The Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson and their fanbase want to move forward into training camp and the 2022 season. The NFL wants to move forward from there over a year-long investigation into improper sexual conduct of Watson.
While it seems like the end is closer than ever, especially since earlier this offseason it seemed it would be delayed until the next offseason, there is still a process that needs to take place.
Once the NFL actually concludes its investigation, it will turn over its findings to the independent arbitrator. Watson’s camp will do the same before the arbitrator, Sue Robinson, rules.
