Cause he hasn't been convicted of anything
The World's highest paid Welfare recipient .
My question is, for a guy like him, he could get as many girls as he wants, so what is his hangup?
MORE Allegations For Deshaun Watson | Browns Fans Want Baker Mayfield As Their QB! 24,000 were polled on twitter 68% wanted Baker Mayfield to 32% for Watson
And his wife.
If even half of what is reported is true about Deshaun Watson he deserves a lifetime suspension! He should never represent the NFL again! Especially if the latest reports are true! As rich Eisen said really vile!
Why do you want him to be paid so much? He should be on a 5 year suspension, plain and simple.
For being a liberal Mikey sure hates females……
Dot Not place Watson on Paid Leave Mike, until his pocketbook gets hurt, he has no incentive to settle these cases once and for all.. A Suspension without Pay is the only way to go in his Case in my opinion
Will they put any owners on leave? Right like I thought! Don’t touch them right? You all are blind our in some way racist in my mind double standard all the freaking time
Florio knows nothing. Did he ever play football? What is his function other than left wing schill?
That's how we mean it when we want Super Bowl and eat it at our defense I got to be paying for that waterfall that don't worry about the rest of that we will pay for that Super Bowl.
He should never play again to be honest
Paid leave?…he's been on that for over a year already
How can this man ever play again?

Deshaun Watson shouldn't be rewarded for a criminal act. He could still be charged
Without a legal indictment against Watson the NFL is stuck. If they come down hard, they're hypocrites. If they come down easy, they're callous toward women. The leagues` best bet is to try and facilitate a voluntary paid leave of absence between Watson and the Browns. then put the PR spin machine into overdrive. Not much of a solution, I admit.
These women are just looking to take his money and fame
even some brown fans are alright with him being suspended or gone… give him 2 years
Ban him. Can't allow this type of behavior. Even players should demand it, most of them have wifes, daughters or mothers
Why should he be paid!?!
He is innocent until proven guilty. I think America forgot what that actually means
Mike Florio, I’d try to balance yourself so you don’t fall off your high horse. And I’m so glad you have an exceptional moral compass to help us non thinkers.
NO, DESHAUN WATSON MUST GO! I was a browns fan since the 1950’s and today I’m no longer a browns fan. If the only other game available when the browns are on is Jacksonville vs Detroit I’m watching the lions!
It's clear we are mike Florio stance he has no concept of innocent until proven guilty he's pretty much leading the campaign of smearing Deshaun Watson's name so far nothing has been proven yet this is what the NFL gets for trying to play moral police and caring so much about PR.
Do it, watch the NFLPA publicly drag the owners for their deeds. Moral conduct by the NFL? They have zero grounds to take the moral high ground. SMH
Paid vacation is not a punishment and probably what he wants. Guaranteed 230mil you can sit me all you want. If the Browns are watching this, I will sit on the bench for a lot less.
Let's be perfectly clear what message the Jimmy and Dee Haslam are sending women and young fans of the NFL. The Cleveland Browns are saying no matter how many women come forward a creepy predator who can throw a football should be believed and women should never be believed. The Haslams have made a predator the face of their franchise and paid him a record guaranteed nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. Andrew Berry worried that this predator could be suspended covered Watson's azz by structuring the contract to pay pennies the 1st year so this creep pays absolutely no meaningful penalty. Jimmy Haslam is the same man who led the company Pilot Flying J that committed the greatest rebate fraud in US History, Watson and Haslam should be associates in a jail for life because that's what ordinary folks would get for the exact same behavior.
Andrew Berry is the GM of the Year correct? Say what you will about Baker but he did get the Browns to the playoffs played hurt all year should have never been out there how disloyal of a franchise I'm a Browns fan and we the people do not deserve this Andrew Berry should be fired immediately this is all his fault
Florida has a watson fetish
Fun fact: Rusty Hardin was Jimmy Haslem attorney in that case.
Put him on paid leave until the cases are resolved and then give a suspension according to the outcome. DW could go 3 or more years without playing.
This touchy issue for deshaun has really gotten out of hand. This will rub alot of Browns fan if he can't play this year cause it looks like the league is gonna take a heavy handed approach and hand out a lengthy suspension.
How can you be guilty when the law finds you innocent? Make it make sense
So basically what is he actually in trouble for? I haven't followed. Was he found guilty of something in a court of law? Are these allegations? What? I'm being serious I really haven't followed
Thanks for being fair and at least mention the Robert Kraft situation and I love Kraft
NO pay! Suspended until these cases get resolved. It shows incredible disrespect for ALL women and his poor sisters of color, by both Watson and the virtue signaling neoliberal Ivy League oligarchical FO courtiers. Special shame goes to Andrew Berry, throwing his sisters under the bus AND using and enabling another black man rather than treating him for his addiction.
He should get 24 times the punishment Robert Kraft got for using trafficked Asian happy endings on camera .
Mr lawyer do they have his seman on a towe8 or shirt?
You know like Monica lewisky
They didnt put clinton on paid leave
Or kraft patroits owner
Why paid leave? Unpaid leave is the only t
I don't think it's much of a point at all,.everything was either settled or still being invested. Watson not settling these cases is what's going to cost him.
