D Watson is losing more money than that with the six game suspension with no pay. In todays world when dealing with the mega rich and especially in professional sports 1.5 million is a slap on the wrist.

Got this from Sporting News

[h=2]Deshaun Watson contract[/h]Watson just signed his five-year, $230 million deal with Cleveland, and his first year's salary was reduced to just north of $1 million ($1,035,000 to be exact). That base salary is paid out over 18 weeks during the regular season — 17 games and one bye week — and Watson is expected to miss six games as a result of the suspension.
Watson will forfeit 1/18th of his salary ($57,500) for each week he misses. As such, his suspension will cost him a total of $345,000 of his base salary.
Watson's $8,993,000 signing bonus for the season is not impacted by the suspension. His salary over the next four seasons will be $46 million per year. The Browns have previously not been reported to have any interest in voiding his contract.
Watson had previously signed a four-year, $177.5 million extension that would be going into effect for the 2022 season.

I guess he did get a slap on the wrist that being the case. He probably spends more on women. I kind of wonder will it hurt any performance bonus since he will only play in 10 regular season games? He's a lucky bastard.

They lost 2023 1st round draft pick does it say if they could give up some later draft pick in trades to another team to get their 1st?

I’m a phins fan as well. At least we still have the 49ers first rounder or it would sting even worse.
