Earlier today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Kansas City Chiefs CB Bashaud Breeland would still be receiving a four-game suspension from the league. Now, Breeland has confirmed his suspension and posted a public apology on Instagram and Twitter, addressed to everyone in the organization, his family and the Chiefs Kingdom. The apology includes a note from Breeland and a portion of one of Breeland’s music videos from his song titled “Never.”
“As previously announced by the League, I have received a 4 game suspension for off-the-field matters.
I post this today because I want to apologize, publicly, to the entire Chiefs organization, my coaches, teammates, family and fans.
I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I look forward to getting back on the field with my teammates to defend our Super Bowl Title.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support, and Let’s Go Chiefs!”
From the sounds of it, Breeland will not be appealing his punishment and will accept the four-game suspension from the league. That means he will officially miss one of the toughest stretches of the season, as the team faces the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots in the first four weeks.
Back in July, Breeland vowed to earn respect and a big contract during the 2020 NFL season. He’s already off to a great start at training camp, but it appears he’ll have to earn those things after missing the first quarter of the season.
