As a matter of general employment law, I know of no laws precluding the league or Lurie from suspending Reid.

But what about this: Persons Covered by Policy
The following persons ("Covered Persons") shall be considered subject to this Policy: (i) all players under contract; (ii) all full-time employees of the National Football League, its Member Clubs and related entities;
