NFL appeals Watson suspension

August 3, 2022

Former NJ AG to hear Watson appeal … NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has named former New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey to hear the league’s appeal of Cleveland QB Deshaun Watson’s 6-game suspension for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy. The NFL had been asking for a full-year suspension, but the independent abritrator the league and players’ union had agreed upon thought 6 games was enough. There had been some speculation that Goodell would hear the case himself, but that might have been just a tad obvious. Harvey, though, has worked other cases for the league.
