Lisa Banks, the attorney who represents 40 former Washington Commanders employees, said Wednesday that the NFL’s appeal of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension represents another chance “for them to do the right thing” as she and her clients await the findings of the league’s investigation into team owner Dan Snyder.
The lawyer said she’s closely monitoring the outcome of the appeal, given her interest in how the league will also handle Snyder.
The NFL will now reportedly seek at least a year-long suspension, a monetary fine and treatment for Watson after a former federal judge earlier this week issued a six-game ban to the quarterback for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
