Richie Incognito's chances of returning to the
Dolphins appear to be small. (USATSI) Richie Incognito was suspended by the Dolphins last Sunday, days after teammate
Jonathan Martin left the club amid allegations that he was bullied and Incognito was the ringleader.Coach Joe Philbin called Incognito's suspension indefinite, which means there is currently no timetable for his return. It also means that Incognito doesn't collect his $235,294.12 weekly salary, which could eventually lead him to
file a grievance against the team.
But according to
ProFootballTalk.com, under the collective bargaining agreement, a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team can't last more than four games. That means the Dolphins will have to decide what to do with Incognito by Dec. 2, the day after what would be his fourth missed game.The team appears to have two options: Reinstate Incognito on or before Dec. 2 or release him.
