Sue L. Robinson suspended him for six games for alleged sexual misdeeds. He will be able to return from his suspension against his old team in Houston. He has been accused of abusing around 25 women during massage therapy sessions and has settled lawsuits from all but one of them, but he continues to deny and apologize for his actions.
The number of accusers grew so much that the Houston Texans traded them to the Cleveland Indians for a fully guaranteed $225 million contract. He was going to lose a small amount of his $1 million base salary for the next two years. When he makes $46 million per year starting in 2023, the increased fine will be 2% of his contract.
As the league appealed his initial six-game ban for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancers, Roger Goodell called his behavior "egregious" and "predatory" and urged him to sit out the entire season.
The NFL wanted to pursue a season-long suspension forWatson, but he was given an 11-game suspension. Even though the lack of justice brought on by the NFL might be over, his legal troubles with Solis will continue.
His ban is still an unprecedented length even though his detractors think his punishment isn't harsh enough. The Cowboys running back, who was accused of domestic violence, was suspended for six games. Antonio Brown was suspended for eight games in 2020.
