the Dallas Cowboys lick their wounds from a tough loss, a former starting safety for Dallas’ season is coming to an abrupt end. Damontae Kazee joined the Pittsburgh Steelers after his stint with the Cowboys, but he could be looking for a new team once again after being suspended from the NFL.
On December 18, the league’s office announced they were suspending Kazee after a recent hit on Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. on December 16. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the league cites “repeated violations” for violating league rules.
Kazee has made 14 appearances for the Steelers this season, including 9 starts. He was near the end of his second season in Pittsburgh, but will now not be paid for the remainder of the season.
While Kazee dealt with off-the-field issues while with the Cowboys, this is the first suspension of his career. Now 30 years old, Kazee is in the first year of a two-year deal with Pittsburgh but is only guaranteed $875,000 in the second year of the deal.
