Conveniently, the NFL does not "have a comprehensive list" or dataset cataloguing past suspensions (that would make it too easy for people to point out the League's hypocrisies and inconsistencies). However, smarter people than me have put a lot of work into trying to catalogue past NFL suspensions. I leveraged the fantastic work by 538, Brent Schrotenboer at USA Today, and the fine common folk on Wikipedia to create a semi-comprehensive dataset of past NFL suspensions dating as far back as 1925. I restricted my analysis to suspensions after 1978 -- this was kind of arbitrary, but that is when the League introduced the 16 game season and the suspension lengths become easier to compare.
