Report: Matt Prater to be suspended four games
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on August 24, 2014, 4:23 AM EDT


Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater is set to be suspended for the first four games of the 2014 season after violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.

According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Prater violated the policy due to an alcohol-related offense. He had been in the league’s alcohol program since being charged with a DUI in 2011.

“I’ve made some mistakes,” Prater said. “I’m accepting full responsibility. I’ll learn from it and come back a better person. I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches, the Broncos’ organization and the fans.”

Prater is not expected to appeal the suspension.

Don't hesitate!

He has been in the league's alcohol program for 3 years? And, he is in violation this year again. Hmmmm.....sounds like a dicey business decision to me.

Welcome to New Orleans Matt - there's no such thing as Alcohol "Problems" down here!

Re: Broncos release K Matt Prater
 

Broncos fans are much more upset than happy that he is gone. This move is also about cap dollars. That being said, if he can come down on his salary requirements and control the after work drinking, he could be an upgrade.

never understood the issue with drinking myself when you make this much money and play in new orleans. the cab and limo companies would be happy to take care of the players and keep them out of trouble. priority passengers still i think. so new orleans would be perfect.

god knows he would not be first saints player baby sat :cool:
