Settling wouldn't mean that he is guilty, it would mean the cheapest way out of a false claim. But in DW4 position, I wouldn't pay a cent $00.01, ZERO. For DW4 it should only be about trash attempting blackmail by making false accusation against him bc he is known to be a good guy by everyone that knows him, and it's bc of his good name that he should proved to those trying to extort him that he will not take the easy way out, and that he is willing to allow it costing him more to show that he won't be bullied bc he is a good person, and happens to be rich!!!! If it was me, I would be #### bent on showing that I wasn't their easy meal ticket bc I am a rich good guy. I believe that is exactly what this attempt to assassinate DW4'S character is all about!!!!

Wouldn't shock me one bit if the lawyer wasn't a client and she told him DW4 once was and the wheels got to turning. Or either it's an inside job by the organization. Whatever it is, it smells.

This is exactly what I thought. That the Texans organization could be behind it to tarnish his name and scare teams away from wanting to deal with him .

Oh yes, this has a rotten odor to it from the first words out the lawyers mouth, women being abused by rich men, and with the sexual harassment accusations against governor Cuomo all over the news everyday!!!! This sounded like between the lines from the start, lets burn this rich QB with all this rich men abusing women on every TV news, news papers, and magazine articles!!!!

publicity seeking ....
An inside job or it’s just the plane truth ...
A pay-off/publicity seeker could not be dumb enough to go after someone like D4 when considering his reputation...
There are much easier targets to slander than D4...
Gives the inside job more credibility... Texans would want him devalued as much as possible if they plane to move on ..

The only way for them to move on is to trade him. Why would they want him devalued as much as possible before trading him?

Per twitter, the lawyer (a failed mayoral candidate for Houston) was a neighbor of the Texans owner. And per a different twitter user, there has not been a lawsuit filed either in TX or federally. So really... it looks like a smear job, but a really ###### one.

It's horrible. If not about money, then why throw a figure out... Right. What kind of a world are we becoming. Can't compliment someone of the opposite sex without it becoming unwelcomed.
Heck, ppl get offended when you say something about God to them. I told a cashier to have a "Blessed day, God got You" and she told me "thanks, but God's not really my thang". Probably didn't like my Trump shirt but whatever.
DW4 is the absolute last player in the NFL that would do anything but offer to pray with you.
Ghesh America, wake up.

I have no doubt that some men certainly do take advantage of women, and/or assault them, and that should always be taken seriously. I also have no doubt that some men think they can get more than just a massage.
With that said though, if I'm a known athlete or celebrity these days then I'm going to insist on never being alone with a woman who isn't my wife/gf or part of my family. If I want a massage then I'd insist on some other party I trust being there.
It's too easy to claim something happened in hopes that the person will simply settle because they want to avoid it going public, because even if just 10% of the public believes you may have done something then your reputation has taken a hit. It would also make people that much more likely to believe you're guilty if any other woman were to decide to do the same thing in the future.
It's the hope of the person just paying to make something like this go away that drives these claims. I say that because the woman making the claim said "Watson went too far" which sounds like she isn't saying he raped her or straight up physically assaulted her. It sounds like she's claiming he may have touched her, or exposed himself or something along those lines. Let's say that a man actually did to that, there wouldn't be any evidence at all, and it would be a straight case of his word against her word. No way would something like that hold up in criminal court, and hard to imagine it would in a civil court either.

politicians (a lot of which are lawyers) can spew in one statement or conversation.
Do any of these clowns know how to debate using logical reasoning anymore? I would have thought that this would have been taught in law school, but what do I know? I guess it's mainly emotional arguments and focusing on "your truth".

Would not be surprised if the Texans set this up as a way to nullify his contract under a "Morals" clause. And the day that a lawyer does something for no compensation is the day that the sun comes up in the West.

If they wanted to get rid of him they could trade him. That way they get out of the contract and get draft picks in return. The logic some of you come up with...

This Houston Texans saga is the epitome of trashy
Mar 17, 2021, 11:57 AM

That team will be lucky to lure anyone to play for there raggedy organization. Deshaun didn't know he was signing up to play for this type of clown show.I know it wasn't the organization who came up with this lawsuit but it was McNair's former neighbor who is involved in the allegations. Just trashy, vindictive, idiots.
Just b/c Deshaun is done with you doens't mean you now get to make up things and defame a good persons character. Dont' be such greasy weasels and figure out ethical/honest treatment of your players for once.

Not even close. We all love Deshaun for what he did for Clemson and he seems like a great young man, but unfortunately, our love for him has given far to many here blinders on the situation as a whole, not just these allegations.
First, Deshaun knew full well what he was getting into when he signed that extension. Nuk had already been traded, and O'Brien had traded every first and second round pick for the next couple years. Knowing all this, he still signed that deal keeping him there through 2025. The only thing that changed was O'Brien being fired. None of us have any idea what was said between the Texans and Deshaun in regards to the coaching and GM change. Did they tell him he would be part of the process, or did they tell him they'd ask for his input? Those are two vastly different things, and as great as Deshaun is, he shouldn't be involved in a coach or GM hire. Hell, Tom Brady shouldn't be involved in coach or GM hires. Seems like a lot of the things that he asked the Texans to do in regards to coaches they did. He wanted to see them hire a minority coach. They did. He wanted them to retain the OC. They did. We can't act like Deshaun has no culpability in this at all because that's naive. I know commitments seem to mean nothing these days, from marriage, to contracts, to LOI, etc, but Deshaun made a commitment, warts and all, he can't just take his ball and go home when something doesn't go his way. And for the people thinking that this is an inside job from the Texans, in what reasonable line of thinking would that make any sense? If they can't get him to play and plan to move on, they'll want his value at it's highest. Do you seriously think they're going to void his contract and let him walk for nothing?
As far as these allegations go, I tend to lean towards believing Deshaun, but I'll wait for judgement until we know all the facts. Apparently, from reports, it's 2 women in this lawsuit and then another 2 are coming forward with lawsuits. Nothing in Deshaun's history leads me to believe he did this, but people have demons too. I was a big Warren Moon fan growing up and never would have guessed he beat his wife. People can surprise you. I hope it's not true, and with the supposed emails, texts, and location data, it should be somewhat easy to prove.

