I have a feeling from Goodell's statements that this deal won't get off the table. It might have if he had been willing to deal weeks ago but not now. With his GTD salary of $230,000,000 that $5 million fine is not nearly enough
They're willing to completely change their stance on punishment a day after "Egregious" and "predatory".
It has been reported that the league wanted a min of 12 games so Watson would not be on the field for Cleveland at Texans week 12. The league will not budge on Watson NOT being on the field in Houston. Apparently they do not want the spectacle, the attention or the potential impact on the victims being hounded by the press leading up to the game. The league will not budge off this stance, so Watson's camps offer of 8 games is friggin ignorant because they know Goodell's stance on the matter.
