Broncos suspend 2 execs
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos came down hard on their two executives facing drunken driving charges, suspending them without pay and making it clear they must straighten out their lives if they want to work in the NFL again.
Director of player personnel Matt Russell was suspended indefinitely, and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert was suspended for a month. Team president Joe Ellis said both men expressed remorse. But “this in no way excuses their conduct,” Ellis said.
Russell and Heckert will be provided with confidential treatment, rehabilitation and counseling services and must comply with these programs.
