NFL 2022: The Fall of the "Immunized" Aaron Rodgers

Any chance Watson still faces a suspension by the league?

 

My opinion is yes. I don't see how he won't get some kind of disciplinary action against him. But we'll see.

How does the NFL face it's female audience, which it is courting heavily, and not take some kind of action?

 

No. He’ll bring full houses to either Atlanta or New Orleans, plus controversy is good for TV ratings. The only question is how is the NFL going to capitalize on this to make more money.

 

At least two players have been suspended without criminal charges.

ROFLisberger was only accused by, what, two women, but never charged. Ezekiel Elliot too.

Some policy when it's enforced this way, huh?

 

Deshaun Watson has chosen the Cleveland Browns. Reports are that he gets a 5-year contract with $230 million fully guaranteed.

Waiting to see details on the haul that Cleveland dealt for him...

And, as an aside, the fact that this "Deshaun Watson Sweepstakes" thing even existed is so icky. How do Browns fans react to this?

Oh, and Watson could absolutely still be suspended by the league.

 

Initial reports say it's three first-round picks and two additional picks. I'm surprised there are no players going to Houston.

 

I wouldn't have guessed Cleveland to pick him up. At least it's done and hopefully the Texans can use those draft choices wisely. Which would be something new for them. LOL

 

The Browns receive: QB Deshaun Watson and a fifth-round pick.

The Texans receive: Three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a fourth-round pick.

 

Matt Millan has been introduced as the new Texans GM and he's going to draft five WR with those picks.

 

Watson is now the face of the Browns, and NOT the Texans. Thank the football gods for that.

 

You got this guy:



And that's not meant as a jab - as a Colts fan, I liked what Mills was showing towards the end of the season. I'm very interested to see if the Texans have something there.

 

The plans from the Texans organization this year (as they've stated in press reports) is to go with Mills this year as the starting QB. If that doesn't work out for them, 2023 is looking to have a much better crop of college QBs coming out than this year anyways. Mills is on a one year audition.

 

Maybe it is this flu that I have talking, but I think I'm seriously done giving the NFL my time and money. There are things that should matter more than winning and profits. The NFL has completely lost any kind of moral compass.

 

Yeah, I was younger and dumber back then...

 

It is really hard to be a sports fan these days.

 

It's being reported that JuJu Smith-Schuster is going to Kansas City for one year, $10.75 million.
