Patriots WR Julian Edelman is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing substances policy, league sources tell @FieldYates and me. Suspension is under appeal.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Julian Edelman is facing a four-game suspension after testing positive for PED’s. Awesome.
Am I mad at Edelman? No. Is he a dumbass for getting caught? Big time. Will he be the same when he finally does come back? Who knows. I’ll tell you what though, one way or another, this has to tie back to Alex Guererro. And honestly, the more I hear that guys name, the more I can’t stand him.
If it weren’t for Guererro privately working out with guys like Brady, Gronk, and Jules, this team wouldn’t have so much stupid pettiness surrounding it right now. But here we are, a few weeks into OTA’s, our star QB and leader finally decided to show up, and now our #1 receiver (who missed all of last season by the way) is facing a four-game suspension because of this jackass Alex Guererro. Get this dude away from my team. I don’t give a shit about his TB12 methods or pliability. We don’t need him anywhere near the guys on this team.
With all of that said, I don’t think the Patriots will suffer much of a setback if Edelman’s suspension is to hold up. It’s just the first four weeks, it won’t be that big of a deal. Here are some names to keep in mind that can fill the void if the suspension does hold:
Patriots WRs (with Julian Edelman facing four-game suspension, per @AdamSchefter and @FieldYates):
Chris Hogan
Phillip Dorsett
Jordan Matthews
Kenny Britt
Cordarrelle Patterson
