Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson have the same suspension length, and that isn’t right

For me, this is less about Hopkins’ situation — which is unfortunate, but like he said, pretty black and white when it comes to the NFL — and more about Watson’s total. Judge Sue Robinson basically acknowledged Watson committed assault under the league parameters, but didn’t feel she could make it for more than six games based on previous punishments.

There is a lot that goes into this — and as an aside, Watson sitting out last year doesn’t matter, because that was voluntary (not a suspension) and he still got paid — but it’s kind of incredible Watson won’t even miss half a season. And yeah, it’s incredible to me that he and Hopkins will miss the same amount of time.
