NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appealed Deshaun Watson’s six-game ban on Wednesday and is seeking a suspension of at least one year, a source told the New York Daily News.
Legal experts also believe Goodell, or an appointee, could levy a stiff fine on top of that.
Judge Sue L. Robinson’s six-game Monday ruling fell way short of the “unprecedented” punishment the league was seeking for a “pattern of conduct ... more egregious than any before reviewed by the NFL,” as Robinson described Watson’s rampant alleged sexual assaults.
