The civil case is still open or in progress and Watson is still dismissive and 'standing on innocence'. Suddenly in the midst of playoff positioning you're prompted to change to a 200 million dollar QB who hasn't played in 2 years. Very few people in the media, fan base and locker room will be accepting of Watson. Watson and the Browns management will be out on a limb in the middle of a tsunami.
Brisset has a long record of mediocrity. This would be more unlikely than a scenario where during a Kamara suspension, Dwayne Washington becomes an elite every down RB leading the NFL in all purpose yards and Kamara shows no remorse and we dont know what to do with Kamara.

Unless major new charges come to light I doubt Goodell will extend Watsons suspension. Goodell would never do anything that benefits the Saints. Also it would be seen as the NFL backing out of their agreement using a fine print technicality after a detailed negotiation. Such a move would make other players less likely to settle and more likely to go to court, and court cases could subject owners to discovery of evidence and embarrassing emails. Owners wanted a settlement to avoid court. Making a settlement and then blowing up the settlement would be worse than no settlement for owners because it would put this case in court and lead more future cases to court. It could even effect tv negotiations because if networks see goodell make a deal and then back out on a technicality they may wonder if he could do the same to them in some way.

Do i wish watson was more remorseful? Sure. But i dont know if any nfl player or owner who did any thing wrong has ever been remorseful, just good at reading sincere copy from their laywer.

I dont believe goodell is remorseful for the no call or the overturned bountygate penalties. I believe goodell sees himself as the victim and hasn’t changed because he isnt mature and doesnt think the rules apply to him.

Let's see if this in any way affects Watson's reinstatement.
