Wow. Thought it would be double that at a minimum.

Meh, I guess the league kinda had to do something once the story got bigger than the actual facts.

He hasn’t played since 2020 season. So I would say these 6 games are cumulative.

You mean the fact that 24 women sued him and he is settling?

The guy is a freaking creep calling women on business matter and trying to have sex with them.

Aren't policemen often on paid leave after an "incident"?

People need to understand that the factual basis on which the arbitrator made this ruling included the testimony of only 4 of the women. So the question was how many games should this guy get suspended for being accused by 4 women, not the 20 something in total. From that perspective, 6 games isn’t really surprising.

This is just the recommendation by the judge. Not the final decision.

Either way, the fact a guy can be credibly accused of sexually assaulting a few dozen women, then get a record contract, and then get a slap on the wrist suspension is pretty terrible.

6 games in the NFL is an eternity

It does strike me as weird that he can have this kind of baggage and still score a big contract
