“We Gave Deshaun Watson a Lighter Punishment Than [Colin] Kaepernick”: NFL World Reacts to Cleveland Browns QB Landing an 11 Game Suspension

The Cleveland Browns had some high-tension drama around their brand new QB. Deshaun Watson became subject to scrutiny for his past antics, and the NFL penalized him for violating the league’s sanctity. The initial suspension added more to the fiasco as the NFL called for stricter punishment. However, the NFL Universe responded in the most humorous way possible.

Deshaun Watson will now face a stricter sentence of 11 games after the NFL’s appeal to the initial six-game ban. Watson will pay a $5 million fine, which will proceed to the charity. Moreover, he needs to endure a mandatory behavioral evaluation and adhere to their treatments.

After the updated suspension reports broke out, the NFL Universe placed their funny mode on and mocked the Browns QB and his sentence.

Producer Josiah Johnson mocked Watson’s suspension while comparing it to Colin Kaepernick.

In another tweet, he continued to mock the NFL for handling the suspension.

A Shannon Sharpe parody page shared how QB Deshaun would pay out the $5 Million fine.

A user deemed the ban as a classic Goodell strategy to get Deshaun Watson’s comeback to Houston into prime time.

A user hilariously simulated how the QB’s suspension went from six to eleven games.

PointsBet Sportsbook cannot rule out the coincidence over the suspension period.

Moreover, a user contemplated how the NFL would feel after bravely bumping Deshaun’s suspension period.

This user also cannot rule out the coincidence of Watson playing his debut game against Houston.

The coincidence is something every NFL fan would never overlook. The fans would eagerly wait to see the Browns QB in Houston.

Will Cleveland Browns now bring in a Deshaun Watson replacement?

Jimmy Garoppolo may remain available for a transaction to the Browns. But Deshaun Watson’s official banishment makes any 49ers trade arrangement a little harder to predict. Watson’s absence for the entire season would have made Jimmy Garoppolo a far more appealing prospect to Cleveland. However, the Browns QB will not be out for the whole season.

Despite Mary Kay Cabot‘s reports that Cleveland is considering Garoppolo, the revised suspension duration does not show that the Browns will engage in the move. Cleveland will probably stick with No. 2 QB Jacoby Brissett rather than pay a high price with an 11-week lease for Jimmy G. Will the trade take place? It is subject to witness.
