New England Patriots veteran safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested on Saturday on charges, including strangulation and drug possession, in Braintree, Massachusetts. 

Police announced the arrest of Peppers on Monday, saying they had responded to a residential address early Saturday morning after someone called about a disturbance. 

Peppers, a team captain for the Patriots, is expected to be charged with “assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B substance believed to be cocaine,” the announcement read. 

Peppers is expected to be arraigned on Monday in Quincy District Court in Massachusetts.

The victim involved in the alleged altercation was treated at the scene.

The Patriots released a statement to multiple members of the media on Monday regarding Peppers’ arrest. 

“We are aware of an incident involving Jabrill Peppers over the weekend in which the police are currently investigating. We will have no further comment at this time,” the statement read. 

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo also commented on the situation during an appearance on WEEI 93.7 FM, saying Peppers “called me that morning.”

“I knew what was going on,” Mayo added, per The Boston Herald. “And the NFL, we’ve informed the NFL what was going on and we’re still gathering information.”

Mayo was asked if Peppers remains on the team, to which the first-year head coach responded, “I don’t think anyone knows the facts or anything like that. I mean, it’s a process.” 

Peppers was not available to play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, a game the Patriots lost, 15-10, at home. 

He had been limited at practice with a shoulder injury, and the team ruled him out on Saturday, though it’s unknown if it was because of the ailment or his arrest.

Peppers, a Michigan product who went to the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, is in his third season with the Patriots after spending two years in Cleveland and three with the New York Giants, who played close to where he grew up in East Orange, New Jersey. 

Peppers has 23 combined tackles and two passes defended through four games this season for New England.

At this point, the 2021 Major League Baseball playoffs feel like ancient history.

The Boston Red Sox haven’t been in the postseason for the last three years, and that isn’t supposed to be the norm for such a storied franchise. They advanced all the way to the American League Championship Series that October, leaving few thinking it would be their last trip to the dance for a while.

So much has changed in Boston since 2021 that the playoffs are now something of an exhibition of former Red Sox players. Gone are stars of that team like Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, and Kyle Schwarber, and that’s not even to mention former Boston superstar Mookie Betts, who was gone even sooner.

Schwarber had the shortest tenure with the Red Sox of all the names above, yet his loss may be the most painful during postseason baseball. He’s become an October legend through the years, and he’s already flexed his playoff prowess through two games in 2024.

On Sunday, MassLive insider Sean McAdam lambasted the Red Sox for letting Schwarber walk after that 2021 campaign, when he had one of the best stretches of his career in Boston.

“By now, it’s obvious that the Red Sox made a mistake in not retaining Kyle Schwarber after the 2021 season,” McAdam said.

“At the time, Schwarber was somewhat redundant because of fellow DH J.D. Martinez. But the Sox should have eaten the necessary money needed to trade Martinez and kept Schwarber, who has averaged 44 homers over the last three seasons with the Phillies… He’s also established himself as a dynamic postseason performer, with a .987 OPS.”

Schwarber only played 41 regular-season games for the Red Sox, but his .957 OPS in Boston nevertheless ranks the highest of any single-team mark of the superstar’s career. He also hit three massive home runs for the Red Sox in the playoffs, though he did go 3-for25 in the ALCS against the Houston Astros.

With a leadoff missile against the New York Mets on Saturday, Schwarber moved to fourth all-time on the postseason home run leaderboard. He has hit 21 longballs in his playoff career, eight behind Red Sox icon Manny Ramirez for the all-time lead.

Seeing any former player succeed for another organization will always carry mixed emotions, but there’s a little extra sting when it’s a player with a storied track record such as Schwarber. And it never sounded as though Boston even attempted to pursue the slugger, which makes the loss hurt all the more.
