Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources. Watson has informed the Houston Texans that he now is willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract to be dealt to Cleveland.

Because it's their hotel and not a whore house. It definitely their business. It's not pay your money then smoke crack if you want. [Reply]
Of course God Boy helped facilitate Watson’s assaults.
“The lawsuit also says that Ramirez told HPD that he and Texans executive vice president Jack Easterby helped set up an account for Watson at the Houstonian.” [Reply]

The guy is clearly just messed up in the head. As a football player I don't know how you'd go into a huddle with him and have any shred of respect for him. The Browns are goddamn morons, this entire situation is truly mind boggling on all levels.

It's usually more boredom for people like this. He probably has had women available on command so he needed something new. [Reply]
I remember back in the day when Kapernick wore a Dolphins hat on the beach right after signing his contract extension with SF. Then he got into an argument with SF fans on line that called him out on it.
I got into a few arguments with people here because I said no way anyone that stupid is going to be a good QB long term.
Take that x 50 with Watson. Dude has to be ****ed in the head and now its never going to go away. [Reply]
Not sure how the Texans would be liable for Watson's misconduct.
Seems like the massage therapists in Houston would have more of a duty to warn other massage therapists.
When did the lawyer first learn about Watson? Is his law firm liable for any of Watson's misconduct after their first massage therapist plaintiff signed up.
Not sure what "tort" the Texans are responsible for.
Weird story, There are not that many cities where a guy could be that big a problem for one group of licensed professionals and there be no grapevine where those licensed professionals say watch out for this creep. [Reply]
So certainly the massage therapists the Texans used have a rightful grievance....even though at least one of them was voluntarily fucking him. He was definitely being a creep there but boo hoo about the sluts he met on Instagram. I'm sure it was pretty obvious what he was looking for there. [Reply]

If it was criminal law, I would start with aiding and abetting, but for tort law the standards of proof are generally lower. [Reply]

It looks like a case of a publicity seeking attorney trying to stay in the papers after settling most of the cases against the asshole creep.
Texans should not settle this case or any others based on the same weak legal premise. [Reply]
I wanted to give Watson the benefit of the doubt but all of this is messed up and he deserves it.
Now can we talk about Daniel snyder? What a diseased league when owners are not only not held to the same standards, they’re not held to any standard at all. [Reply]

Watson was their employee and they provided him a NDA form to give to massage therapists. [Reply]

In what way is asking someone to sign an NDA illegal or even wrong? I would guess that a lot of people who deal professionally with athletes and celebrities are asked to do this. [Reply]

Their contention is because they provided the NDA form they knew about his behavior and since he is their employee they are liable civilly. [Reply]
