WISE Sports Radio NFL: Deshaun Watson facing lesser suspension, Jimmy Garoppolo trade market

NFL training camps are about to open, so we’re getting in a football segment before The WISE Guys radio show goes on a two-week break while Pat Ryan takes a vacation. (We’ll still do our regular baseball update next Monday.)
