Deshaun Watson officially suspended for six games

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been suspended six games by Judge Sue Robinson, but the NFL has three days to appeal the decision

After weeks of waiting, the decision is finally in. Judge Sue Robinson announced on Monday morning that Deshaun Watson will be suspended for six games due to accusations of sexual misconduct.

Originally named in 22 allegations of misconduct, Watson saw that number rise to 24 after being traded to the Cleveland Browns.

He settled 20 of them at one time, then shortly after it was announced a decision was coming Monday morning, news broke that three of the remaining four suits have also been settled by Watson’s attorney and the representation for his accusers.

Will there be an appeal on Deshaun Watson suspension?

Also on Sunday night, the NFL Players Association announced that they had no plans to appeal a decision rendered by Judge Robinson.

There’s a belief this was done in an effort to hope the league would follow suit. However, there’s been nothing said on this front and the NFL has three days to appeal the decision.

Should they do so, the decision falls on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, which is an interesting story in itself, but that’s what the league and NFLPA agreed to.

Having said that, there’s also a belief that the league might decide to keep this decision up to Judge Robinson simply due to it being the first case heard under the new arrangement that allows an impartial judge to render a decision.

If the suspension holds up, Watson will make his first appearance as a Brown on the road against the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 23.

He will, however, be allowed to start working out with the team in early October, which is a huge plus for him.
