I have been surprised that so many teams have been courting

Watson.   I really am.

How exactly are ya gonna ‘sell’ him as the ‘face of the franchise’ ??

Have these GMs/Owners actually thought this through?

22 women.   22 pending sexual harassment/assault cases.

Imagine all the permutations.   All the different groups he’s going to

be interacting with as ‘face of the franchise.’

If I’m a GM, I am not inviting that

into my organization.

I agree.

Texas dismissing criminal charges due to lack of evidence was all the GMs had to hear to start lining up to bid on him.

In rape/sexual assault cases there usually isn’t a lot of evidence. It almost always comes down to ‘he said v she said’. Not finding sufficient evidence shouldn’t surprise anybody.

But he was accused by 22 women. That carries no weight with the NFL apparently.

I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

The sense of entitlement many of these guys have been developing since high school….

Deshaun Watson is expected to waive his no trade clause and join the Atlanta Falcons, per source. The trade should be announced within the next few hours.

Deshaun Watson remains undecided, at least for now. https://t.co/NtNAOQBrbv

Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources. Watson has informed the Houston Texans that he now is willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract to be dealt to Cleveland.

Every dollar of Deshaun Watson’s new five-year, $230 million deal is guaranteed, per sources, setting a new record for the highest guarantee given to an NFL player. @Browns and Watson’s agent @DavidMulugheta combine to make history.

This is likely the first of many clips to come out. Probably won't be a good look for the player who just got the best contract in NFL history (or the team that gave it to him). https://t.co/s8CF9L0fw4

Roger Goodell indicates the #NFL could talk to more of #Browns Deshaun Watson's 24 accusers as it continues to look 'seriously' at the charges; suspension possible, but Commissioner's Exempt list unlikely. No timeframe https://t.co/A8hXUGg6ez
