Will NFL appeal Deshaun Watson's suspension, Deebo Samuel's role with 49ers change? | NFL | THE HERD

let me now address DeSean Watson which most of America addressed yesterday but I wasn't here um so the ruling is out six games you know that so here's my takeaway that through the course of life there are lies that are accepted if you get pulled over by a cop how many drinks did you have the answer of course is always just one right you lie to a cop not going to jail for that you can lie to the media I've been lied to multiple times politicians lie all the time I will not do this they do that I will not raise taxes they raise taxes you can get reelected doing that we lie to ourselves spouse's friends right like we call them white lies or fibs convenient don't want to hurt feelings you don't lie to a judge like that's the standard right you can't lie to a judge DeSean Watson lied to a judge if you read the 15-page report by judge Sue Robinson she didn't think he told the truth he got six games for a preponderance of evidence against him which was collaborated by one party two-party third party her report is yeah we have a collaboration of evidence here six games that to me gives Roger Goodell maybe they should put perjury in the next CBA because lying to a judge that's a No-No remember he initially and throughout denied all of these claims outright lies and then he negotiated with victims but in her 15-page decision and some of it talks about body parts so you know not that this is a family show but I'll just skim over it she does not buy that he's telling the truth that to me is another six games so Roger Goodell has something to weigh here so Roger Goodell because remember Commissioners never really get criticized for coming in harsh Rob Manfred the baseball commissioner he got criticized for just bringing up the idea of robots for umpires behind the plate that thing's still going on but when he suspended Trevor Bauer no pay for two years he was defended for that bosses Executives Commissioners are rarely criticized for going harsh on penalties joy and I have talked about for years the NFL always comes in light and gets clubbed for it so Roger Goodell right now the feeling is outside of Cleveland this is light feels light to me six games from Judge Sue Robinson I'd add six for lying I'd go to 12 but he has to weigh this because the NFL PA has said they'll sue the NFL PA and the Browns came out immediately we're very satisfied with the ruling why because they know it's light I mean it was about 15 minutes after it happened the haslams came out oh this is very difficult for us but we accept it yeah there's a reason they accept it so Roger Goodell has things the way though so should he add games because he's gotten in trouble before for light punishment and this is viewed as light by most reasonable people I think I'm reasonable you may not always think so but I think I tend to be reasonable I would double it to 12. six for what the judge said and remember two years ago the NFL in the nflpa decided on this process so this process gave you six games I double it for the lying part lack of integrity to a judge um but if he adds six games the nflpa will probably Sue and it'll be in the news cycle for a year you don't want that it's a business it's a front-facing business can you add one or two games or three in the nflpa threatens to sue but they don't the game start and the story is over that seems more realistic to me but um I don't want to hear about how DeSean Watson did not play last year he wasn't serving a suspension that was his choice just stop talking if that's your argument stop um what'll be interesting here now is what the commissioner does Rob Manfred send a guy home for ugly violent accusations two years no pushback six games feels light I would double it but I know if I was commissioner and doubled it I'd probably get sued and now it's in the news cycle for a year let's be realistic that's what you don't want right remember the Kaepernick story regardless of where you fall on it it was in a news cycle for a year and the ratings went down so the other thing to remember Roger Goodell has has one advantage here the haslams are not well liked among owners so a couple years ago after suspending Zeke for six games Jerry Jones was Furious Jerry Jones has power and is well liked by most owners he wanted to get Roger Goodell fired owners wouldn't let him and Jerry's got power Jerry's made a lot of people money Haslam's our persona non grata among owners because they gave Watson a fully guaranteed deal that's like that's like other leagues do that NFL never does that so the other owners would have no problem if godell came in and hammered the Browns Plus they may play the Browns right so Goodell has some leverage here um what I would do is not what Commissioners would do but you have to weigh it if you don't add anything you're going to get clubbed by the media fair or not you're going to get clubbed by the media until the game start and then people move on um but I think sometimes you have to make decisions on what you think your core values what you think is the right thing to do six feels light I would add six games for lying to a judge I that that was always the one like right we all kind of understand you know you put your hand in the Bible that feels serious to me I mean when you get pulled over by a cop they don't bring out a Bible they may bring out a breathalyzer but they don't bring out a Bible um so we'll see what happens so the Niners sign Debo Samuel 75 million uh 73 million 58 guaranteed I thought it was very Team friendly so it did not reset the market at all he's only the eighth highest paid receiver and after this year when 10 other guys get paid he'll be the 18th highest paid receiver um the bonuses tied to ever interesting he he only gets 650 000 per year if he has 380 or more rushing yards he'll earn only 150 000 if he scores three rushing touchdowns in any one year that's chump change meaning the bonuses are only two and a half percent of the contract those are chump change meaning they don't really reward Debo if he becomes a part-time running back but they don't punish the 49ers if he becomes a part-time running back so outside of Cooper cup and maybe including Cooper cup I felt Debo Samuel felt like the most important receiver for any one team last year at the end of the year they were using him for everything well this contract allows Kyle shanaham to use him however he wants to use it so debone his agent agreed if you pass use this how you want to use this big Edge to the 49ers and they're just giving him a three-year extension on top of the one year he has left they're not locked in Forever the style the Niners will use him obviously shortens careers not extends it so Debo just took a three-year extension on one year so at the end of it it'll be 30 and my guess is they'll move on which is about when you want to move on for the role he will play so I mean he got good money but I mean the bonus structure doesn't punish the 49ers doesn't necessarily reward him he wanted to get paid he got it and uh but it's only it did not reset the market it's not a Tyreke Hill deal uh it's very Team friendly Cooper cups deal I thought for Cooper cop was very very Team friendly now Cooper said I don't need to be the highest paid guy I just want to win championships but I mean if you look at that list Devonte and DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Brown and DK metcal Stefan Diggs you and I watch Debo Samuel for the Niners because remember this too he'll become a bigger part of this offense because they don't have an elite quarterback Devonte Adams does Cooper cup does DeAndre Hopkins does Stefan Diggs does so the Niners could use him as a running back half the time they could use him a lot at running back he was the centerpiece last year and that's with Garoppolo also remember George Kittle gets hurt Brandon iuk's young so they're going to rely on Debo a lot felt like a win for the team there hi everybody thanks for watching subscribe here to get the latest from the show also be sure to check out more of the best clips from the herd or go watch a few segments
