OT - The Early DeSean Watson Cleveland Browns NFL Suspension Line

[feltdizz]

6 games, same amount Roethlisberger got for 1 accusation. Must be white privilege at work.

its because he sat out all of 2021.

If he didn’t I doubt the suspension is that low.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

6 games, over 1/3 of the season. I think Watson got off easy. He is lucky there is no video or audio of his words is the act of doing what 26 women accuse him of. Scumbag,

If the same accusations had been raised against Roethlisberger, Big Ben would've gotten a 1-year suspension

But nobody ever accused Rog of being fair

that's a crock

he wasn't suspended in 2021, and was getting paid all season long

[Buzz]

No.

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

Looks like you may have known more than many on this board thought you did

Rog had nothing to do with it, these penalties are levied by an independent arbiter. He can, however, step in if he disagrees.

don't see him making it harsher on Watson, but maybe he will give a pleasant surprise

[NorthCoast]

I guess non-violent sex acts are not as bad for the NFL as other sex acts.

[NorthCoast]

6 games!

I wonder if he can/will appeal?

His agent said he would not appeal.

[hawaiiansteel]

I predicted 6-8 games.

not surprised, this "appeases" both sides.

[hawaiiansteel]

His agent said he would not appeal.

wonder if the NFL will?

[SteelBucks]

They got three days to do so. Part of me thinks the NFL just wants this to go away and they won’t appeal.

If he was suspended last year he wouldn’t have been suspended this year.

I still think it helped lower his punishment since he didn’t play. Also may help the Texans since they “punished themselves” by sitting Watson.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I think all sides want this to be over. Look out if it happens again, though.

I'm with you; I think the NFL is ready to move on from this now. I still don't think he should have gotten any punishment considering he missed all of last season. But Watson's team is good with it so all parties should move on.
