17. Appealed for a jury trial set for November

Yes he was found guilty in a bench trial before a judge - something about the North Carolina legal system allows this so technically he isn't convicted and due process is still ongoing which the Panthers position during the summer was to wait for the process to play it before making a decision. Ron Rivera deactivated him after the Ray Rice video even after a game where he made critical plays. It is still a question whether he'll play again.

Another aspect he was franchise tagged. $13 million which goes against the Panthers already tight cap situation. They can't recoup money under the CBA if they released him before a conviction (which in NC he technically isn't convicted -- he isn't sentenced for example)
