Broncos' Jonathon Cooper to Start Season on Commissioner's Exempt List, AP Source Says
Cooper will continue to be paid but cannot practice or play while the NFL reviews multiple charges from June domestic-violence arrests.
- On Sunday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell placed Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper on the Commissioner Exempt List, barring him from team activities while the league reviews his domestic violence charges.
- The move follows two June arrests, with Cooper facing a felony assault charge for strangulation and an arraignment scheduled for Monday in Douglas County on multiple domestic violence allegations.
- While placed on the list, Cooper retains his $1.215 million base salary but cannot practice or play in games, and he does not count toward the Broncos' 53-man roster limit.
- The Broncos must now address the vacancy left by the elite pass rusher, who started 52 consecutive games. Head coach Sean Payton previously excused him from June minicamp as the situation developed.
- It remains unclear how long Cooper will remain on the list as the NFL continues its investigation. The league could impose further disciplinary action, including a suspension, depending on the final review.
