A decision on the NFL’s investigation into Deshaun Watson has not been announced yet, but according to ProFootballTalk, the NFL Players Association is preparing for an “unprecedented” punishment recommendation for the Browns quarterback.
Watson could face a fine, suspension or nothing at all, but if an unpaid suspension is enacted under the personal conduct policy, ProFootballTalk reports that the NFLPA will “mobilize with an aggressive defense on Watson’s behalf.” This reportedly includes comparisons to how the league has handled the cases of three prominent team owners—the Commanders’ Daniel Snyder, Patriots’ Robert Kraft and Cowboys’ Jerry Jones.
