Is Roger Goodell Holding Back Deshaun Watson From Playing? NFL Journalist Breaks Down Bizarre Scenario

The situation with Deshaun Watson isn’t getting resolved. He has settled the claims that were against him, but a possible suspension from the league awaits him.

The Cleveland Browns traded for him and handed him a very big catch. Moreover, the Browns spoiled their relationship with Baker Mayfield. As a result, if Watson is suspended for a long time, the team might be in trouble.

Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk broke down a possible scenario where league commissioner Roger Goodell might hand Watson a lengthy suspension.

He wrote, “I suspect Roger Goodell wants to make the Browns regret trading for Deshaun Watson and giving him the big new contract. Watson will get a long suspension in part to dissuade other teams from trading for players under investigation and giving them lucrative contract extensions.”

As stated by him, the Cleveland Browns might face a huge problem going into the next season. Watson’s suspension would mean another wasted season for their talented team.

The team has already gone through multiple problems that have kept them from achieving success. Earlier, it was the whole Odell Beckham Jr. and Baker Mayfield saga, where the franchise supported their quarterback and released OBJ.

What will happen to the Browns if Deshaun Watson is suspended for the whole season?

As stated above things could get quite messy if Deshaun Watson is suspended for the whole season. Watson’s absence will leave them without a reliable quarterback to guide the team.

Due to their acquisition of Watson, Baker Mayfield is unlikely to play another game for the franchise. It will be regardless of the suspension faced by the former Texans’ quarterback. As a result, the Browns will either stick with their backup quarterbacks or try to get someone else for a year.

Watson’s suspension decision could be made public soon. The Cleveland Browns franchise and their fans can only hope for the best. It’s likely that Deshaun Watson will miss several games, if not the entire next season.
