Just let it go. 

It's easy to do. The thread is very clearly titled. You just don't click on it.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: Latest lawsuit filed today includes charges by a second woman alleging that Watson tried to force her to perform oral sex on him.

The price may drop for his services via trade, but is it worth it? I guess if we miss out on a QB in the draft Tepper will remain fixated on Watson, unless he is behind bars. I hope he would wait until the truth comes out to try to make any kinds of moves.

Watson should have never signed that contract extension with a racist pos owner running the show. He should have kept his head down played on the tag and hit FA when he could.

Up to 22 now and one of them says it happened this month and after the allegations.

No way we can touch this now

Also that he forced her to put her hand inside his anus. 
 

I know what they meant but I’m going to assume deshaun is actually a power bottom.

Damn.

I don't think anybody can until there's some sort of resolution.

You'd have to be a complete moron to trade for somebody with stuff like this hanging over his head.

Dude are you really going to sit there and try to compare Deshaun Watson to Drew Bledsoe?

Really?????

Sure did.

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.

Unless it's a 7th rounder we shouldn't be making this trade. Watson is in serious trouble.

[Waldo]

No way we trade for Watson with the poop storm in full force. This would be a reckless and dumb move to make until his situation is resolved.

Hate to throw fire on the discussion as only an occasional lurker, but you'd have to be a complete moron to trade for somebody with this many accusations out there - regardless of whether the league eventually lets him off with some slap on the wrist penalty.

 

"Elitist *sshole" or not, I'd never support an organization that put winning at all costs ahead of the optics of a situation like this. Having to explain to my kid why I wouldn't buy him a Panthers jersey with Watson's name on it shouldn't be a conversation I feel like anyone should ever need to have - and I don't have kids.

 

Watson should have understood how easily situations like this could arise - even if parts of this are overblown - and from an ownership/management standpoint I sure as *ell wouldn't want him around my family and employees who could sue me for millions in the event he's STILL not clear on what acceptable behavior is following this mess.

Even if you could get him for a 7th rounder, you’d still be on the hook for his 10 mill in salary this year.

10 mil for a guy who is most likely going to end up on the exempt list.

Is he worth the cap and PR hit? That’s a tough decision.

Remember, a player still gets paid if they are on the exempt list.

If there’s no trade market, the Texans will have to decide if they want to pay his salary this year or cut him.

Possibly. Remains to be seen. 

It certainly means that it is HIGHLY unlikely to see him moved anytime soon.
