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.
