Thank God you're not a GM

If Bellichick did this, everyone would be talking about how he thinks outside of the box.

This one did it for me, he has some issues Much of Jane Doe 15’s allegations are similar to those by other women, each of whom Watson hired to provide massages. In May of 2020, she said Watson contacted her via Instagram seeking a massage that would focus on his “‘groin area’, his ‘glutes’ and his ‘lower abdominals.’ ” Doe 15 was surprised that a famous NFL quarterback sought her out. She alleged that she informed him that she was a licensed personal trainer, not a massage therapist. She could help with post-workout muscle therapy, but “massages were not her specialty.” Watson was undeterred and scheduled her to come to his house on May 28, according to the lawsuit. She arrived and Watson led her to the theater room, where she set up before Watson returned wearing just a towel. Doe 15 alleged in her lawsuit that when Watson “eventually flipped over onto his back, the towel fell off [and] … Watson was completely naked and exposed his penis to the Plaintiff. Watson also moved his penis onto Plaintiff’s hand. Watson had pre-ejaculate leaking out of his penis, which got onto Plaintiff’s hand. Plaintiff felt like she wanted to vomit.” Doe 15 said she was confused and upset and chose to end the massage session. She stated she left soon after. Watson’s actions are a potential violation of 22.012 of the Texas penal code — indecent assault — which is punishable for up to one year in prison or a fine of $4,000. “If what happened is as it’s described in the lawsuit, then it is absolutely indecent assault,” Mordock said. Watson could face more serious felony sexual assault charges based on the allegations by Jane Doe No. 3 and No. 9 concerning forced oral sex, however those civil lawsuits do not indicate a level of contemporaneous reporting that Jane Doe 15 does. “When Plaintiff got home that day,” the lawsuit reads, “Plaintiff immediately called her mom and her best friend to tell them what happened and said she was traumatized … Plaintiff also received a text message from Watson that same day asking her if she was OK. Plaintiff did not respond. For weeks afterwards, Watson repeatedly contacted Plaintiff asking if he could book her again. Plaintiff either ignored the requests or said she was too busy.” The fact that Doe 15 alleges to have told two people — her mother and her best friend — that very day about what allegedly happened could provide significant credibility to her claim. Her story is on the record. Both individuals could be called to testify in either a criminal or civil claim. “That is a contemporaneous report,” Mordock said. “It is the key to these cases. It signals that the alleged victim in the matter knew that it was severe enough that she had to tell someone right away. They knew something was wrong right away. “Then you have him following up asking if she is OK?” Mordock continued. “That is not a particularly good fact for Watson. And then she refuses to engage with him.” https://sports.yahoo.com/the-lawsuit-that-is-most-problematic-for-deshaun-watson-014827728.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALqt1RRSGjigkcYImqAVjgrxVotZp77Uw5Gzuga9kNPlk6wWkT8WlbxLDjD90Wp6H2M35aZfX8PdewPsm0yH3MaHLSiOSBIJx6zHZyZMpxLkobz-FpBcT47WobIWPqEeuITyDNeumYManL41B088bMmFjMFXgBBqFZrtqJjdq6m5

Still want Lance

I prefer trading up to 5, giving up fewer picks and ensuring we get one of the top 4 QBs, hopefully Lance

At this rate, Texans may have to cut him and try to get the signing bonus back.

Can we make sure he's not getting any 'sensual' massages?

Let's just say the fact they all have this slimeball for an attorney makes them less believable in my view

Just because they're licensed doesn't mean they wouldn't do it. Are they risking getting their license revoked, yes, but the tradeoff of getting a payday is probably worth it. They could get more money in a civil law suit settlement than if they worked as massage therapists for 30 years. If they really wanted "justice", they could have filed criminal charges.

I believe these are 'escorts' looking for a payday

Let me get this straight, you get assaulted and you go back for some more? Yeah, that's believable

Joe Joe probably has more descendants out there than Genghis Khan

Yes but also obvious that these women provide those additional services but now looking to cash in

Big Ben raped a girl in a club (allegedly)

This lawyer is a crook. Soliciting lawsuits via social media. Watson better file a counter suit and get this crook disbarred

Why "welp", I thought you wanted him?

The biggest risk isn't even the civil suit itself but any independent NFL investigation that may happen as a result. No telling what Goodell may do in the wake of "me too". He can almost expect some form of punishment just for being accused.

His trade value and options just dropped. If there’s anything Tepper knows is how to buy on the dip. These charges will be dismissed OP should clarify this is a civil lawsuit, not criminal which makes it seem more like a money grab.

Most would even take Stidham over Cam.

“In on every deal”, doesn’t mean we were close

Cam broke rookie passing records, so I say Cam. But it’s close

I think it's probably Cam in week 1, a rookie QB in week 9.

We need bodies on the O-line, that's all

Real mature post. Why are you on a message board if you don't care to read any different opinions?

And that's the key, he was not signed to be a guaranteed starter. It makes sense for the Patriots because Cam should be, at this point in his career and given his shoulder issues, a serviceable backup or a veteran leader who can help transition to a new rookie. Cam seems to have handled his benching last year pretty well and didn't complain to the media which made Bellichick feel better about signing him.
