Robert Kraft says Patriots will cut star safety if domestic violence accusations are true

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has a zero tolerance for domestic violence.

When appearing on “The Breakfast Club” on Friday, he said safety Jabrill Peppers would be “gone” if the allegations in his reported legal drama are true.

Per NBC10 Boston, the Patriots’ defensive captain was arrested last Saturday on multiple charges, including “assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation and possession of cocaine.” He is currently on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, which means he can’t practice or attend games.

“Once he goes on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, they do their independent checking,” said Kraft. “We’re doing ours. If what was reported is true, he’s gone. There have been some suggestions that this was a setup, and a lot of what’s reported is not accurate.

“The easiest thing would have been to cut him right away, but we’re trying to measure nine times and do right by him. If the facts are as been reported publicly, then he’s not with us.”

Peppers’ attorney claimed there was video evidence, along with “other evidence,” that would fully exonerate Peppers in the case.

“I’ll repeat that we have evidence that completely contradicts the alleged victim’s story, and I expect my client to be fully exonerated,” Peppers’ attorney said.

Peppers’ spot with the Patriots could ultimately depend on that evidence.
