It was reported today that Simpson will be suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season for violating substance abuse policy. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years’ probation following a guilty plea on felony drug charges.

In 16 games for the Bengals in 2011, he caught 50 passes for 725 yards and four touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson could serve jail time despite pleading guilty Thursday to a drug charge as part of an agreement with prosecutors, according to ESPN.

Simpson was indicted with the felony charge after a shipment of marijuana was tracked from California to his home in northern Kentucky.  By pleading guilty, Simpson’s agreement with prosecutors includes a 60-day jail sentence with a work-release provision.   Judge Gregory Bartlett will make a decision April 5.

Last season, Simpson had 50 receptions for 725 yards and four touchdowns.  With the receiver’s four-year contract expired, Simpson will become a free agent on March 13.
