwyer’s reported arrest comes in the wake of the situations with Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald.
Considering he is not a high-level player like the other players facing legal issues, we will have to see whether the Cardinals decide to do the exempt/commissioners list or simply release the running back outright.
If Dwyer is shown the door, the Cardinals would be able to call on practice squad running back Chris Rainey to fill Dwyer’s spot on the 53-man roster. There is one problem, however. Rainey has previously been released from a team because of a domestic violence incident.
The NFL and the players need to get their act together. Fast.
