WATCH: NFL and NFLPA agree to 11-game Deshaun Watson suspension, historic $5m fine

Mar. 25, 2023 – 25:38 – Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns can now move forward with their plans for the season without hesitation after the NFL and the players association came to an agreement on an 11-game ban for the embattled quarterback and handed down the biggest fine in league history. Earlier this month, the league announced that they would appeal the ruling handed down by Judge Sue L. Robinson of a six-game suspension for the three-time Pro Bowler. In the July hearings between the league and lawyers for Watson, the NFL reportedly was in search of a year-long suspension. With the league having the ability to appoint the arbitrator to oversee this final hearing on the dispute, things did not look good for Cleveland and their signal-caller.
