Just speculation here, but my guess is that a deal was struck between Brown, Mara and the NFL front office (and possibly the NFLPA).

Brown agrees to go away quietly and not file a grievance.

In return, he gets a large chunk (perhaps all) of the money remaining on his contract.

The timing of the release of his mea culpa, just before he got cut, seems to be too coordinated to be a coincidence.

I hope every dime of it has to go towards child support for the kid(s) that are his and hers. He should suffer the entire loss of income, his kid(s) shouldn't.

thanks, so he fights it and gets it paid to him in appeal, maybe a deal is in place.

I still think his claim to never touch his wife is telling, he is fighting it.

Says he never touched her, but admits in his journal to physically abusing her. If he actually never struck her (please) like he said, then what was the physical abuse? Sexual assault? Rape?

The idea that he felt the need to make that BS "clarifying" statement shows he's still FOS.
Oh I never STRUCK her, I just swung crap at her that DID strike her.

i guess he wanted to show her he was boss, that she was under him and his awesomeness - no clue but i think we will never know because he is out of the nfl and the giants will give him his pay so the ex-wife and child are taken care of

If you believe this is what happened, then Brown's denial of actually hitting Molly could be throwing a lifeline to Goodell.

From the Sally Jenkins's article linked to in another thread.

“Effective immediately violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense,” he announced.

We should have known right then that he didn’t mean a word of it. Look carefully at that statement. What assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault doesn’t involve “physical force?” He was leaving himself a loophole.

Well if Brown never hit Molly, then Goodell can claim that his DV didn't include "physical force", thus no mandatory six game suspension.
 
Wow, funny because some in the media are under the belief that the suspension for DV can be UP TO 6 games but not start at 6. Interesting.

Well If the media doesn't know that Roger can suspend anyone for as long or as short has he wishes, they haven't been paying attention.

While I think that the probability of any random conspiracy theory being accurate is very low, I also think that the every now and then, one of them turns out to be true.

Is this one of those in the latter category? I don't know that we'll ever find out - whatever payments Brown may be receiving are no doubt wrapped in a confidentiality agreement.
 
Roger Goodell Doesn’t Take Bait On Question Linking Tom Brady, Josh Brown Suspensions. More double talk.

Gary Myers, a New York Daily News columnist, asked NFL commissioner Roger Goodell the question several others have posed since the recent emergence of new documents in which former New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to abusing his wife.
The commish wasn’t having any of it.
Basically, Myers wanted to know how the league decided back in August to suspend Brown for one game after an investigation into allegations that the kicker physically abused his wife, Molly Brown. As Myers pointed out, the one-game ban is nothing compared to the four-game suspension New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady received for his alleged involvement in Deflategate. And that’s despite Brown’s transgression being far worse than Brady’s in the mind of anyone with half a brain.
“Gary, I think you better look at the facts. We have to justify any action we take, and you better understand the facts and the evidence that exist,” Goodell told Myers in a sitdown interview this week for WFAN’s “Chalk Talk” show. “So you’re conflating a few issues there, and I would tell you that I think our investigators have a very good understanding of the information. They didn’t have access to information, but neither did you, that they’re looking at, and I think I will allow our investigators to get to the bottom of it, and we’ll see. They made the best decision at the time on the evidence that they had, but it has to be supported. As you know, the union challenged the one-game suspension. So we have to be able to support whatever position we take.”
The NFL’s 2014 code of conduct policy calls for a six-game minimum suspension in cases of domestic violence. However, it also states that aggravating and mitigating factors must be taken into account, and the league determined in Brown’s case that a full six-game ban couldn’t be levied based on the information available.
“The policies and the procedures and the penalties for domestic violence, it is the only offense that I know of where the second offense is banishment,” Goodell added. “Now, some people would say, ‘Well, why isn’t it the first (offense) when it comes to domestic violence?’ Well, in that August 2000, when I went out speaking to various domestic violence experts, they actually recommended you don’t do that. They recommended that the first offense be six games — as a matter of fact, they suggested five (and) we went to six — and then they said banishment on the second, so they understand the circumstances, would be acceptable. They thought that was very strong.
“Ultimately, what you want in a domestic violence case is to get back to a healthy relationship and not to make it even more complicated, and that’s the hope from the education through the first offense to hopefully you don’t ever see a second offense.”
It’s unsurprising that Goodell didn’t take the bait when asked about Brown’s one-game suspension as it relates to Brady, who received four games for allegedly having some role — one we’re still not entirely sure of — in manipulating the air pressure in footballs. But the bigger issue, of course, is the NFL’s overall stance on issues of domestic violence. And despite constantly flubbing matters of discipline, Goodell somehow still is preaching a positive outlook.
“I couldn’t disagree more, Gary,” Goodell responded when asked about the criticism that the league hasn’t made any progress with regards to domestic violence. “Very easily. Because what you see here is a policy that’s evolved. We’ve learned a lot. But these are complex matters. And when you talk to the domestic violence experts, which I don’t know if you do, but these are difficult matters to deal with. You have rights. You have families that you have to be concerned with here. You have privacy issues. And yes, you want to make sure that you’re doing everything possible to address these when they happen. But you also want to deal with them to prevent them from happening.
“I think we’ve made tremendous progress. Can we make more and will we make more? Of course. But society in general, we all need to do a better job, including other entities. But the NFL, I’m only responsible for that, and we have to continue to get better.”
