OT - The Early DeSean Watson Cleveland Browns NFL Suspension Line

[NorthCoast]

maybe this is why his salary is fully guaranteed… lol.

but I bet this is about speeding things up so he is misses games when he is making $1 mill vs 40 mill next year.

That part p)sses me off to no end.....

There was talk that the NFL would chill on a suspension this season and wait for all the court proceedings to end. Then slap him next season with the suspension. His agent/lawyer is doing a work-around on that.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson settled all but four of the 24 lawsuits against him, according to attorney Tony Buzbee on Tuesday, June 21.

Maybe, but I wonder if money trumps everything in this case.

Browns on the hook for a lot, 3rd game of the year is the Browns hosting the Steelers on Amazon Prime. I'm sure Bezos wouldn't be happy about Jacoby Brissett headlining his new NFL platform.

Enough money can make this all go away.

All they wanted was money; which is why the charges filed were civil. Prostitutes who found a way to get an even bigger payday.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson's hearing before disciplinary officer will begin Tuesday

Jun 25, 2022

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's hearing before disciplinary officer Sue Robinson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association, begins on Tuesday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday.

Watson is facing potential discipline from the NFL, which is independently investigating whether he violated the league's personal-conduct policy after Watson was accused of sexual assault and misconduct during massage sessions.

Pelissero added Sunday that the NFL is expected to argue for indefinite suspension of at least one year, and then Watson could apply for reinstatement following the 2022 season. Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, and the NFLPA's lawyer are expected to argue that neither the alleged violations against Watson nor the precedent of past suspensions handed down by the league support a suspension of that length.
There is no specific timeline on Robinson making her ruling, according to Pelissero, but all parties expect a decision to come before training camp, which begins for Browns veterans on July 26.

In the case either side appeals the initial disciplinary decision, that appeal will be handled by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee, per Pelissero. The subsequent ruling would then be final.

Think the Roe decision MIGHT affect Roger's decision just a teeny smidge?

Bawb, you’ve been cracking me up since you’ve joined. You got a crazy sense of humor.

Thanks so much, Bro Maniac. It's not to everyone's taste and it MIGHT not be from advanced senility either.

[hawaiiansteel]

No.

If you know what I know about the case, it's unlikely to be more than 6 games.

because you know things about this case that others don't...

[Prowler]

I think Goodell sticks it to the Steelers and gives Watson a 4 game suspension. Watson will appeal and get a game knocked off. Guess who his first start will be against in this situation?

Don't have to guess, it would be the Falcons.

No, I don't even know why you'd bring it up, even in a joking manner. What's one have to do with the other?

US women are part of the NFL cash flow and they're pissed off now about SCOTUS and Roe. I'd even suggest Roger gets his humongous salary to keep his eye on "totally unrelated stuff" like this:

The Browns, in epic fashion, traded away 3 1st round picks and spent 230 million dollars....
To end up with Jacoby Brissett as their starting QB.

Almost sad. Age 10, my dad took me to a Browns exhibition game in LA. Paul Brown was HC. Cleveland had 2 Black players: FB Marion Motley and LB Bill Willis v. the LA Dons of the prehistoric All American Football Conference. A few years later they were absorbed into the NFL

Mayfield should offer to come back for a fully guaranteed three year extension. I'd say $30M per year

Screw the Browns ashard as he can
