has settled all but four of the 24 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct, but the quarterback is seemingly on the brink of unprecedented NFL discipline for his alleged wrongdoing. While two different Texas grand juries have declined to file criminal charges against the former Pro Bowler, Andrei Svechnikov Men Jersey who's publicly sworn innocence in light of accusations from private ma sage therapists, all signs point to the league suspending the QB, po sible for the entire 2022 season or more.NFL executives are recommending to Watson's disciplinary officer, jointly appointed with the NFL Players A sociation, that the new face of the Browns be banned at least one year, . The NFLPA, meanwhile, which previously championed Watson's record contract with Cleveland, is concerned the QB will be suspended indefinitely, .So what does all this mean for Watson and the Browns? What happens under center in Cleveland if Watson is, in fact, sidelined for an entire year? Let's tackle all the pre sing questions:Can Deshaun Watson appeal his suspension?Yes. No matter what Watson's independent disciplinary officer rules, both the NFL and NFLPA will have the right to appeal the decision. The only reason the NFL might appeal is if it deems Watson's expected suspension too lenient (i.e. le s than a full season). Watson's appeal, therefore, would come via the NFLPA, which as the players' union represents the player's interests. Is Watson likely to reduce his suspension by appealing?No. The NFL has le sened its own discipline in high-profile suspensions before. Specific to QBs, the ' saw his 2010 suspension reduced from six games to four after meeting with commi sioner Roger Goodell regarding sexual a sault allegations, and the ' Michael Vick had his 2009 suspension cut from six games to two Patrik Puistola Jersey after his own meeting. The difference is, Roethlisberger, while not criminally charged, faced accusations from two different women, whereas Watson has faced as many as 24 different lawsuits at one time this offseason. Vick, meanwhile, had already served almost two years in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. The NFL is reportedly already pushing for Watson to be severely punished as a result of its investigation into the QB's conduct, and any appeal from either the NFL or NFLPA would be decided by Goodell, or his designated representative. That means the ball is ultimately in the NFL's court.Are there other ways Watson can reduce his suspension?Yes. If the NFLPA appeals an NFL ban and Goodell upholds the suspension, the NFLPA could conceivably sue the NFL alleging unfair discipline in light of the league's seemingly le ser penalties for team owners facing sexual a sault allegations, a la the ' Daniel Snyder. Going to court would not be unprecedented, as the NFLPA also sought to overturn 2014 ban and succe sfully delayed infamous "Deflategate" suspension from 2015 to 2016. It's po sible, should the NFLPA sue the NFL, that Gustav Forsling Jersey Watson would be cleared to play while awaiting a court's ruling on the matter.What's the most likely outcome for Watson?Probably adhering to whatever discipline the NFL imposes. Not because the QB has publicly hinted that "" the findings of NFL investigators, but rather because his historic contract with the Browns is already structured to minimize significant financial lo ses with a 2022 absence. If delaying a lengthy ban is the best-case scenario for Watson (which seems likely), then it stands to reason he and the Browns would rather take the "L" now and not complicate his contract, or his future as a free agent, unle s of course they're that desperate to immediately win games and somehow justify this entire ordeal. What will happen at QB for the Browns?This is the biggest football question of the fallout. Should Watson be sidelined through 2022, the Browns' stated primary fill-in is , signed this offseason to a one-year, $4.65 million deal as the new backup. Cleveland's last No. 2, , went 2-0 in two emergency starts in 2021 but was traded to the . The 29-year-old Bri sett, meanwhile, is 14-23 in his career as a starter, serving primarily as a backup with the , and .Is Jacoby Bri sett any good?Great question, Browns fans! Here's our best answer: yes, as a backup. Bri sett has bounced around some unideal situations, offering serviceable production on short notice, but for a conservative pa ser, he's never been especially accurate, making him best suited for short-term work off the bench. The best thing he has going for him in 2022 is the Browns' supporting cast, which has star power at running back ( , ), wide receiver ( ) and up front, where two starters were Pro Bowlers in 2021. Even with that help, it remains to be seen if Bri sett has the "it" factor to lead more than a wild-card bid.What about ?Don't count on it. Four years after arriving with gusto as the No. 1 overall draft pick, Mayfield has already said multiple public goodbyes to Cleveland, and while he recently for a return while addre sing Watson's likely suspension, the reality is the Browns don't want any further headaches in an already tumultuous QB room. More than that, they don't care to pay Mayfield his guaranteed $18.8 million for 2022, especially with a record $230M Calvin De Haan Jersey already committed to Watson. The most likely scenario for Baker, who had a mercurial four-year run in town, is a summer trade to one of the last remaining teams open to a veteran addition (i.e. the or ). What are the Browns' other QB options in 2022?Bri sett will be there, with a chance at Opening Day QB1 duties, no matter what. A suming Mayfield is gone, the only other Hurricanes Blank Jersey QB on the roster is , the former Steelers backup who's thrown all of 17 career pa ses. It's more likely Cleveland would explore external help to challenge or replace Bri sett. The most intriguing name is , who may have been a last-resort candidate to replace Mayfield had the Watson deal fallen through and Garoppolo not undergone shoulder surgery at the start of the offseason. Jimmy G is more expensive than Mayfield, at $25.5M, but he's very available as the look to begin the era, and more than that, he's a proven winning QB whose familiarity with a run-first offense would make him a logical fit for Kevin Stefanski's offense. As a last-gasp emergency placeholder for a roster ready to compete in 2022, you could do a lot worse. Other veterans who could be available include Eagles backup (a cheap trade option) and unsigned former Panthers star (don't bet on it). Click here Click here Click here |
