I don’t know about that. It’s a bye week and he wasn’t out doping up or shooting people. The video I saw was simply partying. If he’s not breaking the law or putting himself in danger, I fail to understand why the team would care. I certainly wouldn’t want MY employer to take such a view on what happens during my off hours, especially when I have an extra week off.

If you had an employer who is in full public view like the NFL so much, there is little doubt that these sideline events are a negative on its income-generation, and you would have had a contract that causes you to limit this type of thing.
Just read another article that he was in rehab over the summer. That changes everything.
Thanks for a moment of clarity here. Apparently, it’s the ultimate sin now to have some fun now if you are over 21 and a quarterback with a weekend off. This is absurd.
If he was told by his boss not to go out and party (bad imagery for the team) and told the boss FU, then this is well deserved.
Professional services contracts at this level frequently contain provisions for off-the-field behavior.
Not just his team but the entire league is affected when things go bad.
He is acting like he is too immature to understand that.
Here’s another side of this you might find interesting:
