NEW YORK — NFL teams will be disciplined when their employees, including players, violate the league's personal conduct policy.

Moments after announcing the one-year suspension of Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, and an eight-game ban for Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry Tuesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released his strengthened conduct policy. Along with longer suspensions and larger fines for individuals who violate the policy, Goodell will hold teams responsible, as well.

The strengthened standards apply to all NFL employees: players, coaches, officials, owners, front-office and league personnel. And Goodell emphasized in the new policy that those standards will be considerably tighter than outside the league.
