NFL Prepared To Make Changes To Cannabis Use By Players

The National Football League is rethinking its policy on cannabis, according to a report from NBC Sports on Wednesday.

Citing an unnamed league source, the network’s Pro Football Talk reports that “the NFL is prepared to make major concessions regarding the substance-abuse policy, especially as it relates to marijuana” in talks for the next collective bargaining agreement with players.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in January that he had spoken with representatives of the National Football League Players Association about cannabis and confirmed that the league was looking into the issue.

Some big names who’ve been suspended for failing multiple drug tests due to marijuana use Josh Gordon, Randy Gregory, and Martavis Bryant.
