he very well could, especially if it's a year later. imo, I think the Samuel contract was reasonable.Depending on when they decide to pay him, I could see him getting in the Deebo Samuel range.

He deserved the whole season... can't Goodell extend his suspension if he wanted to? Come on Goodell, do the right thing and suspend him the full season.6 game suspension for Watson. His Browns debut will now be October 23rd at M&T Bank Stadium.
Only if he was smoking weed during the massage or bet on a happy endingHe deserved the whole season... can't Goodell extend his suspension if he wanted to? Come on Goodell, do the right thing and suspend him the full season.
If he wants to, sure. Would probably make him look much worse though, considering the whole idea of an independent judge overseeing the punishment phase like this is exactly what the public wanted. So it seems ironic that now they want Roger to just arbitrarily hand down the punishment himself.He deserved the whole season... can't Goodell extend his suspension if he wanted to?

7 years ago... the NFL had a video talking about ending abuse on Women. What a joke the ruling was today.
100% agreeYeah, don’t be ascared. lol
Really may be better anyway to play him his first game back. Beat them real good, set the tone.

I posted this in response to somebody on Twitter... doesn't the public look like just a big bag of hypocritical douches if they spent all these years complaining about how the NFL has no independent punishment review process, and how Goodell shouldn't be allowed to handle this stuff on his own? And now that they actually have one, people are just deciding now they want Roger to step in, all because the outcome wasn't what the public wanted?It seems like most people expect the NFL to appeal the decision. It would just look bad for them to do it after going through an independent investigation and hiring Robinson anyway. It's worth noting, however, that Robinson's decision was not focused on Watson's conduct (she didn't dispute the league's factual findings) and more focused on how a full year suspension isn't provided for in any NFL policies and suspension history (Violent sexual assaults are still only minimum 6 game suspensions - the longest ever was 10 games, which got reduced to 4). If the NFL wants to be serious about these issues going forward, they could try to change the policy (if the NFLPA is willing to negotiate) and probably make it more fair.

Feels like the public is just doing what they always do... arbitrarily assigning a "conjured out of thin air" punishment in an attempt to act as the morality police, rather than "staying in their lane" or actually using the one power they have, which is the power of action?
I'm not sure I want the NFL deviating from the policy it has for this, just because the general public arbitrarily decides it wants to be mad for a few days. The general public is no more or less qualified to make decisions or rulings on these cases than this judge is or even than Goodell is.
I think the issue is that the judge used a league precedent for the suspension which really doesn’t look like an independent decision. It seems like the court of public opinion will force Goodell’s hand and they will appeal.I posted this in response to somebody on Twitter... doesn't the public look like just a big bag of hypocritical douches if they spent all these years complaining about how the NFL has no independent punishment review process, and how Goodell shouldn't be allowed to handle this stuff on his own?

I mean... that's how any independent review is going to handle it. Do you really want an independent review to be handing out completely arbitrary and subjective punishments based on their personal feelings of the situation, or even worse, based on how the public will react for a few days and then stop caring?I think the issue is that the judge used a league precedent for the suspension which really doesn’t look like an independent decision. It seems like the court of public opinion will force Goodell’s hand and they will appeal.
