I am sure that their feelings were hurt. Apparently like yours are from time to time.

So we go from "this is a conspiracy crafted by the team" to "they are all escorts" to "the lawyer is lying" to "this is a cash grab" to "their feelings are hurt".

 

You got it man, you are on a roll.

Of $500.

That is the request for a court decision. Settling out of court can be what ever amount where they reach an accord. The OOC amount does not need to be disclosed. This is going to cost DW millions unless he wants it to go to court and be found guilty in each of the civil matters. I don’t think that he wants to do that unless he is feeling righteous.

They're also requesting that he admit guilt.

Hey friend I think that you are confusing me with someone else... I only said that their feelings are hurt and I never used the words “cash grab”. 
Did I do something to hurt your feelings? What can I do to make you feel better?

Then why would they request a grand jury? Once the state of Texas or DA takes the case, it’s about criminal charges, not settlements.

And in order to get them to take the case, you need a jury. Which is what’s being requested.

Very bad route to go by the lawyer if the end game is cash settlements.

You can have a civil case and a criminal case going at the same time.

Its not either or.

Drew Bledsoe was a four time Pro-Bowl player, so he was a very solid NFL QB. At the moment, Watson's stats through the first four years(with less games played than Drew) are mostly ahead of Bledsoe's. Pretty stark differences in efficiency ratings, TD:INT ratio, etc. Comparable at some level but Watson is on a pretty accelerated track to eclipse him and leave him behind.

Understood and mostly agreed.

That said, OP said "never before" has a top-QB been on the trading block like this --- at the time of his trade Bledsoe had recently signed the first $100,000,000 contract in NFL history and played in a Super Bowl...analogous situation.

 

[Assumes Watson was ever on the trading block -- I don't believe he was.]

But this doesn’t mean Buzbee wants only the minimum amount of $500 per client; a demand for $500 is the minimum amount required to get the case in court. It’s not a limitation on the amount of money that ultimately may change hands via settlement or verdict.

Two women have accused him of forcing oral sex.

In your mind, that equates to "hurt feelings"?

Eh...that's not a 1:1 comparison for a couple of reasons. Drew was traded in 2002, when he had just turned 30 years old. So, he wasn't in his prime like Deshaun is currently(who is only 25). That is also from a time when playing late into your 30's wasn't quite as common as it seems to be in today's NFL(which I directly attribute to very QB friendly rule changes over the last decade). Drew actually retired from the NFL 4 years after that trade.
