re: Why does the NFL care if players smoke weed?

How is the NFL going to handle it when guys who play for the Broncos or Seahawks test positive for weed?

They'll follow the mutually agreed upon process in the CBA. Which could mean the player gets suspended for a certain number of games or even indefinitely suspended (basically a year but considered open-ended).

I'm sure that if marijuana is legalized on the federal level, then the players can negotiate the next CBA to allow it's use. Until that time, the NFL will follow the government's lead since they give them an anti-trust exemption.
