Could've just black balled him like Kap when his rookie deal expired. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Watson has been settling most of the cases which IMO says to any women that had sex with him, he is open for business and time to get yours.

Well as a Jets fan, we have no dog in the fight. I think the Browns fans are in for a really bad result. This could destroy that team and players will want to jump ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that makes more sense. I just hope they hit him up with some perv proofing via his contract. Like make him go to an aggressive penis support group, not be alone with any massage therapist without a chaperone armed with a testicle taser and lifelong mandatory visits with a mental health specialist to remember “ No means No”, not “ meh, let me fly in another half dozen.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question, not a pignostication, Article says the NFL wants an indefinite ban with a one year minimum, meaning that he can’t appeal until that first year is up. I don’t think he plays this year. Also interesting is the idea of pushing his entire contract back a year and instead of losing his measly first year salary they would fine him instead, and he’d be another year away from his next free agent payday. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorP Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I don't know what is wrong with that organization. This path and all the baggage was better than trying to work it out with baker?

Almost feel sorry for their fans, but F anyone who isn't us. Won't be in court for long, as we've seen in the past and currently with the Brian Flores matter, all NFL disputes are settled in arbitration. 1 hour ago, Jimmy 2 Times said: Agreed, but I meant between Watson and the league.

Unlike other NFL disputes, it seems like the majority of the public will support the NFL on suspending this a-hole as long as possible. 1 hour ago, The Crusher said: If he gets a year doesn’t he get a chance to appeal it?

Also interesting is the idea of pushing his entire contract back a year and instead of losing his measly first year salary they would fine him instead, and he’d be another year away from his next free agent payday. NFL wants an indefinite ban to make sure nothing else comes up through next spring. The civil statute of limitations is 2 years so, assuming Watson stopped being a sexual predator when the charges first came out (Jan/Feb of 2021?), any new claims will need to be brought by the Spring of 2023. (I know, it's a big assumption I'm making that Watson stopped being a creep when charges were first levied). FYI - criminal statute of limitations is likely longer but criminal charges haven't been supported yet so I would doubt any criminal charges are brought against Watson going forward.
