Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson reports the league expects the appeal of Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension to result in no less than 12 games.
“I know they’re going for the full year, but I could see doubling the suspension to 12 games and going for the $8 million fine and treatment,” a league source told Wilson. A second source called a year-long suspension for Watson a "slam dunk." Increasing Watson's suspension would potentially set up another legal battle between the NFL and players' union. A decision on the league's appeal on Watson is expected in the coming weeks.
