Deshaun Watson suspension leaks continue to shrink

As we get closer and closer to a decision on Deshaun Watson and his suspension, the leak numbers are becoming smaller and smaller

When it comes to the Deshaun Watson suspension, it seems like there are different leaks and reports that are all coming up with different things every single day. When it comes to reports from big-time reporters like Ian Rapoport and Pro Football Talk, the numbers we see in terms of a possible suspension seem to keep getting lower and lower.

First, it was reported that the NFL was seeking an indefinite suspension of at least a season. Then, it was rumored the NFL offered Watson and the NFLPA a 12-game suspension. Next, the buzz was that judge Sue Robinson was in the range of a 6-8 game suspension.

On Monday, the reports were that if the NFL and Robinson decided to lay the hammer down on the Cleveland Browns quarterback and give him a full year suspension, Watson would seek to take the NFL to federal court and sue them. Now on Tuesday morning, another report has leaked, this one once again a little bit different.

Early Tuesday morning, Pro Football talk reported that Watson and the NFLPA may not need to take the NFL to federal court, as it is now rumored that Robinson’s decision seems to fall in the range of anywhere between 2-8 games.

The NFL doesn’t seem to have a strong case or argument in this back and forth between themselves and the NFLPA. If the leaks are again becoming smaller and smaller numbers, there is no way they are going to get what they want, or anything close to it in this case.

Still, these are all just rumors until Judge Robinson makes her ruling, and we still aren’t clear on when that might be.
