Was there ever any real doubt this would all be concluded with a settlement? They should have just skipped to this part and gotten it over with. If he actually did anything wrong hopefully he learned next time he needs a massage with a happy ending to just go one of those shady neon sign light on legit jack shacks to keep things simple.

Pretty much called this. Innocent or guilty its just easier to pay them off.

Yeah and it's pretty fuged up regardless. If he's innocent it's fuged up that he's essentially forced to pay because the alternative of fighting it is a long process with no guarantees that he'll actually be found innocent as it's a he said she said case. And if he's guilty it's fuged up that these victims would just accept money to let him walk free. fuged up all around.

Pretty much how it goes this day.

IMO, If they accept money and none of them say "I don't want no stinking settlement", it just proves that they were all lying out of their ass in order to get paid.

Hmm....I take it mrcompletely11 didn't like that take of mine.   🤔

Perhaps he'd like to tell me in his own words why he didn't like it instead of just lurking and reacting....  Just saying...

I mean...since they were victims in this, they should NEVER accept settlements if Watson did this crap to them.  They should've gone after him since he committed a Criminal act to them.  

Sorry, but It's difficult to be sympathetic to them if they just took the money. 

Plus, it makes them look less believable that they were victims and more that they were looking to cash in on a high-profile Highly-Paid Professional Sports Athlete.

It is what it is.

Maybe they just want Watson to acknowledge what he did and this settlement includes that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
