They're going to let him off easy, guaranteed. The NFL is a very close-knit entity and the owners have each other's backs. They need to because you never know what's coming next to their own team and would need other owners to rally around them. It is a real shame if this perv gets off easily with just a 6 game suspension.
If they weren't, his attorney would not be preparing us for a soft landing with rationale like the Johny Depp comparisons...the whole saga stinks to high heavens.

Did we raise enough money to put our bids in? Or do we need to start another go fund me to buy the Broncos? @Dom McRaven @RavensMania

Well it obviously shouldn't be the NFL's job to be the morality police for our society. They already promote organized violence on a daily basis. That's what football is.
Reality is there's no punishment "harsh" enough, short of a lifetime ban, that will appease people. If you think what he did is totally outrageous, a 1-2 year suspension won't be enough.
If you're like most who simply won't care, it doesn't matter what the length of the suspension is.
My guess is he's get suspended for a year, perhaps appealed down to like 12 games or something, and then everybody moves on.
maybe if we bring @lost back into the fold we could raise enough money.

Big $$
guess we missed out
The fact that we got Hollywood brown before Deebo, DK, Terry, and Aj brown in the 19 draft is so painful

1. Wagner is on a year-to-year contract basically. He only got $10M guaranteed. He'll probably be there for one, maybe two years, of that deal.
2. Robinson's is basically a two year, $30.75M deal, and has two void years on the back-end.
3. Donald's deal is effectively two years of guarantees. He'll be year-to-year after that.
So basically all three of those players could be gone by 2024.
Kupp's deal almost certainly won't start getting expensive until then.
hindsight is 2020. That being said, Hollywood played extremely well in our system and was one of the better receivers in the league until Lamar went down.
yep, all about the structure of the deal

Update: The Maryland Governor chimed in. So Snyder literally tried to pit the entire DMV area against one another to get a new stadium built and all three declined. Guess it's time for the London Commanders? St. Louis Commanders? San Diego Commanders?

This shit is going to derail the entire league if they are not careful in how they deal with his shit. What bothers me is they were unanimous in the Ray Rice saga (I didn't disagree with the decision at the time), but considering their pussy footing around this serial sexual deviant bothers me. They need to be swift and punitive in the punishment they mete out to Watson.

The league pussy-footed around on Ray Rice until they got the video. The video changed everything. Doesn't make sense why, but that's how the public reacts.
Find a video of Watson shooting his load on an un-wanting masseuses back, and I guarantee they act faster.

Houston Police Detective testifies that she believes Watson committed a crime and was surprised there was no criminal charges. Yes.. there is a funny irony in her last name being Baker lol.
Police detective testifies she believed Deshaun Watson committed crimes
A Houston detective testified in a deposition about the police investigation of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.
