They don't have to suspend him right now. Houston isn't playing him. So the NFL can save face with the players union and allow its own version of due process without actually doing anything. 

If he gets traded and it looks like for half a second that he will suit up and play AND there will be some negative PR, his ass will be on the list or he'll be suspended. The NFL is a brand and it will be protected at all costs. It's just business and we've all seen Roger will do what's best for the shield, all else be damned.

He won’t be suspended. He’s playing the second he lands in Carolina.

The NFL can do whatever TF it wants to do. It prints money. The NFL is the judge, jury, and executioner.

And Watson will help the NFL get money if he plays. 

the NFL doesn't give a poo about Watson.  It still chews guys like him up and spits them out with ease.  They aren't hurting without him playing.

Could be. But if all of a sudden an advocacy group starts making a lot of noise about the claims and it gets some steam and goes viral, he's not going to be playing. That's what makes trading for him so risky. Public opinion is the only court that matters in cases like this.

The NFL needs Watson more than Watson needs the NFL. The NFL can’t even let guys like Randy Gregory, Kareem Hunt, Josh Gordon, and Richard Sherman go. That’s just a couple names.

The NFL doesn't care if those guys ever play a snap again.

They haven't needed to do anything because he's content to stay away and the Texans are content to let him. The commissioner's exempt list was pretty much created for situations just like this so that the NFL doesn't have to wait for the legal process to play out before they take action. It's on the CBA. The NFLPA later took it to arbitration and lost. The exempt list is definitely her to stay at least until the next CBA is negotiated.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
