The NFL has a clear policy of a six game suspension for domestic violence.  Jacobs has already pleaded no contest to a charge that would seem to fall under the NFL's policy.  Why should this go on any longer?  I sure hope the NFL isn't thinking a suspension of >8 games after they gave an 8 game suspension to James Pearce (aggravated battery with a deadly weapon).

His charge is a misdemeanor and not labeled DV though and that is a problem for the league. That suspension would immediately be appealed and fought by the NFLPA. The league needs a DV conviction or the video or both. They are putting themselves in a very bad spot suspending him without either of those things. 

They are buying time, as far as him getting a paid vacation, they can address that too. They can suspend him and credit the games missed, but he has to forfeit the salary. They can also suspend him, say 12 games, credit the 6, and he has to forfeit the salary + go unpaid for the others.
