Bowles: Jets' disciplinary process 'is fine' despite recent player arrests

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles is defending his team's handling of player arrests in the wake of rookie tight end Christopher Herndon IV's DWI charge over the weekend.

Despite it marking the sixth arrest of a Jets player in the past 13 months, Bowles believes the team is handling its business the right way.

"Our disciplinary process is fine," Bowles said, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "There's nothing wrong with our disciplinary process. The arrests are going to happen. We deal with them as they come."

And come they have. Linebacker Dylan Donahue has two pending drunken-driving cases, wide receiver Robby Anderson has been arrested twice, and cornerback Rashard Robinson is subject to a charge of marijuana possession.

However, Bowles is putting the onus on the players to correct their own behavior.

"There's nothing wrong with our policy right now," he said. "If you sign a contract and everything else, and you're making 10, 20, 30 million (dollars), if that doesn't stop you, what else is going to stop you?"
