This isn't even a criminal case! Also odd!

Even if the story were completely true, would it actually be a crime? If not, a civil lawsuit would have been the only option.

Can't say I'm familiar with Texas law and don't know if we have anyone on here who is.

 Otherwise it's just another she-said-he-said. 

Funny how "she said" has been enough to convict-now & investigate-later in basically 100% of all cases in the recent past...

...if nothing else, given the me-too times we are living in the NFL will have to conduct an investigation which never seems to happen fast.

Is a player even tradeable while that sort of thing is taking place?

It looks like you're correct due to the nature of what's alleged that Watson did. His alleged violation doesn't appear to rise to the level of sexual assault (which would make it criminal).

This means that it is in fact (as alleged) more benign than other cases we've heard, and that anyone who believes that we won't trade for Watson based upon this is likely fooling themselves.

      Trade deadline thread

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
