As per Rob Maaddi at the Associated Press league sources from buryw's blog

 So far, Watson has settled 20 of the Madden 23 coins, with four cases pending. Thirty women have also accused the Texans of being the ones who facilitated Watson's allegations of sexual indiscretions. The Texans have reached a settlement with the women in all. There were two Texas grand juries opted not to charge Watson this is not unusual in cases of sexual assault. Texas grand juries are not open and it's impossible to determine what evidence the prosecutor's choice was to present. Watson is repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.


Watson's hearing on disciplinary matters with the league started on June 28 and was presided by retired Federal Judge Sue Lewis Robinson. Robinson was appointed as the league's disciplinary officer with both the Madden NFL 23 as well as the Madden NFL 23PA, according to the present collective bargaining contract.


As per the present CBA, Watson and the Madden NFL 23PA are given 3 days in which to challenge the decision written form in writing to Madden NFL 23 Commissioner Roger Goodell. Prior to the decision, Watson and the Madden NFL 23PA as well as Watson declared that they would follow the ruling of the arbitrator.


As per Rob Maaddi at the Associated Press league sources, the league suggested they believed that Madden NFL 23 was pushing for a minimum of a one-year suspension for Watson and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, and his legal team werenot surprising -insisting on no suspension. Maaddi also said that the league was willing to consider a lower suspension of between six and eight games to avoid appeals procedure.


Madden NFL 23 Madden NFL 23 is known to have not always been consistent in imposing discipline to players who are accused of sexual or domestic violence assault. The most notable instance was the suspension of two games for the former Ravens player Ray Rice, who was recorded on video punching his then-fiancée, injuring her and knocking her unconscious. The league was criticized for the decision to suspend Rice for only two games. The response was to remove Rice for a period of indefinite suspension. Following that, Mut 23 coins introduced an indefinite suspension of six games as the base for players who had committed sexual violence and domestic violence.


However, the league is not always adhering to the standard.
