Reports: Deshaun Watson Disciplinary Ruling Expected Monday
July 31, 2022
Per sources, Deshaun Watson and the NFL did engage in further settlement talks in recent days, but neither side felt they got close.
The best Watson’s side indicated it would accept was 6-8 games.
Best league indicated it was willing to do was 12 games + heavy fine $8 mil range).
Interesting that the league was no longer insisting on an indefinite suspension with right to apply for reinstatement after a certain number of games.
But the heavy fine was the tradeoff and Watson/NFLPA balked at it.
Robinson has not hinted at the severity of the punishment after the league launched an investigation that lasted well over a year into the sexual harassment and assault allegations levied against the Browns’ quarterback.
However, there is a feeling within the Cleveland organization that Watson may receive a suspension of four to eight games, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
