What was mentioned earlier in the year about these cases.....that the earliest they could go to court is 2023 IF they will be tried?

So sitting out this year to handle these cases is Florio's suggestion.... but if Watson is claiming his innocence and this goes on into 2023 the same approach would apply? Nah, I don't think that makes sense. Watson's lawyers are "handling" these cases. Watson's daily/weekly/monthly involvement undoubtedly pales in comparison to what his team will do so this mindset from Florio that Watson needs to drop everything and work on these cases seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Look... If the NFL wants to suspend him now, then they'll suspend him now. If they want to wait, they will wait. But Watson will be playing football if he can....and I'm guessing won't pause is life/career to work on these cases when he is paying people to do so on his behalf.

JMO.
