Report: Deshaun Watson, NFLPA to Sue NFL If Suspended 1 Year for Alleged Misconduct

The National Football League Players Association has prepared a counter if Deshaun Watson is suspended for one year.

The players union will file a lawsuit in federal court if the league suspends him for a year, according to Charles Robinson.

On the July 6 episode of Keyshawn, JWill & Max, Dan reported that the NFL had proposed an indefinite suspension for the player.

He wasn't interested in signing up for the suspension.

The three-time Pro Bowler should avoid a suspension due to an argument between his representatives and Robinson. A 12-game ban would not be a serious offer.

Under the terms of the most recent collective bargaining agreement, the Commissioner of the National Football League cannot suspend himself on his own. If the player is found to have violated the personal conduct policy, the length of the ban can be changed.

The commissioner has a lot of latitude when it comes to punishment.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the "growing sentiment" around the league is that he will be able to play for the Browns in the middle of the 2022.

After many women came forward with allegations of improper conduct, the NFL has yet to take any action against the player. He was suspended in effect for a single snap in 2021. He didn't play for the Houston Texans in any of their games.

A second Texas grand jury declined to indict the 26 year old on criminal charges. There were 24 civil lawsuits filed against him.

It wouldn't be the first time an athlete tried to fight the outcome of a case at the highest level. Tom Brady lost his appeal of his four-game suspension.
