League Policies for Players
2018
It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League. Everyone who is part of the league
must refrain from conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the NFL. This
includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league
office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business.
Conduct by anyone in the league that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or irresponsible puts innocent
victims at risk, damages the reputation of others in the game, and undercuts public respect and support for
the NFL. We must endeavor at all times to be people of high character; we must show respect for others
inside and outside our workplace; and we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on
ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL.
To this end, the league has increased education regarding respect and appropriate behavior, has
provided resources for all employees to assist them in conforming their behavior to the standards expected
of them, and has made clear that the league's goal is to prevent violations of the Personal Conduct Policy.
In order to uphold our high standards, when violations of this Personal Conduct Policy do occur,
appropriate disciplinary action must follow.
This Personal Conduct Policy is issued pursuant to the Commissioner's authority under the
Constitution and Bylaws, Collective Bargaining Agreement and NFL Player Contract to address and
sanction conduct detrimental to the league and professional football. It applies to players under contract;
all rookie players selected in the NFL college draft and all undrafted rookie players, unsigned veterans who
were under contract in the prior League Year; and other prospective players once they commence
negotiations with a club concerning employment.
