But for civil suits, the standard for getting a jury to award damages is lower. It appears to me that the Texans knew Watson was engaged in egregious behavior and was covering for him to the point where I could see a jury awarding damages. For civil suits, you don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And of course, the Texans may prefer a settlement to a long drawn out trial. |

I knew it was a bad idea giving both those city’s teams.

If Watson is suspended the 2022 season it actually helps save the Browns $45MM in 2023 salary cap, since his contract just shifts a year. They were gonna be way over the cap. Now they’ll be able to re-sign some guys and makes the opt-outs like Chubb and Myles Garret easier to rework. It’s like a ****ed up blessing in disguise.

I believe Watson was paid his signing bonus when he signed. He would be paid $1 million for this season if not suspended. He will be paid pro rata of $1million for each game he plays this year. He gets paid his full 2023 salary per game for each game he is not suspended in 2023. The idea that contracts "shift a year" if a player is suspended by league seems wacky, do you have a good source for your explanation? |

A year suspension makes 2022 a waste of time for them and their fan's. Baker should tell them to shove it up their ass but he's a pussy. He will choose not to lose money but he may just show up and do nothing. Thats his best chance to **** them over.

If I'm the NFL I'm only wanting to suspend Watson for 8-10 games. I think they will want to punish the Browns too, otherwise this could become a trend.

Plus, imagine if he stepped in and kept the Brown in playoff contention. He'd be a ****ing hero while earning himself a much larger contract. |

Maybe or he plays like shit and gets cut anyway. They can't get rid of Watson so either way he's out. Show up and do shit and still get paid his 18. The team doesn't want him and players don't either. None of them have come to his defense at all.
