Suspensions are as much a part of the NFL as touchdown celebrations and questionable officiating. Since 2020, teams have faced their fair share of disciplinary action, but only one franchise has managed to steer clear of the commissioner's naughty list. Who's been playing it clean, and who's leading the league in timeouts? Let's break it down.

Here are the total Player Suspensions 32 NFL Teams have Faced since 2020: Only 1 Team maintains a clean Record

Here Are the Total Player Suspensions 32 NFL Teams Have Faced Since 2020: Only 1 Team Maintains a Clean Record

Since 2020, the Arizona Cardinals have faced 26 player suspensions, reflecting a series of off-field challenges. Most recently, wide receiver Zay Jones received a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Despite the charges being dropped, the league enforced the suspension, leaving fans to wonder if the Cardinals should consider adding a legal department to their coaching staff.

With 36 suspensions since 2020, the Falcons have spent nearly as much time in league-mandated timeouts as they have on the field. The most infamous case? Calvin Ridley missed the entire 2022 season after betting on NFL games. Guess he didn't take the "don't gamble on your own sport" rule too seriously.

12. Atlanta Falcons (Adjusted Cap: $284M | Available Cap: $277M)

The Ravens have experienced nine suspensions since 2020. Most recently, wide receiver Diontae Johnson was suspended for one game after refusing to play in a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. It looks like the Ravens are trying to keep their suspension count as low as their turnovers, so both could use some work.

17. Baltimore Ravens

30. Baltimore Ravens

Matching the Ravens, the Bills have also faced nine suspensions since 2020. In the latest incident, newly signed defensive linemen Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht received six-game suspensions for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Maybe next time, the Bills will focus on signing players who enhance their performance legally.

27. Buffalo Bills

29. Buffalo Bills

The Vikings have also tallied nine suspensions since 2020. Recently, they signed cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. Seems like the Vikings are doubling down, hoping their new acquisition doesn't gamble away their playoff chances.

13. Minnesota Vikings (Adjusted Cap: $284M | Available Cap: $273M)

28. Minnesota Vikings

Since 2020, the Patriots have racked up 23 suspensions—perhaps staying a little too true to their reputation for pushing the limits. With numbers like these, it's getting harder to tell whether they're competing for playoff spots or penalty records. At this rate, Bill Belichick might need to add a "suspension specialist" to his coaching staff.

1. New England Patriots (Adjusted Cap: $322M | Available Cap: $308M)

27. New England Patriots

With just 10 suspensions since 2020, the Panthers have kept things relatively tame—at least compared to some other teams. Still, every suspension adds to the challenge, and with their defense already facing issues, they can't afford to lose any more players. At this rate, the only thing hitting harder than their opponents might be the league office's discipline committee.

18. Carolina Panthers

26. Carolina Panthers

The Bears have kept their suspension tally at just three, proving that discipline isn't completely extinct in the NFL. While other teams seem to treat suspensions like a rite of passage, Chicago has managed to stay out of the headlines—at least for off-the-field issues. Maybe they should start offering coaching clinics on how to avoid making the commissioner's naughty list.

9. Chicago Bears (Adjusted Cap: $284M | Available Cap: $280M)

25. Chicago Bears

Like the Bears, the Bengals have kept their suspension count at just three since 2020—quite the turnaround for a franchise once infamous for off-field drama. While they've had their fair share of headlines over the years, this recent stretch of relative discipline might just be a sign of a new era in Cincinnati. Who knew their biggest victory wouldn't be on the scoreboard but in the league's disciplinary records?

10. Cincinnati Bengals (Adjusted Cap: $286M | Available Cap: $280M)

24. Cincinnati Bengals

With 24 suspensions since 2020, the Browns have faced almost as many disciplinary issues as quarterback controversies. Maintaining consistency on the field is hard enough without players constantly sidelined for off-field infractions. At this rate, Cleveland might need to start game-planning for suspensions as much as they do for their opponents.

28. Cleveland Browns (Adjusted Cap: $325M | Available Cap: $273M)

23. Cleveland Browns

The Saints have marched their way to 37 suspensions—one of the highest in the league. With a track record like this, they might need a dedicated "suspensions coordinator" on staff. Whether it's bad luck, bad decisions, or just the Big Easy lifestyle catching up with them, one thing's for sure—New Orleans leads the league in more than just spirited celebrations.

11. New Orleans Saints

22. New Orleans Saints

The Giants have racked up 20 suspensions, proving that size doesn't always come with discipline. With numbers like these, their front office might spend as much time managing suspensions as they do building a competitive roster. If they keep this pace up, they may need a backup plan—not just for injured players but for the ones sidelined by league rulings.

14. New York Giants

21. New York Giants

America's Team has tallied 15 suspensions since 2020, proving that drama in Dallas isn't just reserved for playoff exits. Whether it's penalties on the field or punishments off it, the Cowboys seem to find a way to stay in the headlines. At this rate, Jerry Jones might have to start negotiating suspensions into player contracts—right next to the signing bonuses.

5. Dallas Cowboys (Adjusted Cap: $306M | Available Cap: $285M)

20. Dallas Cowboys

With 12 suspensions since 2020, the Broncos have had almost as many off-field issues as quarterback changes. Discipline hasn't exactly been Denver's strong suit, and these suspensions aren't helping their climb back to relevance. At this rate, they might need more roster depth just to cover for players serving time on the sideline.

11. Denver Broncos

19. Denver Broncos

A staggering 60 suspensions put the Lions at the top of a list no team wants to dominate. While Detroit has been rebuilding its on-field reputation, these off-field issues tell a different story. Dan Campbell's fiery leadership might be turning them into contenders, but if this trend continues, he might have to start preaching discipline as much as toughness.

