Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett met with the NFL on Wednesdayto appeal his indefinite suspension and reportedly cited the punishment the league handed to former Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith in 2013 after he swung a helmet at Richie Incognito in a preseason game, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
Smith was suspended for two preseason games and a regular-season game for ripping off the helmet of the-then Miami Dolphin offensive lineman and swinging it at him.
Per that report, Garrett argued that a suspension for the remaining six games of the regular season was "excessive under the precedent established by Smith's suspension.
