As this seems to be taking up an entire news stream of its own, I decided to break out what exactly is going on.
So far:
12 Civil lawsuits have been filed against Deshaun. Of them, only 3 I believe are sexual assault claims, the rest are claims of sexual harassment or improper actions.
Per the lawyer for the women who are filing the suits, there could be an additional 10 suits to be filed.
All of these suits seem to be happening in early 2020. so they waited a year to file. That isn't anything out of the ordinary, as some women continue to be intimidated if these charges are true, and or don't want their identities all over the news.
So far only civil charges have been filed, but the lawyer(Buzbee) says he will send a packet to the law enforcement with the information he has.
Per the law, criminal charges can be filed if they are warranted, but you can't have civil and criminal cases happening at the same time.
As for his status with Houston Texans.
To date they have said they won't trade him. However, they have signed FA Qb Tyrod Taylor and traded with the Bengals for Finley.
Now it is coming out that Watson has a list of 4 or 5 teams that he is willing to go to, and supposedly he has a no trade clause.
Two of the teams are known - Denver and San Francisco.
supposedly other teams - Carolina, Chicago(rumor only) and now Philadelphia are making a big push, but it is not known who is on the full list.
Per a radio report I heard today - he does NOT want to go to NY Jets or Miami.
But I am hearing more and more that a trade will happen. He is adamant that he will not play for Houston any longer, period.
