Its all in his contract- he disclosed his actions with 22 women, the stuff the 24th woman stated was not disclosed to the Browns (based on what his lawyer said he didn't know either), nor did he disclose what the New York Times is reporting.

quote:

full copy of Watson’s contract, the contract exempts from the standard default/guarantee void language a suspension imposed by the league “solely in connection with matters disclosed to Club in writing pursuant to paragraph 42 and such suspension results in Player’s unavailability to Club solely for games during the 2022 or 2023 NFL League Years.”

In paragraph 42 of the contract, Watson “represents and warrants (except as disclosed to club in writing), as of the date hereof, that (i) Player has not been charged with, indicted for, convicted of or pled nolo contende to any felony and/or misdemeanor involving fraud or moral turpitude, (ii) Player has not engaged in conduct which would subject him to a charge, indictment or conviction of any such offense, and (iii) no circumstances exist that would prevent Player’s continuing availability to the Club for the duration of this Contract.”

The written disclosure was not attached to the contract. A source with knowledge of the document told us in April that it’s a “fair assumption” that it refers to the 22 pending civil lawsuits.

I’m not disagreeing they could potentially void it, but we are a long way from that being the case and even if they go that route it’s going to take a long legal battle to get that voided fully. As I mentioned earlier it would take this 24th allegation going all the way to an indictment or conviction- which seems unlikely.

Those void clauses are always fought in court for years after the initial dispute. I think Fournette is still doing one to reclaim guarantees voided from the Jags on his rookie deal.

Didn't know about that part. What's the backstory on that?

So theoretically the Browns can argue fraud in what he disclosed if they want out of the contract?

My prediction is that Goodell gives him the first two year suspension in history and the Browns try to void the deal due to the other events he didn't tell them about
