NFL Stars Slammed with Exemptions Amid Offseason Legal Troubles Before 2026 Season
Three NFL players, including Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, have been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to offseason legal issues, bringing the total number of players on the list to over 20 as the 2026 season approaches.
Three NFL players, including Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, and Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, have been placed on Commissioner's Exempt List following an offseason marred by legal troubles ahead of the 2026 season. This move temporarily suspends their ability to participate in training camp and regular-season games until a decision is made regarding their futures with the league. The exemptions are a result of Adams' recent conviction for driving under the influence, while Cooper faced charges related to domestic violence. Jacobs was also involved in a high-profile dispute with the Packers over a contract extension.
