From Aaron Rodgers to Deshaun Watson and more: Predicting the outcome of NFL's most pressing situations

The NFL never really sleeps, but the beast may be in a mild snooze. The glut of negative news drops out of the league office on Thursday afternoon certainly felt like a pre-vacation bloodletting of sorts. I suspect we get news on some player suspensions (for substance abuse or performance-enhancing, more so than for personal conduct policy issues), and then, most likely, things shutdown until the end of the month. It's always risky to unplug and head to the beach for a bit in this business, but I'm going to risk jinxing myself and go on record as saying the next two weeks will be quiet. Real quiet.
