New York Giants kicker Josh Brown has reportedly played his last game for the organization.

Brown admitted in documents to horrifically abusing his wife and has now been placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. Sources close to the situation feel that he won’t ever play for the Giants again, according to ESPN.

Brown wrote that he had “physically, emotionally and verbally” abused his wife on several different occasions. (RELATED: Alarming Details Released From New York Giants Kicker’s Domestic Violence Case)

The NFL has struggled for a long time with the perception that it doesn’t sufficiently punish domestic abusers. If the Giants release Brown, there is a very good chance he will never play in the NFL again.
