I am guessing he sits this year, and next year they test the water again. If people are indifferent he plays for the Vikings, if not, he gets cut.
Doubt the moral high ground wins this one. However, I guess with the probation he won't be laying a hand on anyone go forward (at least in near term). Even he can't be so stupid as to not know the media will be watching and waiting for his next slip, and that would seal his fate legally and professionally.
So while I am saddened there is no jail time, I think having him productive and distracted from being with his kids and the pressure of being watched all the time maybe helpful.
