Will Deshaun Watson get a Ben Roethlisberger-style Punishment, or a Pass?

Saw this posted on FB yesterday. Not sure if it's true but if it is, the Texans should be dragged into this by at least the league, if not the attorney for the women. And, it looks (perception) a lot worse with using NDA's. He would have to get at least a year suspension. This just looks bad.

"According to a New York Times investigation, Deshaun Watson met a minimum of 66 women for massages over the course of 17 months.
The Texans gave him access to hotel rooms for massage appointments and provided him with nondisclosure agreements.
The Browns gave him a $250 million deal"
It's also been all over Twitter. He is approaching and surpassing Bill Cosby numbers. Does anyone know if the Browns can void his contract for any reason? I hope not.

Let them sink with that predator ship
 
If any of these accusations are true, I dont see how it doesnt qualify as sexual assault. Just exposing yourself can get you on the sex offender list and if the accusations are true Watson did much more. If John Doe had 24 people accusing him I dont see any way it doesnt go to a trial. Part of me wants to see Cleveland really get burned for being so stupid, but on the other hand I would hate to see a guy like Watson get paid so much.

Yes and no from what I’ve read. If the “new” claim is the reason for his suspension the. That could give them an out, as they knew of the other folks prior to said contract.

I would guess DW would sue if he was cut and they went after is fully guaranteed $$$. Either way popcorn time for da **** stains yet again.

They will beg Baker to play and if I was was him I would be happy to tell them to **** off.

What if they are false? What if he was going to a know rub and tug joint? Many out there. Supe will tell yea. I’d imagine many more in a big city.

Or maybe he likes playing John Holmes.
 
Regardless if the Browns have to pay him, they won’t get those draft picks back…. To be honest Goodell should null the whole trade then penalize the Browns by vacating all those picks exchanged for trying to circumvent the fine system for Watson

No to the null. I remember when the nba did that ****. Slippery slope imo.

Sure there is a chance they are false, but do you think an ordinary guy would stand a chance against 24 women in court? 24 are suing and some who are not part of the lawsuit made similar claims. If it was a known rub and tug joint then the workers know what to expect. If they do not like that then they should quit and turn the owners in. If you are expecting to give a legit massage and the guy is trying to force things on you that is a different story. Hopefully the truth will come out.

I think Baker has 18 or 19 mil at stake, would you tell them to **** off with that kind of money.? Just curious.....

I don't like the Browns anymore than you or anyone else here but there is a contingency (from what I read somewhere) that Baker could be liable for behavior detrimental to the team. No play / No pay

Thanks for all your great post(s) along the way

Baker for sure would play his *** off as he is looking for a new contract for new suitors. In The process he can always give the middle finger to the browns organization and throw them under the bus at every chance he gets

Jitter knows a lot about rubn'tugs
 
Who?
 
A. if the Browns did their due diligence and asked Watson about other things and he lied to them, then they probably have a legal out… same if that clown show running Houston purposefully covered up the severity and scope of the situation to sell them a fraudulent trade…

But even then The Browns are far from blameless, the set up a contract to circumvent league discipline and may have shortcutted the investigation into his issues to just get the trade done… whatever happens here is should make a lasting impression for future dumb****ery
 
I saw yesterday the Texans organization, among other people, will be brought into the civil suit per the attorney. Rog may not be able to make a decision on his suspension by the beginning of the season.

when they made the trade, there were already 22 accusations.
no way any legit FO would have pulled the trigger on that deal. Yeah, the Clowns could say that they were lied to, in order to get out of contractual obligations, but at the same time, 2 more accusations on top of the 22 known likely wouldn't have swayed their FO from making that trade.

Totally agree.

I find it EXTREMELY odd that Sir Watson isn't on the "commissioner's exempt list". Pot smokers get there easily but Cum-shot clowns must have to really work at it and I mean more than just the "tug"

So I am checking out the Browns boards over this … it’s comical meltdowns on all of them … a few things…
1 the funniest comment to date was about the Browns “ doing their homework on him” statement… someone aptly pointed out that people get F’s on homework all the time 😂
2. There are 24 current cases and another one pending… there were 66 different masseuses he used in the known timeframe… the lawyer has said that it was the tip of the iceberg… they expect a lot more accusations before the end of it

3. The best case scenario is he was just a huge perv… the worse is he did stuff that rises to sexual assault… he legitimately may not play again

4. The Browns probably have outs on the contract with what’s coming to light if they try to void it now… im not sure about the trade itself though … you’d have to think they knew he was getting suspended by the way they set the contract up…

5.( my opinion) There is no way the Browns should get out of every thing scot free… they made some horrible mistakes and at best should be docked several draft picks if the trade were nullified…

The reality is the Browns starter is more than likely going to be Brissett at season start lol
 
"Cleveland’s public-relations headache intensified on Tuesday when the team — apparently coincidentally — invited fans on Twitter to participate in a question-and-answer session just minutes after The Times published its investigation. “We’re taking your #BrownsMailbag questions,” the invitation said.

After fans savaged the team in the replies, the Browns deleted the post."

Get **** on by their own fans because they, in all likelihood have ****** up again, and delete the post from their website ... Sounds like the Browns.
 
Nothing surprises me when it comes to the clevelan browns

A-N-D

A couple of hours ago The Browns doubled down on Watson, stating that there was no intention of seeking to nullify the trade or contract… they are sticking with him

There is speculation that they might be in too deep to try to get out now… the whole situation is spiraling so fast that its just the epitome of all things Browns now…
 
I did the podcast on this very thing last night.

Browns are ******. The $230M contract is FULLY GUARANTEED! They can't get out of it. They lost 3 firsts a 3rd, 4th, and 3rd over this year and the next 2 years.

Baker is also not playing, and doesn't have to because his $18M 5th year option is ALSO fully guaranteed. He sat out OTAs, and was given an "excused absence' from mandatory minicamp. He will never play another down in CLE

Time to see if Dobbs can beat out Brisket for the staring QB job there!

 
Release the texts to 66 women. I predict he's gone for a year.
