The NFL has three days to decide if they are going to appeal the suspension. Meaning they could add more games to the punishment if commissioner Roger Goodell decides to go that route.
For that to take place, Goodell or his designee "will issue a written decision that will constitute full, final and complete disposition of the dispute,'' per Article 46 in the CBA.
Texans fans were hoping for a longer suspension to give them a better chance at a higher draft pick. So, we'll see how Goodell intends to proceed over the next few days.
