I am assuming the closest precedence we have to this for reference is Ridley's situation. When Ridley had his suspension, he was heading into the final year of his rookie deal as well (although for him it was his 5th year option. But still similar). In Ridley's case, he did not get paid for that 2022 season and the contract deferred so that his final season was then upon reinstatement (which is now this coming 2023 season). So, my guess would be that once the league rules on if he is suspended and for how long, that contract of his will defer until he is reinstated (when or if that is) and the Colts would hold his rights for that final coming year whenever it is. That being said, his $2.743M remaining year on his contract only has like $36K in dead money if he is cut. So, the Colts could feasibly cut him at any time during this process and just handle that tiny cap acceleration now and be done with it. I imagine this will all come down to what the final details are and how significant the league deems the suspension as being worthy of. I feel pretty confident it will likely be one of those "indefinite suspensions" with a minimum duration. Likely more than that minimum 1-year duration that Ridley and some of the Lions' players got recently if all the details and extent of the wagers are accurate. Really sucks for this kid. He has so much promise and potential and it was his time to shine. He made the most of his opportunity when you consider that he is really truly not the prototypical Ballard type of long, lengthy CB. He just balled out and made plays when he had the chance and was finally getting his true opportunity. Tough break, but hard to really feel bad when he admittedly did stuff that everyone had to know they couldn't do with the league's recent sternness on the issue. Oof. -
