Him being found guilty of anything criminal at this point is extremely low. Grand jury already passed on most if not all these cases

Browns have some level of protection in case this goes haywire supposedly, but they would have a long fight on their hands trying to get that money back by claiming the new allegations materially effected the deal signed when he already had like 23 of em when they made the trade and contract

Browns would get cap relief for any games he's suspended or if his contract is voided.

According to Tony Buzbee that was b/c the ADA purposely sandbagged it. I put this in the NYT thread but here it is for those who skip that one

quote:

“Just so there is no confusion: I personally contacted the Harris County DA’s office one time on behalf of the victims to make available to her my clients and any evidence I had collected. My team also did so. They wouldn’t even talk to us!

I had no idea that the assistant district attorney was regularly corresponding with Deshaun Watson’s lawyer by email and text; I didn’t know that the assistant district attorney actually went to Hardin’s office to discuss the cases; I didn’t know that Watson’s lawyer provided a PowerPoint that was to be used before the grand jury.

I didn’t know, but know now after speaking to the investigating officer under oath, that the police investigation team was convinced that Watson had committed more than ten sexual crimes, or that the ADA had prevented the investigating officers from talking to the women who had filed lawsuits but had not filed criminal complaints. And what I do know is that, of the multiple criminal complainants in Houston, only one was asked by the ADA to appear in front of the grand jury, even though other victims were standing by to do so.

As a taxpayer, and more importantly as the advocate for these women, I feel “home towned” in my own home town, and duped. I think the public and all interested were duped as well. Makes you wonder. . . Thank God for the civil justice system.”
