From George Halmi (@Hammer5726): When and how long will Watson be suspended?
From John May (@juandemayo): Number of games for Deshaun Watson suspension?
George and John—putting a number on it’s difficult. Offhand, I would say an eight-game suspension, but that’s a guess based on history. And I’m also aware of how sensitive the NFL is to public perception in cases like these, and so it’d be naive not to think what’s happened in other leagues, in cases like Trevor Bauer’s two-year suspension from MLB, wouldn’t weigh on the decision-makers here.
