I don't know... I think the NFL could have done more.

Because that's what they negotiated in the CBA. There is a set policy for drugs and PEDs, not so much one of behavior off the field. (assaults/DUIs/etc) That's why they can argue for a year long suspension for a player beating his girl, but they don't argue for a player caught 4 times smoking weed.
