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.

Wow, this reeks. The timing, the lawyer and the connections. If this turns out to be what it looks like, can anything splash back on McNair?

Maybe Watson has some issues and that deserves space to develope, it just reeks of BS and more terribleness out of Houston.

The rumor is this guy and McNair are neighbors and friends.

I saw this last night and declined to post on it due to no substantiation whatsoever. It just flies in the face of everything that I've read about Watson, and the timing is suspiciosly right on time by a questionable character who apparently has a relationship with an owner with suspect character. I'd bet that there's nothing to this at the end of the day.

it's not just rumor. Buzbee was Bob McNair's neighbor. 

Kinda raises the question why the offered settlement was only 6 figures. If you're trying to shakedown Watson, you'd think you'd go for a little higher number. 

If it turns out that this was a coordinated smear.....woo lad

If that is the case he should be barred from the league and forced to sell.

the Texans forum is a mess. Some posts saying cal set this up, some saying deshaun himself set this up as far as his comments about “extreme measures” to get out of HOU, others saying deshaun definitely did it because he hung out with a pornstar that one time (wut). This is ugly.

False accusers need to get punishment as well in my opinion.  Even if it's eventually proven that the accused did nothing wrong the whirling poo storm caused by those types of accusations doesn't just poof into non-existence . 

It’s a slippery slope. Then you get victims afraid they will lose the case and remain silent or worse get out lawyered by a rich person and get punishment as well as the assault that happened...

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
