That’s your perception but the NFL only reacts to public pressure and there isn’t much regarding Watson. It will be interesting to see.

If there wasn’t any pressure at all, then Watson would still be fighting the lawsuits instead of settling. If they give Watson 8 games then you‘re going to have future players accused of less than Watsom saying that they should get less games or none at all.

The latter doesn’t make much sense. Why would someone getting less games for a lesser offense be an issue. That’s literally what should happen lol.

Why the fukk did he take so long to settle this?


Waited for his next contract. That's why he got all that money guaranteed. Cleveland and the NFL knew what was going on here. That's why all if the information on the settlements are disclosed, everybody shuts the fukk up, he takes the year long suspension after settling everything and when training camp starts next year you hear very little about this. shyt was actually smart as hell by EVERYONE involved.

Not sure who all was thinking that would be the case. If the league can suspend you without you actually being charged for anything, why would settling mean you're good? :mjlol:
he already sat out a year though, so that doesnt even count?

:mjlol:

That year doesn't mean shyt, breh. They spent an entire year listing him as "Inactive-Personal", and he still got paid his scheduled salary. If neither he, the team, or the league were willing to call it a punishment when it happened, then they're not able to claim it retroactively.

Breh essentially got a year paid vacation to settle his affairs, and somehow didn't. :yeshrug:

He's getting at least a 24 game suspension

I doubt they'll actual go that far.

They smart play here is to use the indefinite suspension move. For everyone who doesn't follow football and is just following this story, it looks like they hit him with some real shyt. For those that follow the game, we'll recognize that "indefinite" really just means "one full season, as long as you don't fukk some other shyt up before next training camp".

That clause where indefinitely suspended players have to apply for reinstatement is automatic redemption story bait. All Watson has to do is keep it vanilla in his sex life for a year or so, and have some light reading memorized for his interviews he does around his reinstatement to appear contrite, and this is likely the end of it, assuming no other fukkery occurs.
