Interesting. With the NFL appealing DW suspension, they are trying to keep him off the field entirely. The NFLPA didn't appeal the 6 games, and the NFL isn't disputing that either, just that it should be a full year (which includes those six games). Leaves the League open to keeping DW out of preseason, too. It's bad enough having him wear a team uniform and signing autographs, but they really don't want him on a field with the Shield with TV coverage.

wtfWell, poetic would be, uhhh, how to put this...after a sack, the defensive line plays a friendly game of limp bizkit and DeShaun Watson's face is the cracker and he just ****** drowns...that's poetic. The ACL thing is more realistic...

Watson’s probably happy honestly. He wouldnt lose that much money and can still return for the playoffs

they made it with Baker. They can make it with Jimmy G (not sure what the cal situation would be like though)They aren't making it without him
NFL
Apparently his contract tolls if it's over 10 games, which people are taking to mean that if there's a settlement, it'll likely be 10 games. I don't think you get Jimmy G if it's only 10 games.
Another reason people are now expecting a settlement is they don't believe the NFL would allow Watson on the field at all this preseason if the plan was for him to be out all year.

Wouldn't it mean he's out whatever $$$ for the fine immediately, plus he doesn't get paid anything for 2022 (or however that works), and next year he's only booking $1m? That would actually be kinda funny.Apparently his contract tolls if it's over 10 games, which people are taking to mean that if there's a settlement, it'll likely be 10 games.

Almost certainly not, no.
Fine, yes. But when was his signing bonus paid? Guaranteed money is guaranteed money, as a general rule of thumb. I think the contract was designed to protect him with this in mind.
Note: I didn't read the contract and am not an NFL CBA wonk...

I'm just going to by r/nfl. Apparently if the suspension is more than 11 games his contract tolls, which would look like the below tweet. He'd still get his signing bonus. It's difficult finding a solid answer on when the contract tolls though.
BTW, imagine only making $46m in two years.

Torching a guy wearing number 6 isn't a cause for celebration.
