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.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
