"This man definitely ain’t f***ing comin back" - NFL Redditors react to potential Deshaun Watson suspension 

Deshaun Watson's legal troubles continue to mount. The former Houston Texans quarterback was put on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List due following accusations of sexual assault. As many as 26 cases were filed against Watson, each by different women, although 20 have since been settled.

With Watson, the Cleveland Browns, and the Texans caught up in this tangled web, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league are under pressure to discipline the involved parties swiftly and harshly.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the NFL is seeking to ban Watson for at least a season.

"[NFL] informed Deshaun Watson, NFLPA, & disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson it was recommending an indefinite suspension for at least the season, sources say. Hearing begins Tues. [WSJ] first to report the indefinite min/yr. ban"

While the term 'indefinite' implies that the suspension could go on forever, one Redditor believes there should be a permanent ban handed down to Watson.

One user said they'd support the NFL if the league went ahead with the suspension.

A Raiders fan noted that other football leagues might quickly get Watson involved if he were to be banned from playing in the NFL again.

A Cowboys fan did not seem confident that the league would give Watson the appropriate punishment.

A Bengals fan believes the NFL will lobby for an indefinite suspension of the Browns quarterback without any intention of keeping him out forever.

One fan pointed out that if the NFL suspends the quarterback, it would mean the league believes he committed a crime.

A Steelers fan noted that Watson is set up just fine financially since the Browns gave him a fully guaranteed extension after trading for him.

A Buccaneers fan believes that a one-year suspension won't be enough.

A Seahawks fan feels the accusations won't stop any time soon and that more women could come forward.

What will the Browns do if the NFL suspends Deshaun Watson?

The Browns may find themselves in a tough situation if the league suspends Watson for a year or longer. They're built for a deep playoff run, so now is not a great time to lose a quarterback.

However, the Browns do still have Baker Mayfield on the roster. The jilted quarterback has stated his desire to leave the team, but the Browns have yet to grant his request.

This could be strategic, as the team might be waiting for the league's decision before making any moves. If Watson is suspended, they would at least have Mayfield to fall back on.

But that would be a long shot. Mayfield wants to leave the team, though he recently indicated that it's not impossible for him to play in Cleveland again.

Whatever happens with Watson, the Browns have a tough road ahead.
