Brown was previously suspended for the opening game of the season for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy after the NFL investigated his arrest in May 2015 for spousal abuse. He was not charged by local authorities in the case in King County.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants released placekicker Josh Brown on Tuesday, six days after police documents revealed Brown had admitted to repeatedly abusing his former wife while they were married.
The move came shortly after Brown, who was the Seahawks’ kicker from 2003-07, issued a statement insisting that he never hit his wife during a six-year period when he admits spousal abuse.
