Deshaun Watson might end up getting a very light suspension.
The NFL is currently in the process of deciding how the Cleveland Browns quarterback should be punished after allegations of sexual misconduct, and it’s been reported the league wants an indefinite suspension.

However, it sounds like Watson might not get much time at all.

If Watson only ends up getting a suspension of six games, the Browns will have come out of this situation as huge winners. Again, there has been reporting the league wants him to miss at least a year.
If he misses the season, the Browns are almost certainly going to be terrible. If Watson only misses six games, Cleveland will still absolutely be in the mix to make the playoffs.

There has been lots of criticism of the Browns for handing Watson a $230 million fully guaranteed contract with his future being unknown, but at the end of the day, Cleveland will look very smart if he only misses six games.
I’m not endorsing the team acquiring him, but the facts are clear. A six game suspension is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
