REPORT: NFL is Seeking One-Year Suspension of Deshaun Watson After Appeal

It was announced on Wednesday that the NFL will appeal Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided an update that the league will seeking to sit him down for a full year.

“The NFL is looking for an indefinite suspension,” Schefter said on ESPN’s NFL Live.
