Yikes 😬

Per other reports, to date only one of the woman had actually sued the Texans. The team chose to go ahead and settle with all of those who still could.

Florio mentions that there are four lawsuits outstanding against Deshaun Watson but the total number of settlements indicates at least six more are possible.

And let me just say again, thank God this mess no longer has anything to do with the Panthers.

Settling that fast when not guilty yeah right. Probably better off not releasing a statement

Yeah...can't recall too many cases of somebody settling with people who haven't actually sued them yet.

Avoiding that is certainly one of the team's biggest wins recently.  And it was completely by mistake.

That seems to be our best shot at winning things these days.

Sorry, but I disagree with you guys on this. I think the Texans just want their name out of the picture and are willing to pay a little to do it. The chances of success suing the Texans was much smaller than Watson. Watson did it, not the Texans. I think they probably threw out a $50k or so deal just to make their brand clean again. Let Cleveland be linked with Watson. Considering the revenue sharing and the fact that NFL teams are now $4B companies, throwing out a million or two is chump change and the lawyers would jump on the free cash knowing they might not get anything from the Texans.

The lawyer's aren't settling these cases for $50k. What's that, $20,000 per case for hundreds of hours of work? Not a chance. Each settlement is easily in the low-to-mid 6 figures.

I think they're guilty, or at least complicit, and this move is a two-fold win for them; they get to silence the accusers behind an NDA before the details can come out, and on top of that they get to control the narrative and have the last word. We will never hear the accusers' side of the story, and the Texans can claim these settlements were some sort of altruistic gesture because they #believewomen. No one will ever be able to refute them. That's a massive PR victory for the Texans.

They get to avoid anything coming out in discovery, but it's not really fooling anyone in the media who will poo on them for a couple days and then move on to the next thing. Oh it's Friday how convenient

      Lombardi on McAfee Show

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After watching the 360 program on NFL Network (I think), I am emotionally drawn to drafting UNC's Walker.  Here is why:  He has the tools.  His critics complain about his route running.  After all he'd been through, I wonder if he ever really had a coach work on mechanics.  Canales wants the staff to be developmental.  Walker would appreciate being in Charlotte for his grandma--think that is a small deal?  Watch the video.  We may be the team best equipped to maximize his potential.  Not in the second round, but the third?  Add what Lomabardi said about the best WRs in the NFL not being from the first round--Walker could be a steal in the third.

      Please a million times yes!!! Would love to lock him up long term, even moreso if he is willing to take a slight discount because he likes being here.
