Goodell noted that the evidence would support an entire year suspension.

Deshaun Watson and his troubles in the NFL continue as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has commented on Watson’s recent six-game suspension.

Goodell has stated that the league is looking for a tougher penalty due to Watson’s "egregious" and "predatory behavior."

It was revealed earlier this week that Watson would be suspended for six games. However, the NFL immediately made an appeal and it would seem that it will pursue a year-long suspension.

On Tuesday, Goodell was asked why the NFL appealed Robinson's decision and was seeking a suspension of at least a year for the Cleveland Browns quarterback.

Goodell answered: “We've seen the evidence, she was very clear about the evidence, she reinforced the evidence.

“There were multiple violations that were egregious, and it was predatory behavior.”

The NFL has appointed Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general, to hear the appeal of Watson's suspension for violations.

Goodell also commented on the sanctions issued to the Miami Dolphins, who were accused of tanking and tampering from 2019 to 2022.

Goodell added: “Well, several things, the integrity of the game is critically important. I think the findings are very clear ... and while tanking clearly did not happen here, we all have to understand our words, our actions have implications and we have to be careful.”

As we near the start of the season, it’s clear that the NFL will look to make a decision before the season officially begins.

At the moment, Watson is barred from practices and games so the team will start backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett in their season opener.
