The FBI is investigating Buzbee; not sure if he’s done anything technically illegal but he’s the exact type of person what makes people hate lawyers.

I’m pretty sure the accusers (not all of them) are under FBI investigation



Just going by what was in the Miami Herald article about it:

quote:

Yahoo said teams interested in Watson want protections on involved draft picks, while the FBI and the Houston police department investigate sexual assault allegations against Watson from 10 women. Twenty two massage therapists have filed civil lawsuits against Watson, alleging sexual misconduct

When the dust clears they’ll have to trade him for a late rounder and pick up some of his salary.

The FBI is investigating whether or not extortion is being used against Watson.

Exhibit #5,247 why I am no longer a Texans fan.

Imagine the sporting equivalent of giving pallets of cash to a foreign nation under the table and it only hurting your nation (franchise in this case).

That’s what they’re asking of other teams.

I guess there always could be a complete dumbass to actually go through with the deal, though.

The Texans have until the 2022 NFL Draft to trade him.

They can play hardball now but the clock is ticking… slowly.

The only way to get that for him is it wait for Bill O'Brien to get a GM job.

The Texans probably wouldn't mind if the Jets called. Getting Zach Wilson in a trade package would probably be best case scenario.

The odds he gets off scotfree from the league are as low as the odds that 22 women decided to all make up false allegations about him. Either way, the league isn't suspending him for more than 8 games and better to miss games this season when his base salary is 10 mil than next year when it's 35 mil.

That's stupid. If he settles, there will be a NDA which could interpreted as a money grab. If they are truly victims then they should allow the justice system to handle the matter.

Watson may or may not be guilty, but the timing of these charges coming up right at the time Watson was making it public that he was unhappy and wanted out seems a little more than curious.

They want a price that no player is worth. I could understand if the Chiefs were asking for this for Mahomes, the consensus best at the position. Watson is not him though. He has no individual accolades to stand on.

Different circumstances. One woman who was clearly full of shite versus Watson who has over a dozen different women from all over accusing him of similar acts.
