Just a laughable effort by the NFL to thread the needle. Good job Goodell.

Wow, the multi-billion dollar assets, the Browns and the NFL, donate a whole $1M. Truly courageous.

gently caress all 3 of them.

Looool

Watson has already made a statement saying he wasn't apologizing for doing anything wrong he was just apologizing for people who were upset. The decision's been as special for like 15 minutes and he's already put that on the record.

So. Let me get this straight. Before the independent arbitrator made her ruling the NFL offered a 12 game suspension. And now, after having him turn that down and now basically having Carte Blanche to unilaterally issue any punishment they want they give him a less severe deal.

That’s not how negotiation is supposed to work.

Lol the NFL had the option to give an indefinite suspension and essentially force him to not say this poo poo, or allow him to take them to court which forces him to behave for legal reasons, but instead they decided the basically give him a sweetheart deal and he immediately started talking poo poo.

Part of the deal is mandated treatment for an issue Watson doesn't believe he has, hopefully there's some language that says they can suspend them again for blowing off appointments.

Someone probably showed them the projected ratings for Browns versus Texans.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I'm reading that 11 game suspension means 6 games played, which is the minimum to have this count as a full contract year. So 2022 will be his $1M salary year, then the Browns are on the hook for whatever stupid high number 2023 was supposed to be when he first signed.

edit: lol they deleted that tweet explaining it, so maybe not?

:laffo: So instead of the guy starting to show a fraction of the contrition he should be he’s willingly reframing it as a “Sorry you woke snowflakes were offended :smuggo:” now that his punishment has been handed down and he’s scot free once it’s concluded?
