The guy should be gone from the NFL. I believe he is contrite in his apology, but "I'm sorry" is great for a 4 yr. old, not someone who could have permanently maimed or killed someone. "I'm sorry" might get you off criminal prosecution, should Rudolph decline to press charges, but the NFL has bigger issues to consider.
Already facing backlash for stupid PR decisions, like forcing Kaepernick on the teams, Goodell would be well served to come down hard and suspend Garrett permanently, if not for years.
Playing in any professional sports league is not a right, it is a privilege, and when you conduct becomes detrimental to a league, they have the right to can your stupid ass
