Trade: [CLE/HOU] Deshaun Watson (signs 5 years, $230M) and 2024 5th for 2022, 2023, and 2024 1sts, 2023 3rd, 2024 4th

[Troy McClure]

Oh, wow. This could get interesting.

 

[TeddyBare]

Rappaport is wondering what clauses if any were in the trade if this gets out of control.
He doesn’t know if there is, but heard they were considering it when the trade happened

Like one of the 1st’s they traded is forfeited back

This is picking up more and more steam

How anyone can think this dude is innocent is incredible. 24 separate women are lying? Jesus.

Rusty Hardin is a piece of shit too, that guy reeks of corruption.

I think there may be some who are just trying to piggy back and get a quick payday, but there's no possible way all 24 are lying. There's definitely fire to this smoke and if not a full blow predator, he's at best colossal sleezeball/scumbag.

I think he ends up with 6 games at the minimum. Players have gotten more for less.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Dude will get crushed by fans on the road and possibly home games too forever.
Bills fans threw dildos at Brady for no apparent reason ,how much massage oil gets thrown at him ,or " happy ending " signs .. people are creative, Homeboy better be ready cause it's coming hard.

Fan reaction is the least of his worries at this point.

I think it was the legal strategy. Without recordings it’s near impossible to nail him, but they can keep his name at the forefront by continuing to file lawsuits because everyone knows they aren’t frivolous. Especially since the NFL never finished their investigation.

For sure but these guys train all year for the time on the field on Sunday. Now the best part,the actual games will be brutal.
Will Smith slaps a dude and cancel culture is all over him , does it not apply to sports?

As they should. Public humiliation is where I'd start ,get the twitter mob behind you.

NFL teams have world class trainers. Why couldn't he get massages from team trainers?

Because he wasn't looking for an actual massage, he was looking for sexual exploitation.

Most of them are legitimate trainers or massage therapists, and not dick wranglers

is that the same thing as or different from a jeep wrangler

They are fairly different, but both can result in a bumpy ride

Not only that, each team works with outside massage therapists and provides the players with that list.

They have to go after the Shield. The NFL has proven they will go to great lengths to protect the Shield. Implicating an entire team gets closer to that than constantly going after Watson on his own as that runs the risk of garnering him sympathy.

 

[Halladay]

There is no way he plays a snap in 2022.

How do you get 22 civil suits without a single criminal charge?

How do you get 22 civil suits without a single criminal charge?

Standard of proof is different in civil vs. criminal cases. Cases like this it's very hard to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt", but the standard for a civil case is much lower.

It's also very difficult to get a grand jury to indict on criminal charges with an uncooperative DA, as these seemed to be (I seem to recall seeing that the Texans were in constant communication with him, which is shady at best)

 

[Pestilence]

If Watson wanted some action, why not get some high priced escorts or something? Wtf dude, at least with a escort you’ll get multiple endings you wish.

Because that kind of action isn’t his fetish.

Maybe the Browns can extend him another 2-3 years to restructure his deal so he won't lose money if hes suspended for multiple seasons

We’ve known from the start though. There were multiple accusers there to testify that weren’t allowed to. It’s been a sham from the word go. He needs to be out of the league. Full stop.

Texas government officials are corrupt?

That's unpossible!
