Where does NFL’s Deshaun Watson appeal leave Browns? Reality and the Jimmy Garoppolo question

New York Times  

Two days after the Cleveland Browns were informed that quarterback Deshaun Watson would serve a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the NFL appealed the decision made by independent arbitrator and former federal judge Sue L. Robinson. The Browns at this point must brace for Watson to miss all — or at least much — of the 2022 season, so while there are few realistic quarterback options at this point, the team’s decision-makers must talk through every potential scenario and outcome. Even if Watson can’t play, the Browns are expecting a busy and productive season from wide receiver Amari Cooper, who was acquired in a trade six days before the deal for Watson. The Browns’ aggressive and expensive offseason that started with trades for Watson and Cooper also included new contracts for Clowney, Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward and tight end David Njoku.
