- Quarterback settled civil cases over alleged sexual misconduct
- Browns player given six-game ban by independent adjudicator
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he feels the league needed to keep pushing for a year-long suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson because of his “egregious” and “predatory behavior” toward women.
Speaking at the owners’ meetings on Tuesday, Goodell addressed the league’s decision to appeal a six-game suspension given to Watson by Sue L Robinson, a former federal judge appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association as an independent league disciplinary officer.
