Let me clear something up … most of you use Ben’s “crime” as some sort of bar for judging Watson. Wrong!! The specifics of Ben's case make it clear that he probably DID commit the crime. (Not being charged isn’t the threshold). There were witnesses, and Ben himself corroborated some of the specifics. THAT is why Ben, his agent, AND the owner and management of the Steelers AGREED with the suspension. (Which was fair due to not being formally charged). As for Watson… there are NO WITNESSES, and NO ADMISSIONS! Period! So… the NFL has a problem: how to access a punishment without ANY punishable information. If they were to suspend him without a single finding of guilt, his lawsuit would be historic and could bring down the entire “shield”. If a single case judgment is made AGAINST him, the the NFL can do whatever if wants as punishment. Here is a little “Ben” info to support my position.
Several witnesses at the establishments patronized by Roethlisberger told investigators that Joyner was serving as a bodyguard. One witness at Capital City, the nightclub that was the final stop on Roethlisberger’s night out, is an acquaintance of Roethlisberger’s accuser. She said Joyner did not comply with her request for assistance at the time the accuser said the assault took place..
A statement by the Pennsylvania state police said Joyner “exceeded the scope of the employment description” for which he was approved and “in doing so he is alleged to have demeaned the image of the department.”
That sounded like what Goodell told Roethlisberger in his letter.
“In your six years in the N.F.L., you have first thrilled and now disappointed a great many people,” Goodell wrote. “I urge you to take full advantage of this opportunity to get your life and career back on track.”

A. Peterson got a year for spanking his own kid.
So Ben has nothing 2 do with this. I could give you a list of players suspended for games for way less than Sleazeshaun Watson the Cleveland Creeper.

This is the limbo they find themselves in. They can and have likely done some investigating, and likely could suspend on that alone. But the cases are now evidently going to be dragged into 2023. 22 separate cases. If his suspension is a slap on the wrist and it turns out more was warranted how to they again suspend him? If they wait it just hangs over the league and more black eyes. This is a real mess for the Browns and I could not wish it on a more deserving team lol.

Would people think the Browns are SB bound if Kirk Cousins was the Qb instead of Watson???
They are basically the same Qb as far as Stats look good .....Wins do not. Could not every excuse used for Watson....be made for Cousins???? They are both killing it money wise.

LOL, his entire contract is setup for him to be suspended this year and only lose his $1 million dollars in salary.

After the first year his salary goes to $46 million every year.

Maybe they’ll help him out again and restructure the contract, and end up on the hook for $60+ million/year guaranteed against the cap for ‘24-26
