Better than the original punishment, but still not enough. Dude should be in prison.

Maybe once they get all that Amazon money the NFL will build their own prison.

I thought the whole holdup was that they didn't want him on the field vs the Texans! What a slap in the face to the numerous victims in the Houston area. The NFL should be ashamed of themselves. They had every right and the power to suspend him at minimum 12 games if not the whole season as they had anticipated

The NFL had a choice between hitting Watson hard and then having the NFLPA challenge the lawfulness of his new disciplinary process (as they had threatened) or find a settlement and protect the process that Goodell and his client journalists have told us is wonderful and out of the reach of the courts. 

 

They did what they always do. They took the self intrested route and found a settlement. It sucks but I am not surprised.

 

11 games is also enough the story will die down enough to not be what it is now sadly.

Yes everyone! Please remember what is important here!

2nd chance?? 24 women he did this to. 24!!! That's 24 second chances Jim & yet he kept doing it. & He's sorry? Sorry is for accidents, can't be sorry & turn around to do it to someone else. 11 games is less than a half a game a suspension for each woman he victimized. & $5mill? At least we know how much Jim Haslam, the Browns, the NFLPA & the NFL "value" women. Disgusting.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I mean he should be in jail or at the least out of the league.

 

But selfishly I love that he's out when the Bills play the Browns 

[Bangarang]

This is such a bad look for the Browns and the league.

24 sued him, some didn't, he also saw at least 60 therapists.

The NFL has really set itself up for failure on this one. I can't even imagine the headlines leading up to Deshaun Watson's first game back IN HOUSTON. He could have come back the following week and it would have been so much less of a circus. The only positive is the amount of boos he's going to hear from the fans after he sexually assaulted half of the city and then refused to play for their team for a whole season

You have to believe there's probably other massage therapists who just didn't want to be a part of this suit....it's just 24 who did.

At least 24.  Bearing in mind there are several who have come forward who did not join the lawsuits.

 

He's being fined $455k per game.  That's like 1% of his AAV or 1% of his signing bonus, 10% of one year's AAV

 

Slap on the dingus

It is more than 24 some of the ones that were part of the grand jury thing weren't suing.

Well, the first game he's back, I hope someone hands out cue cards to the fans.
