Citing unnamed sources, Graziano reports that the NFL and NFL Players Association engaged in settlement talks in recent days. The NFLPA, working with Watson’s camp, wasn’t willing to accept more than 6-8 games. The league would agree to 12 games plus a fine in the range of $8 million.

I'm guessing they know what the punishment is going to be, and are fine with it. And they put it out there BEFORE it is announced that they would stand by the decision (that they somehow found out early) and put it on the NFL to stand by the judge's decision too (knowing that the NFL is going to not be happy with the decision). Just my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob806 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I was hoping for 0-4, at least it's not a season. Now we'll see how good the coaching staff really is. I hope Brissett is better than I think he is. #woof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Judge looked at the same evidence the grand juries did. I haven't seen anyone else person posting on this forum who's been on a grand jury. Not hard to figure out why people rolled right over the determinations of the grand juries -- it slapped down the narrative they were trying to project into reality. This whole thing was the modern-day equivalent of calling DW a witch. We get it, you don't like him. Great, so don't buy his jersey. Go Browns!

BernieSuperBowl2 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hopefully Watson appeals and gets it reduced another two games down to four games. Complete and total garbage that Watson is getting railroaded like this, but the NFL is trying to protect their image. TWO grand juries would not indict him because there is not one shred of proof of any wrong doing. People are simply using group think to reach the conclusion that "Twenty-six is too many!!!!". Then why didn't TWO grand juries think so? Especially in Texas where they have express lanes to convict people. Bull. Crap. But moving forward to the season, if Jacoby can get us to 3-3 then Watson will be in good shape to take over and get us to the playoffs. Here we go Brownies, here we go!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm just glad it's over.. In the end.. I just want the Browns to win... Yeah... I still think his behavior is unsavory. I'm glad the judge demanded he do his therapy in club facilities... If he needs to get his ya ya's off... He can find a chicken ranch in Nevada that'll cater to his needs... If he would've done things in house he may not have been in this predicament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Lord I can't believe people still aren't getting it. Two grand juries would not indict him because he did nothing ILLEGAL, not that he didn't do anything wrong. From the NFL personal conduct policy: Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. We are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the NFL, and is lawful.

mjp28 Posted August 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hallelujah ! Time to gather everything up and move on. No 8 games, no 1 year, it's still recoverable kind of like an injury only without the pain and actual rehab stiff. OK he's still an a****** that will wear off...... eventually ! Six regular season games would be play (assuming the backups aren't 6-0 or 5-1, lol) would be : Week 7. At Baltimore 1 pm. On CBS with Brent Mussberger.......well maybe not Brent he's 83 and I assume still retired. Time to make the plans to get this season out of the mud and move on ! GO BROWNS.....baby, are you ready for some football ? Hell yes. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SdBacker80 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Someone hug Charlie Weiss (if you can get your arms around him). I haven’t seen or heard him this upset since powerhouse U Kansas let him go. He spent the greater part of 45 minutes on NFL radio whining away. Him and his parter just gave their representation of the facts. he’s upset too for teams like the Ravens and Bengals that need to give their QB Guaranteed money now. Outrageous if you ask me. Tee Higgins may not be a Bengal in a couple years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with you about the 'group think' issue, with all due respect, you and others are conflating the US legal system's standards with the NFL Conduct Policy standards. In a standard legal proceeding, federal and state law are the basis for making decisions. So the fact that he is criminally innocent doesn't mean he didn't violate the NFL Conduct Policy. In the Watson case and any other suspension case, it's the NFL Conduct Policy that provides the standard in which decisions are made, and that goes above and beyond what's legal . Now that there is an independent judge making the interpretation and not the NFL, we can expect these rulings to be be more consistent and fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are coming into September with continuity on the coaching side 3 straight years staff in tact that most others teams don’t have. So I expect us to be sharper out of the gate. Our toughest game is the Chargers. You still run right at them and avoid 3rd and longs and hopefully our defense covers their WRs that game. The Pats game…hopefully we find our man card and we get a little redemption from last year when a rookie QB schooled us. Fact here: Brissett is 2-1 against the Pats. Steelers game will be ugly 13-10 type game winnable for sure. This is an ugly defense special teams game. catching the Jets and their young roster at probably a great time. We know Baker…we spent four years game-planning to mitigate his weaknesses. The Falcons are playing for CJ Stroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of "integrity" don't you understand? Not only did he do all the 66? women thing, he LIED to the Browns, to the public..... He was not railroaded, he deserved to be suspended for the lies, and the whole bunch of crap he put on himself, the Browns and the NFL. He lost his integrity hugely, and the browns are the laughingstock of the NFL. But there are a lot of terrific players with CHARACTER and INTEGRITY on the browns - they deserve to win. I actually hope they do win, except for the first game of course, with Baker starting, lol, and then I hope they lose every game watson plays in. Just call it "poetic justice". 6 games - is a lot of meney, a lot of playing time lost. Fair enough punishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to root for Baker? Become a Carolina Panthers fan. Again, you and everyone who participates in group think to convict on quantity are part of the #MeToo crap. Six games isn't a lot of money when the Browns are only paying him $1 million this year. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
