Cooper Exempt as DV Charges Loom | Denver Broncos News

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper has been placed on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list after being arrested twice in June and now facing serious domestic violence charges — including a felony for assault by strangulation and multiple misdemeanors for violating a protection order. Though sidelined from play and practice, he’ll still be paid and won’t count against the roster. A key player since being drafted in 2021, Cooper has thrived as a pass rusher and recently signed a lucrative extension — making this legal and league scrutiny especially high. His next court date is Monday, and the NFL’s move leaves room for further action depending on the outcome. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
