Still it's a slap on the wrist. He'll lose a minimal amount of money-his contract. They'll probably put his return on prime time tv.
Both sides save face in this Kabuki theater.
that’ll learn him...
Tom Brady got four games for deflating balls as a comparison.
In my opinion, every one was consensual, but money mattered more to those women than ruining someone’s career and reputation.
Is this the “happy ending” for the drama ..........
“He’ll lose a minimal amount of money-his contract.”
Part of his $1 million salary. Rest of $270 million untouched.
Nobody is comparing this with OJ or Vick. The only comparison can be with Trevor Bauer. He got two years suspension for one woman’s accusation. Watson gets less than a half a year for the accusations of 26 (possibly 66) women.
Don’t ever say this is fair. This is 2022.
Maybe they could get Johnny Manziel to sober up for a few weeks to take Watson's snaps....
Well, the media and fans treat these game playing guys like immortal gods, sacrificing to them money and time, and giving undying adoration.
What could go wrong?
Re: Not costing him much.
Remember the NFL paychecks are paid by taking their annual salary and dividing g it by the games played. So if you cut six games he is losing about 1/3 of his salary, and I imagine any of his incentives are shot as well.
I am not making a comment on his behavior, but I am pretty sure that kind of a loss in income would put a dent in anyone’s day.
First game back against the Ravens on 10/23. First home game is Halloween night, a Monday night game against the Bengals.
Not even a single game for the dozens of victims while he collects on his hundreds of millions in guaranteed money. I can’t think of anyone who has been more protected than this creep
Yeah he’s really taking a hit 🙄
Deshaun Watson signed a five year, $230 million contract with the Browns after trading for him. The contract is fully guaranteed and includes a $44.965 million signing bonus, and includes a no-trade clause through the entire contract

Yep, a compromise driven by money, like everything else in the NFL.
This is a scam. Players have been suspended this long for much less.
Yet Biden gets nothing...
Some people call him the space cowboy.....
Some call him the gangster of love....
