Are the Browns assisting Watson to

It's a short minicamp in early June. He also may not even be cleared to throw all that much.

He’s been fully cleared by doctors

2. NFL wants to hit Deshaun Watson with 'significant' suspension​

After spending more than 15 months investigating Deshaun Watson, it appears the NFL is getting closer to doling out a possible punishment to the Browns quarterback. And it could be a big one.

Here's the latest on Watson's situation, which includes a report from The Washington Post about how long the quarterback's suspension might be.

• NFL wants to hit Watson with lengthy suspension. According to the Post, the NFL is going to argue that Watson deserves a "significant" suspension. So what exactly does significant mean? A person in Watson's camp told the Post that the NFL will likely argue that Watson deserves to be suspended for at least one full season. If Watson's own camp is bracing for that type of suspension, it feels like something that could absolutely happen.
• NFL isn't directly in control of the length of the suspension. The reason the NFL has to argue for a "significant" suspension is because the league isn't in charge of handing out the punishment. Under the old collective bargaining agreement, Roger Goodell was given the power to hand out suspensions, but under the new CBA, that power belongs to a disciplinary officer, who is jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA. In Watson's case, that officer is former U.S. district judge Judge Sue L. Robinson. After Robinson makes a decision on the case, either side will be free to appeal it. If Robinson rules that Watson didn't violate the CBA, then the case is essentially over from a league standpoint and the QB won't be punished.
• The NFL is hoping to have this wrapped up by the end of July. Although it's still not clear when a decision might come, the Post reported that the NFL would like to have the entire process completed, including any potential appeals, by the start of training camp. With the Browns set to kick off training camp on July 27, Watson will likely know if he'll be suspended at some point in the next six weeks.

The NFL has a history of dumping suspensions and other bad news on the Friday before the Fourth of July, so it won't be surprising at all if the league were to make an announcement about the Watson case on July 1. That timeline also makes sense for another reason: If that were to happen, that would give everyone involved plenty of time to appeal the decision before the Browns start training camp.

The key words here are: "at least one full season".

dont think the NFL has the balls to go more than one, but since I dont think he should ever play again. More than one would be righteous.

60 games?

Damn, that would be a lot of GUARANTEED money the Browns will pay Watson to sit at home

NFL and their suspensions for off the field issues: "Not guilty."

NFL = SUSPENDED!

In any event *sits back and munches on popcorn* - Hopefully he gets banned for 60 games cause that's entertainment in my book. ............ wait a minute....

I get it now..... ratings. The suspensions are stupidly handed out for ratings. Duh, Goodell is of course a genius, I should've known all along.

60 games? That's a full Josh Gordon!

You really doubled down on this comment?

QBs don't need minicamps?

This is the 2nd time you've tried to nonchalantly play it off as no big deal. When was the last time BM threw a competitive ball?

Did they make their own draft T-shirts with Haynes multi packs and Sharpies?

I thought it may have been this - NFL isn't directly in control of the length of the suspension.

It's no big deal.

Hey, maybe you can come up with another lie to exaggerate your baseless opinion?
