Really feels like the hammer is going to come down on Watson between the sheer number of accusers, lack of remorse, owners bitching about the contract structure, spitting in the NFL's face not accepting the 12 games, among more things.

Like I said before, It would be pretty sick if they handed out a 2 year or indefinite suspension.

How I see this going, potentially.

- NFL/Harvey level the suspension at one year. Justification is, the original arbitrator ruled on four cases only whereas the NFL is taking into account the remainder of the cases. Settled cases do not indicate innocence or guilt, but the number of accusers filing suit is considered in the decision.

- Watson and attorney go to court to contest the decision. This would likely last the entire NFL season.

- Goodell places Watson on the exempt list.

Question is, would a court injunction overrule the commissioner's exempt list? 

Edited to add...

Have to wonder if Houston is going to be handed a pretty massive fine (including the loss of draft picks) for their actions. I don't think Cleveland has done enough to warrant a fine against them, unless you can fine a team for utter stupidity.

I know there was BS with him sitting out allll last year, but the NFL again shows how much of a joke they are. This comes close to giving Ray Rice 2 games before the video came out with him craveman dragging his KO'd wife. I wish I wasnt a all-in panther fan.

The NFL doesn't control his suspension. They called for indefinite suspension but because he is not an NFL employee, they are unable to do much of anything. His 6 game suspension was based on precedent.

Highly suggest reading up on how law works because this process is very similar.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
