Hard to think Cleveland do much this season considering Deshaun’s suspension will be longer than the original 6 games + being in a hard division like the AFC North. Good time to be a Texans fan, they might have a handful of top 10 picks (one being top 2)

Yeah seems alot better misses over half the season and actually has to pay a decent fine. I think its perfect middle ground.

Pretty shameful from the NFL to make his return against the Texans. Making sure they dont miss out on the ratings. Shouldn't have expected anything less I suppose.

He was never missing a prime time game against his old team. NFL would never mess with the ratings to punish someone.

Yea I wondered why it was 11 games when I first heard, these longer type of suspensions generally seem to land on an even number, now it makes perfect sense, we wanted to give him 12 but we couldn't bring ourselves to miss out on more money.

I still hate everything about this.
I wish they still had 1-team game pass packages - if I weren’t expecting really exciting things from Philly this season I’d be tempted to sit out a season. The NFL is just gross.

Will be like all the money they give armed services for the old salute to service games and merchandising. Give like 1 mil dollars but rake in 10s of millions.
I imagine once legal fees and admin cost be lucky if half of that money to women is still left.

First game against the Texans. I wonder why that is?

Pathetic by the NFL, should have been at least a full season.

An interesting point made on The Athletic Football Show podcast is that a suspension of 11 games might have been something the NFLPA/Watson’s camp might have been pushing for because it means that he gets to be on an active roster for 6 games - the minimum number required to get an accrued season.
So the return game being the Texans could just be a coincidence, or it could be because of what we all initially thought and be because they want the money…

There’s been a bit on Browns Twitter about this. From what I can gather, 6 games for an accrued season only matters in terms of determining if someone is free agency eligible or not. Which doesn’t matter anymore for Watson as a vested veteran.
Watson would have needed to miss the whole season for his contract to toll…I think. That’s based on my one day of trying to work out the CBA. Maybe I’m wrong, but I also suspect a lot of the reporting is lazy and looking for something else to complain about.
There’s also the 3 game limit for a credited season, which I think is more about minimum salary and super benefits. Again, doesn’t matter for someone on a big contract.

I wore my Browns sweatshirt to the shops today without thinking and felt gross when I caught my reflection. I am ashamed to be a supporter of this franchise because of this disgusting human being.

So now he has to sit out the first half of his comeback game?
