I don't think it is.
If a high profile employee of any company was accused of what Watson did I am pretty sure they would be summarily fired. Honestly if they were accused of even 1/10 of what he did they probably would be. His behavior is that far out there.
Watson's contract with the Browns was clearly written knowing that he will be suspended for most or all of the 2022 season.

Deshaun Watson contract and salary cap details, including signing bonus, guaranteed salary, dead money, roster bonuses, and contract historyoverthecap.com
His base salary for 2022 is slightly north of 1 mil, while the rest of the years his base salary is $46 mil (all of it guaranteed)
It would be amusing if the Browns were somehow forced to cut him this year as it would cause a $219,972,000 cap hit for 2022, leaving them $177,810,282 OVER the cap!
I'm not saying it was smart to sign him, only that the Browns were clearly expecting him to get suspended this year. Luckily, they still have a very disgruntled Baker Mayfield, which should make for some fun watching!
Caserio should get Executive of the Year for this trade alone! I wonder if they will give it to him?
Of course he will. Why do you hope it’s not true?Excellent take.
Now for the worse news. I heard this morning that one angle that Watson's lawyer will use in his defense is how Bob Kraft was allowed to walk after his incident at Orchards of Asia. I hope that rumor isn't true.
Of course he will. Why do you hope it’s not true?
Yeah they kind of are.Because those two situations aren't really comparable?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's why we are seeing these cases being settled.The NFL could really screw him over by either put him on the commissioner's exempt list or even let him play this year and delay punishment until after the trials. That means he would be suspended without pay when the real money kicks.
That's not the way it went. He offered $100k but only 20 of 24 accepted the offer. He insisted that all 24 settle so he withrew the offer. Now we have the same result w/ probably a bump on the initial offer. The 4 women want to go to trial, where they probably lose now that the other cases are settled.He tried. They all turned down his initial offer.

That's kinda the point I was making....Whatever he pays today is going to be tens of millions dollars less than what it would cost him next year if he let this play out and the NFL doesn't suspend him until after it does even if he won every case.
I'm tired of the Pats being singled out in the media. They'll have a field day.Of course he will. Why do you hope it’s not true?
Kind of? How?Yeah they kind of are.
Sure, but when the SA publicly announced Kraft's indictment in West Palm Beach, he said he was caught up in a human trafficking ring. So there's that.I'm tired of the Pats being singled out in the media. They'll have a field day.
It's not like Kraft was caught with bags of money and drugs in his car and a dead girl in his home.
We can only guess why Watson settled with 20 women instead of taking them to court. My guess is that he's as guilty as sin and has the money to pay for their silence.Why didn't Watson pull a Depp and do a defamation lawsuit to force these women to show some evidence?
We saw what happened with Amber Heard. Boy did she look bad.

Either that or he sees the practical aspect of serving his suspension now instead of next year. There’s a ~$45 million difference in salary on the line.We can only guess why Watson settled with 20 women instead of taking them to court.
