Roger Goodell had an important goal in mind in the early stages of his time as the NFL's commi sioner. He wanted to establish himself as a disciplinarian who created consequences for players that committed on- and off-the-field transgre sions.Goodell was able to accomplish that mi sion. He tookoffice in September of 2006 and quickly got to work revising some key policies acro s the NFL. Notably, he introduced a beefed-up personal conduct policy to the league in April of 2007, and that policy allowed the NFL to take more control over player discipline than ever.The policy has been far from perfect. It contains within it plenty of vagaries and gray areas that haven't been addre sed even in the 15 T.J. Tynan Jersey years since Goodell rolled it out. This has created some muddled precedents that make it difficult to predict exactly how long suspensions will be.IYER:We saw that firsthand with the Deshaun Watson case. While the NFL pushed for a full, year-long suspension after 24 women accused him of sexual a sault and misconduct, Watson's representatives argued that Watson hadn't done anything wrong and thus deserved no suspension.That put in a tough spot, but ultimately, she chose to trust the personal conduct policy that the NFL has in writing to inform her punishment. As such, Watson will be suspended for the first six games of the 2022 NFL season, barring an appeal from the NFL.Watson's suspension has drawn a lot of attention, as it is shorter than some other recent suspensions under the personal conduct policy, the NFL's substances of abuse policy and the suspension the league gave to Calvin Ridley for gambling.How does Watson's suspension compare to other suspensions levied by Goodell and the NFL? Here's a look back at some of the longest suspensions during Goodell's 15-plus year tenure.MORE: Below is a list of the notable suspensions that Goodell has levied for personal conduct policy violations during his time as the NFL's commi sioner. Included are all suspensions of at least four games for off-the-field transgre sions as well as some other suspensions that contain within them "aggravating factors" that impacted the length of Watson's suspension.DatePlayerLengthViolationNov. 22, 2006Ricky Manning1 gameDomestic violenceMay 15, 2007Chris Henry8 gamesPersonal conduct policyMay 15, 2007Adam JonesEntire 2007 seasonAttacking a stripper and threatening a security guard's lifeJune 4, 2007Tank Johnson8 gamesFirearms charge, violation of probationJuly 27, 2007Michael VickIndefinite (2 years)Dog fighting scandalJuly 14, 2008Darrion Scott3 gamesChild endangermentAugust 30, 2008Bryant McKinnie4 gamesAggravated battery arrestOct. 14, 2008Adam Jones4 gamesAltercation with a bodyguardDec. 8, 2008Plaxico Burre s4 gamesAccidental shooting with a firearmAug. 13, 2009Dont StallworthEntire 2009 seasonKilled a pedestrian while DUISept. 23, 2009Plaxico Burre sUntil release from prisonAccidental shooting with a firearmApril 21, 2010Ben Roethlisberger6 games (reduced to 4)Rape chargesAugust 18, 2011Terrelle Pryor5 gamesImproper benefits scandal at Ohio StateOct. 25, 2011Chris CookEntire 2011 seasonDomestic a sault chargesMay 2, 2012Jonathan VilmaEntire 2012 season (later overturned)Bountygate scandalMay 2, 2012Anthony Hargrove8 games (later overturned)Bountygate scandalMay 2, 2012Will Smith4 games (later overturned)Bountygate scandalMay 2, 2012Scott Fujita3 games(later overturned)Bountygate scandalNov. 4, 2013Richie IncognitoIndefiniteDolphins bullying scandalSept. 2, 2014Josh Brent10 gamesManslaughter convictionSept. 2, 2014Ray RiceIndefinite (overturned after two months)Domestic violenceNov. 18, 2014Adrian PetersonIndefiniteChild abuse chargesApril 22, 2015Greg Hardy10 games (reduced to 4)Domestic abuse chargeMay 11, 2015Tom Brady4 gamesDeflategate scandalSept. 8, 2015Brandon Spikes4 gamesUndisclosedSept. 8, 2015Mike Williams6 gamesUndisclosedSept. 8, 2015Jonathan Dwyer3 gamesDomestic Brad Hunt Kids Jersey violenceSept. 8, 2015Jermaine Cunningham6 gamesPersonal conduct policySept. 8, 2015Rodney Austin6 gamesGuilty domestic violence chargeSept. 11, 2015IK Enemkpali4 gamesPunching and injuring teammate Geno SmithOct. 19, 2015Quincy Enunwa4 gamesDomestic violence chargeNov. 10, 2015Joseph Randle4 gamesDomestic violence with a weaponOct. 14, 2016Derrick Coleman4 gamesGuilty domestic violence chargeAug. 11, 2017Ezekiel Elliott6 gamesInvolvement in domestic violence caseSept. 8, 2017Josh Brown6 gamesDomestic violenceJune 15, 2018Roy Miller6 gamesBattery arrestJune 28, 2018Jameis Winston3 gamesSexual hara sment accusationAug. 21, 2018Jimmy Smith4 gamesEmotionally abusive behaviorsOct. 2, 2018Mychal Kendricks8 gamesGuilty plea to insider tradingJuly 31, 2020Antonio Brown8 gamesConduct detrimental to the leagueNov. 13, 2020Mark Walton8 gamesAggravated battery chargeAug. 13, 2021Derrius Guice6 gamesThree domestic violence incidencesSept. 15, 2021D.J.
