NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Marshawn Lynch for the first three games of the 2009 season, according to sources. An appeal by Lynch is expected. Lynch will lose approximately $112,000 of his $635,000 base salary for 2009 during the suspension. Lynch was arrested near Los Angeles Feb. 11 and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge. In searching a parked car carrying Lynch, Culver City police found a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun inside a backpack in the trunk. Prosecutors said the backpack contained other items belonging to Lynch. Police said they also found four marijuana cigarettes in the car, but no drug charges were filed.
