Thought I Heard something about this might cost him money, but not sure...
The big part of his contract doesn’t kick in until next season so he saves money by serving it this year.

I would just say an anti-competency agenda. Its crazy how much that money that guy makes for as many times as he trips over his dick.
It’s important to remember here that in the big picture, Roger Goodell isn’t the villain in the story. The villain is the man who committed all the sexual assaults.

it is weird- its just so freaking weird. The whole thing is just so poorly done. You make up the definitions and punishments as you go and appeal to yourself. It is the same old sham its always been- Roger Goodell judge, jury and executioner, not making decisions on evidence but on public opinion.
Well, in the report Robinson said that the NFL proved that Watson was in violation of the code of conduct.

Have to think the players got something monetarily by agreeing to this. Owners wanted power and not money.
Or the NFLPA is the weakest of all the player’s unions in pro sports. They habitually get steamrolled.

It'll be interesting to see what Goodell does. If he tries to make it a whole season, he is likely just going to drag it out even longer.

I don't recall seeing that Watson was being fined.

A good way for him to resolve it may be to add a couple of games to his suspension and tack on a big fine so that financially it is equivalent to a full season.

Jeff Darlington reporting the NFL is seeking an indefinite suspension....with a minimum of 1 year.

Likely was perfectly fine according to the CBA to never offer Kaep a job....yet he got paid. doesn't mean Watson can win if he takes it to court but the notion he has no chance seems a little out there.

I think it's more the NFLPA suing the NFL and it will be more broad than Watson

An indefinite suspension is ridiculous. And again I will refer back to my point...how the hell does the NFL allow a trade involving Deshaun Watson to occur if there was even a hint of them going for an indefinite suspension?

All of this stuff was public knowledge WELL before the trade
