"What a horrible idea" - Fans roast Mike Florio for suggesting NFL should consider Deshaun Watson sitting out 2021 season as suspension

The Deshaun Watson saga shows no signs of slowing down, The Cleveland Browns quarterback has settled 20 of 24 civil suits filed against him for sexual misconduct and alleged sexual assault. But the NFL is conducting its own investigation into the matter and is expected to hand down a punishment soon.The length of the suspension has been heavily speculated, with some believing that he needs a one-year suspension and others suggesting that six to eight games is sufficient.Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio recently floated another suggestion that did not go down well at all. He suggested that because the quarterback did not play at all in the 2021 season with the Houston Texans, the NFL should treat that as his suspension. Florio added that the quarterback should sit out the first eight games of the coming season as well.ProFootballTalk@ProFootballTalkThe NFL and Deshaun Watson could strike a deal on an agreed suspension at any time. Here's a suggestion: Treat all of 2021 like an unpaid suspension (he'd pay back $10M he made) and sit out the first eight games of 2022 without pay. That would be 25 games. wp.me/pbBqYq-ciZv548113The NFL and Deshaun Watson could strike a deal on an agreed suspension at any time.

His team decided not to play him. He wasn’t suspended. He was free to play anytime if the Texans wanted to put in or had he been traded.

The wait for Judge Sue Robinson’s ruling begins.3008422The disciplinary hearing for #Browns QB Deshaun Watson has ended for the day, which means it has wrapped up after three days. The wait for Judge Sue Robinson’s ruling begins.The league is rumored to be seeking a year-long suspension for the quarterback. Based on reports, the quarterback will definitely miss at least a few games this coming season. The big question mark is how many? The league has done its bit and now it's over to Robinson to deliver what she thinks is a fair punishment.If Watson is suspended for the season, the Browns will be without their star offseason acquisition, severely hampering their Super Bowl chances.
