I don't believe the NFL wants to drag this out any further. If they do, the player's union is gonna hold Goodell's feet to the fire over the owners (Robert Kraft, for example) getting off for some pretty disgusting things without consequences from him. That's the reason why I think it may be unlikely the NFL appeals. If that were to happen the NFLPA would sue and this would go to federal court and be drawn out for another 4-6 months and Watson would be playing week 1 and further on until all that is resolved.

Honestly getting only 6 games is a relief for the Browns as they can probably go 4-2 in their first 6 games without him.

NFL is likely to appeal the suspension. If they do a lot of questions and Pandora’s box will be opened
First question that needs to be asked, “why did you even have a judge, some that actually understands law, make a ruling?”

This isn't over yet though. NFL has through Thursday to appeal and if it's appealed all decision-making goes back to Goodell or someone he appoints as designee. Would be interesting to see if Goodell says I don't care about this newly appointed process I'm throwing out the judge's first big case with us and doing it my way. The NFL has said they are going to read and listen to social media and base their decision on what the public wants! Is that stupid or what?

People are also forgetting the judge who made the decision is a woman.

Granted the NFLPA could sue regardless, but they aren’t going to win

Granted the NFLPA could sue regardless, but they aren’t going to win If they appeal and push for 12 you can bet the NFLPA and Watson will still sue and take this to federal court. Not saying they will win but they will sue and take this to federal court and then this drags out for another 3-5 months and Watson is playing week 1 till it's all resolved. Ian Rappaport who is about as big as a reporter as it comes for the NFL next to Schefter said that's the likely next step for the NFLPA and Watson if the NFL chooses to appeal. So, the NFL has to decide do they want this lingering over the season and stuff getting aired out about the owners from the NFLPA sides of thing in federal court.

NFL decided to appeal. Here we go now this will get drawn out more.

The NFL will get what they want Watson is getting suspended 12+ games likely even a year. Watson and the NFLPA taking this to federal court just delays the inevitable. Now that I'm thinking about it the Browns would probably prefer if Watson's side just took the punishment if it ends up being a year and moving on so they don't risk the suspension bleeding into next year.

It’s doubtful a Judge would even agree to an injunction. The NFLPA agreed to CBA. Now if he is suspended indefinitely a judge may have an issue

Now if he is suspended indefinitely a judge may have an issue Yeah the NFLPA has no one to blame but themselves they agreed that if any appeal happens from either side it goes back to goodell or whoever he designees. So, really it's their own fault. They signed a bad deal for the players when it comes to this stuff.

Why even have a judge in the first place? She made her decision and the NFL should respect that, but they have to whine and drag this thing even longer.

It's been two weeks since the NFL appealed judge Sue Robinsons decision and they still haven't announced the suspension on their part. What's taking them so long to announce the year suspension if that's what they want? And don't tell me Peter C Harvey is independent of The NFL & Goodell we all know he is just Goodells puppet in this situation he will do whatever Rodger says.

11 games and 5 million fine Could of been a lot worse. It will be extremely difficult and nearly impossible to make the playoffs with him out 11 games but you want him to have to avoid reinstatement at all cost which they do with this settlement and he gets on the field. If he was suspended the whole year this year it would of been 2.5 years before he took his next regular season snap. Now he needs to stay clean of any trouble. Assuming he does, he is a special talent and will be the best QB the Browns have ever had.

The 5 million dollar fine will go to charity along with 1 million dollars from the NFL and 1 million dollars from the Browns. He is also required to go to therapy/counseling

This whole mess mystifies me, why would an organization want a sex offender as the face of the team and pay an insanely, outrageous amount to get this sicko? The last time I checked, bribing witnesses to avoid criminal prosecution is a felony.

There are rumors out there....I know I know rumors...that the NFL was willing to do an 8 game/10-15mil deal but the NFLPA said no way. I suppose the NFLPA represents the player and not the team I get it I guess.

The NFLPA represents ALL players. They did not want a huge fine precedent being set.
