NFL Seeks Minimum One Year Ban for Watson

Tomorrow, the NFL is set to convene a disciplinary hearing which will determine the length and severity of punishment for former Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. At this hearing, the NFL is expected, as learned by the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal on Saturday, to seek an indefinite suspension of at least one full year for Watson as punishment for his involvement in the alleged sexual assault and misconduct of 24 massage therapists.

Per Schefter, the NFL intends to argue for a “lengthy” suspension during the hearing. The league intends to cite testimony from some of Watson’s accusers, per the report.