Thanks to social media, we wont have to wait for a trial or, in this case, a judge to continue with any proceedings. The texans, the media and me too will keel haul him and thats that.
The benefit is that the texans will drop him, another team will picknhim up faster than cleveland grabbed kareem hunt.
Keep the chin up, DW. All of Tiger Nation believes in you.

You would think DW4 would only have a professional team oriented massage or at least from a highly trained masseuse specialist.
But I'm assuming and you know what that can cause.

Let us all be warned - Take precautions in today's society.
Mar 17, 2021, 6:40 PM

Until evidence comes forward, I'm standing with the great reputation of DW4.
His Character is exceptional. He has done a great job to help those less fortunate with contributions to many without seeking publicity for himself.
Saying all that - we live in a VERY LITIGIOUS SOCIETY. The answer to so many things for people is to SUE.
For all of us, BE WARNED: Protect yourself.
Video and record everything if prudent and possible to do so.
Never put yourself in a situation whereby it can become a he said/she said affair. Have a witness, recording, etc... to protect yourself from others.
Never be alone with another person without a witness.
Don't trust others to speak the truth - they often won't.
- a friend who was a teacher almost lost it all because he was helping a female student to catch up on her late assignments after school.
The female student claimed he touched her inappropriately. 2 years later - he lost his state license to teach, lost his job, lost his house, and almost lost his wife and family. The nightmare ended when the girl recanted on the witness stand in court, saying that she made it up to get back at the teacher because she didn't do her work, didn't study, and was getting a poor grade.
As a single man, DW4, needs to always have a witness (body guard, close friend, etc...) whenever he is anywhere and someone not in his inner circle is around, even in his own home.
I still feel that DW4 is innocent and that someone is only out for his money.
But we all should be forewarned to protect ourselves and our loved ones from these thieves, liars, scam artists, etc... Be a witness for others. Stand up for your friends and family and don't let them get into a dangerous situation where they can be taken advantage of.
The world is no longer honest. Those of us that are, need to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and those that are also honest and trustworthy.

Also says he paid to fly one of them into Houston from Atlanta. That wouldn’t automatically mean it was for sexual purposes, but I’m not sure you fly someone in like that simply for a massage if that’s true.

Bingo, your the first poster that finally gets it. You don't fly a woman from Atlanta to Houston with the expectation that all you are going to get is a massage. And on the flip side of that I'm shocked that any massage therapist would travel that distance and expect to be compensated for anything less than what the customer was asking for (within the bounds of normal sexual activity). Regardless of that, the service provider can say no for whatever reason and that's where it stops. DW may have been upset or disappointed but there is no claim nor reason to believe that he was in any way physical or threatening. No reason to be. There are thousands of attractive body rub ladies all across the country that would jump at the chance to be flown in and paid a premium rate. So yes, its a shakedown because he has money and fame. The idea that he is a saint without a normal sexual appetite for a 20 something year old male of privilege is a joke. He simply did not vett the woman properly (body rub ladies and therapists are reviewed on multiple sites by of hundreds of men daily). Unfortunately, I see DW getting dragged through the mud as the trail of texts, plane tickets, and hotel reservations will be easy pickings. Still nothing criminal, just embarrassing. It's simply the Robert Kraft saga (dropped) with a better looking woman that does out calls instead of a lady that works at massage parlor. Not much new here, its the worlds oldest profession.

You knew some crap was coming trying to make DW look bad. Nice guy, huge amount of money and has a public conflict going on-some slimy 2 bit ambulance chasing jacka$$ was bound to come and see what they could come up with to get a piece of the action. And it's a classic-a woman says something so it must be true. Guilty before a trial and reputation tarnished for at least a little while. No one thinks Houston could be behind this?Big name quarterback takes a public hit-other teams possibly won't pick up the money and DW either takes a big money hit as other teams might pull back or he stays in Houston.
I used to hope there would be tort reform but it will never happen. As long as sleaze balls are making the laws, they will get carte blanch. You can sue anyone for about anything and potentially get a settlement from an innocent person. What would happen if a frivolous lawsuit carried the penalty of cash pay out if there "statement" turns out to be a lie?

Houston has Watson signed to a 5 year contract, so why would they need to do something to prevent other teams from wanting him? The only way another team could get him within the next 5 years is if Houston were to trade him. In that case it would only hurt Houston for other teams to have a reason to avoid Watson.

Man this sucks no matter what the outcome. I think we all know of DW4's character either directly or indirectly-this is a stand-up guy. If it turns out he was human and faltered, then dang...that impacts his constitution, legacy, name, what have you. If it turns out he is honest, then ####...this impacts him unde$ervedly. If it turns out to be a publicity stunt or cash grab, that impacts women and awareness about abuse and harassment. Such an unfortunate and ugly circumstance.
I 4 one will still believe in the man I know until proven otherwise. VERITAS.

Deshaun Watson is a fine, Christian young man. I will NEVER believe he is guilty of ANY of these charges against him. I'm sure if this was his nature, Dabo Swinney would have known it! These women are out for the money only! I'll continue to pray for Deshaun.
