The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the NFL's hardest schedules in 2022. Mostly because of the insane list of quarterbacks they're set to face.
Well, they won't have to face one of those quarterbacks after Thursday's news.
Per ESPN's Jake Trotter, the NFL and the NFLPA have reached a settlement that results in an 11-game suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Which means he will not face the Buccaneers when the Browns travel to Tampa Bay in Week 12. Week 9 is the Browns' bye week, which ultimately makes the Week 12 matchup their 11th game of the season.
This is obviously a major win for the Buccaneers. Todd Bowles' defense will now take on the likes of Jacoby Brissett, Joshua Dobbs, or even former first-round pick Josh Rosen. Assuming all of them make the team, of course.
That has to be music to both Bowles' and the Buccaneers defense's ears.
