immediate NFL future currently lies in the hands of former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey,  of initial disciplinary recommendations for the quarterback. With Harvey's deliberation looming, however, the NFL and NFL Players A sociation are in "active settlement negotiations," according to CBS Sports NFL  Mark Ingram II Jersey Insider Jonathan Jones and the result likely to allow him to take the field in 2022.Former U.S. District Judge Sue L. Robinson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA to recommend discipline for Watson, initially proposed a six-game suspension for the QB, who faced 24 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct this offseason. The NFL quickly appealed the ruling, with commi sioner Roger  Ronnie Stanley Jersey Goodell seeking at least a full-season ban for Watson after a league investigation revealed a pattern of "predatory" behavior from the former QB in dozens of private ma sage se sions.Harvey, a former prosecutor who previously upheld the NFL's suspension of running back in 2017 Tavon Young Jersey , is expected to lengthen Watson's suspension in his forthcoming appeal ruling, per Aaron Wilson. It's po sible he could even institute an indefinite ban, which the league reportedly sought during Robinson's initial hearing. Meanwhile, a potential settlement between the NFL and NFLPA, representing Watson, could theoretically lengthen the six-game ban without forcing the QB to mi s all of 2022.  Robinson declared in her initial findings that Watson's "pattern of conduct," Trace McSorley Jersey  though not criminally charged, "is more egregious than any before reviewed by the NFL." The QB, who's confidentially settled all but one of the 24 lawsuits he faced, has maintained his innocence, though he only recently expre sed remorse for his actions during the investigated string of private ma sage se sions. The Browns, who committed a record $230 million guaranteed to Watson as part of a trade for the Pro Bowler this spring, have publicly defended Matt Judon Jersey  Watson and his character since acquiring him.