17. Detroit Lions – Grade: A-

18. Detroit Lions

The Packers have racked up 15 suspensions, a reminder that even in the heart of Green Bay, discipline isn't always part of the playbook. For a franchise that prides itself on tradition and stability, this isn't exactly a stat worth celebrating. If this trend continues, the only thing leaping at Lambeau might be the league's disciplinary committee.

11. Green Bay Packers (Adjusted Cap: $297M | Available Cap: $278M)

17. Green Bay Packers

Pittsburgh's proud tradition of hard-hitting football has come with an unwanted side effect—20 suspensions since 2020. A team known for its blue-collar toughness now finds itself dealing with more disciplinary actions than it'd like. If they want to keep the "Steel Curtain" reputation intact, they might want to focus on keeping players on the field instead of in meetings with the league office.

8. Pittsburgh Steelers (Adjusted Cap: $285M | Available Cap: $282M)

16. Pittsburgh Steelers

Stacking up 38 suspensions, the 49ers are proving that dominance on the field doesn't always translate to discipline off it. While they continue to be a Super Bowl threat, their growing suspension list is starting to rival their injury report. If this trend keeps up, Kyle Shanahan might need a new playbook—one for keeping his roster eligible.

26. San Francisco 49ers (Adjusted Cap: $341M | Available Cap: $263M)

15. San Francisco 49ers

With 23 suspensions since 2020, the Texans have been racking up penalties almost as quickly as draft picks. As the franchise rebuilds, keeping players on the field might be just as important as finding talent. If they want to be taken seriously as contenders, they'll need fewer meetings with the league office and more on-field production.

10. Houston Texans

14. Houston Texans

The Colts have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, racking up 54 suspensions since 2020. With numbers like that, it's starting to feel like they lead the league in off-field penalties. Whether it's bad luck or bad decisions, Indianapolis needs to focus on keeping players on the field instead of in the commissioner's office.

3. Indianapolis Colts (Adjusted Cap: $290M | Available Cap: $286M)

13. Indianapolis Colts

The Jaguars have piled up 28 suspensions since 2020, proving that rebuilding a team comes with more than just on-field challenges. Whether it's bad decisions or bad luck, Jacksonville needs to focus on keeping its roster intact—because a playoff run is a lot harder when half the Team is watching from home.

23. Jacksonville Jaguars

12. Jacksonville Jaguars

Hitting 40 suspensions since 2020, the Chiefs are proving that success on the field doesn't always translate to discipline off it. With talent to spare, Kansas City keeps finding ways to win—but keeping a full roster available might be their toughest challenge yet.

14. Kansas City Chiefs (Adjusted Cap: $286M | Available Cap: $273M)

11. Kansas City Chiefs

The Seahawks have racked up 14 suspensions, showing that competition in Seattle isn't limited to just game day. While the Legion of Boom is long gone, the league office still seems to have their number. At this point, even the famous 12th Man might need to step in for a few snaps.

20. Seattle Seahawks

10. Seattle Seahawks

Tampa Bay has had 25 suspensions since 2020, a number that would make even their Super Bowl banners jealous. While their defense prides itself on being relentless, it seems that the same energy is carrying over to the wrong places. Maybe the front office should start handing out penalties before the league does.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Raiders, sitting at 13 suspensions, almost feel like they're turning over a new leaf—by their standards, at least. For a franchise known for its rebellious image, this level of restraint is almost unsettling. Maybe Vegas is finally learning that the house doesn't always have to lose. Compared to their history, this might be the most disciplined Raiders squad in decades—but let's not jinx it.

2. Las Vegas Raiders

8. Las Vegas Raiders

The Chargers have managed to keep their suspension count to just five, a rare display of discipline in the NFL. For a team known for late-game collapses, at least they're winning in the league's compliance department. Maybe they should start applying that same consistency to closing out fourth quarters.

27. Los Angeles Chargers (Adjusted Cap: $283M | Available Cap: $267M)

7. Los Angeles Chargers

The Jets have managed to stay relatively disciplined with just four suspensions since 2020—a rare win for a franchise known for chaos. At least this time, the drama is happening off the field instead of in the quarterback room.

28. New York Jets

6. New York Jets

The Rams have accumulated 20 suspensions since 2020, adding some off-field drama to their Hollywood setting. Whether it's blockbuster trades or league violations, Los Angeles always finds a way to stay in the headlines.

5. Los Angeles Rams

Only six suspensions for Washington, which is low compared to their off-field drama. Their latest issue? Cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. received a one-game suspension for an illegal hit. The Commanders might not have figured out their ownership drama yet, but at least their suspension numbers are under control—for now.

4. Miami Dolphins

Washington has only six suspensions, a surprisingly low number considering the franchise's off-field turbulence in recent years. With all the front-office shake-ups, maybe keeping players eligible has been the one thing they've managed to get right.

7. Washington Commanders (Adjusted Cap: $298M | Available Cap: $284M)

3. Washington Commanders

The Titans have racked up 18 suspensions, a number that suggests their smashmouth football mentality doesn't always stop at the whistle. Discipline issues might not be as common as Derrick Henry's stiff-arms, but they're definitely making an impact on the roster.

15. Tennessee Titans

2. Tennessee Titans

For all the chaos in the NFC East, the Eagles stand alone with zero suspensions since 2020. Maybe it's the "Brotherly Love" culture—or maybe they're just better at not getting caught. Either way, while other teams are racking up fines, Philly's keeping it clean and letting their play do the talking.
