Report: Seahawks' Kendricks suspended for insider trading

Ken Blaze / USA TODAY Sports

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL for insider trading, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, who added that Kendricks will be unable to play for the Seahawks until further notice.

The linebacker pleaded guilty to insider trading Sept. 6, and reportedly planned to appeal the suspension.

The Cleveland Browns released the 27-year-old on Aug. 29 after he was charged. He won't be sentenced until Jan. 24 and could be facing 30-to-37 months in prison, based on federal guidelines.

Despite the plea, Seattle signed Kendricks to a one-year contract in September. He accumulated 13 tackles and two sacks in three games for the team.
