I've thought about that, but I don't think it's possible considering this was agreed to by both the NFLPA and the NFL.  And the NFL reportedly wanted an entire season at minimum, so I'm thinking this isn't really the kind of suspension he can appeal.

I know tom brady played during an appeal and I vaguely remember those rules changing but I doubt the NFLPA would agree to take the playing in games part away during the appeal process.

I have a feeling this may happen.  No way the Browns essentially lay down and blow a year with him.  This isnt over.  The NFLPA is going to appeal if they can and who knows from there


The new CBA states all appeals go through the commissioner.

Basically, there are no more appeals left.

the league wanted an indefinite suspension

And likely could have had one, had they not agreed to negotiate the penalty with him.

Hell, if not for the public outcry, I wouldn't have been surprised to see them accept the six game recommendation that Robinson handed down. But once the backlash happened, all of a sudden it was "well, we are just appalled at this" 🙄

That's the part I find really stupid, and frankly hypocritical.

Because his first game back will be against the Texan$$$

He should have been suspended longer.

That being said, if Davis Mills continues to improve as he did at the end of last season, that could be an interesting game. 

Also, if Davis Mills becomes a solid qb, the Texans made out like a bandit on this deal.  Got a qb, got rid of a problem child, and got a bunch of good draft picks.

Why the hell did they even go thru the whole charade of hiring that judge or whatever to hand out a discipline, if they were not going to follow what she suggested?  Talk about a gigantic waste of everyones time and money. 


The precedent was 6 games for domestic assault, etc. I wonder if they expected her to hand down something like 6 games per case. So 6 x 4 games. 

Maybe she F’ed up.

Watson would appeal and Roger would reduce that to 1 full year.

Just a guess.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
