The road to a desired NFL return for free agent defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs just got a bit rougher. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Buggs has received a suspension from the NFL that will last the first 10 weeks of the season. 
A former JuCo and Alabama grad, Buggs was drafted by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He got a chance to start six games in his third year with the team but was cut near the end of the season. He signed the following summer with the Lions and started 13 of 17 game appearances for Detroit, recording career highs in tackles (46), sacks (1.0), and quarterback hits (10). The Lions signed him to a two-year, $6.2MM extension, as a result, but he was released before the end of the 2023 season.
The Chiefs brought him on for defensive line depth for a postseason run, and though he didn’t appear in any games, he won a Super Bowl ring with Kansas City and signed a reserve/futures deal to remain with the team. That summer saw Buggs turn himself in after two arrest warrants were issued for him citing a charge for misdemeanor animal cruelty.
Two weeks later, Buggs was arrested a second time on charges of domestic violence and burglary after he unlawfully entered the apartment of his child’s mother with the “intent to commit a crime” and dragged her down the stairs. Kansas City quickly parted ways with Buggs, and he’s been working to return to the NFL ever since. Most recently, he spent time in the UFL this spring, playing for the San Antonio Brahmas.
It seemed unlikely to begin with that Buggs would receive another chance in the NFL, despite having the charge for animal cruelty dismissed and the charges for domestic violence and burglary reduced to a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge. The 10-week ban levied by the league today will make a return that much more unlikely for Buggs.
He should be in jail! That’s assault! Do that to a stranger, your sitting in jail….I can’t believe our justice system…let alone the NFL, slap on the wrist league 😡
Yeah, that’s all burglary is-people think it’s stealing, but it’s entering a building or dwelling unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime. The quotes actually highlight one of the two key elements of committing the offense. Serious offense on its own, especially combined with DV.
Best career advice for this guy? Start applying at WalMart and McDonald’s…
Do they hire felons?
His off field behavior really BUGGS me !!
If even KC doesn’t want him… Yikes.
Why haven’t the Browns signed him yet?
