If Roger wants a full year then it's a year. I mean the NFLPA can appeal it back to Roger I guess if they want to waste time.

This whole thing is a mess. NFLPA and Watson can sue the league, potentially getting a stay of the suspension and Deshaun starts Week 1.. although unlikely it is possible.

What I am hearing.. if it goes to the courts NFL and Watson/NFLPA lose control of the timing.. may not be decided until deep into the season.. with Watson & the league in limbo the whole way..

If I'm the Browns I am angling to get Watson & the NFL together to agree on a deal.. maybe 12 games and Watson loses some real money.. that way it's settled.. no uncertainty and forward we go..

If a lawsuit is filed, and if it were to delay part or all of the suspension into next season - that will cost Watson a LOT more money.

Before the ruling on the 6-game suspension to Watson, NFL offered his camp the following deal, per SI:

12-gm suspension and a near-$10M fine.

The $10M fine is the salary amount Watson made last year - that would essentially mean a nearly 2-year suspension

Even if watson got a 1 game suspension, I don't think he'll be the same... just like how when Tiger couldn't play that extra hole.... goes the same with watson.
