They don't have to suspend him right now. Houston isn't playing him. So the NFL can save face with the players union and allow its own version of due process without actually doing anything. 

If he gets traded and it looks like for half a second that he will suit up and play AND there will be some negative PR, his ass will be on the list or he'll be suspended. The NFL is a brand and it will be protected at all costs. It's just business and we've all seen Roger will do what's best for the shield, all else be damned.

He won’t be suspended. He’s playing the second he lands in Carolina.

The NFL can do whatever TF it wants to do. It prints money. The NFL is the judge, jury, and executioner.

And Watson will help the NFL get money if he plays. 

the NFL doesn't give a poo about Watson.  It still chews guys like him up and spits them out with ease.  They aren't hurting without him playing.

Could be. But if all of a sudden an advocacy group starts making a lot of noise about the claims and it gets some steam and goes viral, he's not going to be playing. That's what makes trading for him so risky. Public opinion is the only court that matters in cases like this.

The NFL needs Watson more than Watson needs the NFL. The NFL can’t even let guys like Randy Gregory, Kareem Hunt, Josh Gordon, and Richard Sherman go. That’s just a couple names.

The NFL doesn't care if those guys ever play a snap again.

They haven't needed to do anything because he's content to stay away and the Texans are content to let him. The commissioner's exempt list was pretty much created for situations just like this so that the NFL doesn't have to wait for the legal process to play out before they take action. It's on the CBA. The NFLPA later took it to arbitration and lost. The exempt list is definitely her to stay at least until the next CBA is negotiated.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
