20 of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Deshaun Watson were officially dismissed last week, after confidential settlements were reached. Further details have emerged regarding the remaining four women with outstanding allegations against the Browns quarterback. 
[RELATED: Browns Didn’t Foresee Possible Year-Long Watson Suspension]
USA Today’s Brent Schrotenboer details each of those claims, which include those made by two of the women who have publicly identified themselves. Lauren Baxley’s suit alleges that Watson exposed himself to her during a massage session in June 2020, making it similar to that of Ashley Solis. Their allegations and identities first went public last April, and they “were considered the two plaintiffs closest to going to trial,” Schrotenboer notes. The two other remaining suits filed by unidentified women include the one who is now suing the Texans for their role in allowing Watson’s behavior to take place.
Schrotenboer writes that if Watson is suspended for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy, that could change the schedule on which the pending civil trials take place. There is currently an agreement in place requiring all parties involved to wait until after the NFL season ends for litigation to begin; however, a Watson ban preventing him from seeing the field in the fall could lead the parties to “change that agreement and go to trial” much sooner.
A report from FOX8 states that the legal team representing the four plaintiffs is attempting to obtain a significant number of items related to the case. Included among those are “all reports, investigation files, records, recorded interviews, written interviews, witness statements and communications” detailing the NFL’s investigation into Watson, which was independent of the ongoing legal proceedings he is facing. The attorneys, led by Tony Buzbee, have also filed to obtain surveillance footage from the Houstonian Hotel, the location of many of Watson’s encounters from which his sexual assault/sexual misconduct allegations stem.
Another noteworthy request made by the motion is for the transcript of Watson’s hearing where arguments made by the NFL and NFLPA were weighed by Sue Robinson on the matter of a potential suspension and its length. The three-day process concluded last week, and her decision (followed by, in all likelihood, an appeal) will be the next step in this process. Regardless of that outcome, Watson will still face a serious legal challenge, pending further settlements.
Third down and long, the masseurs have been penetrated, and the pampered athlete signed a 300m contract w one of the worst franchises in professional sports over the last 40 years. It’s a bold move cotton, let’s see how it plays out for them
Consensual penetration apparently
Here’s Watson’s little sister chiming in again. Sucks to only have the Browns going for you in life.
That’s all you have Barney? You can’t dispute the facts. Watson may not even be suspended. He will play football this year
He won’t play this year. When he does play I don’t see him as effective as before. He’s bound to be mentally and physically disconnected after all this. I’m sure he isn’t getting any massages now or anytime soon. Plus he’s now in the AFC North, a MUCH tougher division than the one he came from. Hope you’re not setting you’re expectations too high.
That dude is high…. As are his expectations
Wrong. Let’s bet
In what world is he not getting suspended? He will be extremely lucky to see the field this season.
You don’t know the facts. Stop acting like you do. You just care that he’s the QB of your team which is pathetic. Get a life. Find someone. Stop defending a sexual deviant because your life sucks so bad that the Browns are the only thing you have going.
I follow this more than anyone on here. Look up Mike Florio’s July 1st video about this. It’ll will open your eyes, but you won’t because you want to stay stupid on this matter. Florio was a lawyer for 20 years and he says he won’t be surprised if Watson doesn’t get any punishment. The NFL had no proof. Sue Robinson is a judge. Proof is what matters to her. She doesn’t care about public opinions. She only cares about proof and truth. No suspension…or very little. Deal with it
My life is great. I’m retired and financially well off. I have my health and my hair. And I have a loaded football team that I root for. If Watson wants to proposition women for happy endings, I don’t care about his personal life. He hasn’t committed a crime
You can’t proof he has committed a crime but he has. If not why oh 20 of them? If not why did so many come forward?
Why was he never charged? Not one criminal case out of 24. Do you believe in proof? Witnesses? You have nothing but your opinion and opinions don’t convict. Thanks for playing
What proof is even possible? Would you expect a masseuse to record her sessions? It was a he said she said from the getgo. It’s why he picked these victims.
You could have text messages, police reports immediately after. You know when you continue to see Watson, it kinda hurts your case. Apparently, the NFL only used 5 women’s testimony in their presentation. Why do you think that is? And they still didn’t prove their case, according to Florio.
Text messages like where he apologizes cuz those exist. Many women don’t go to the police right after. Those who continue to see him talk about an escalation of issues that led to them stopping to work with him.
He apologized that she was upset but not for an assault. If he apologized for an assault, he’d been arrested and charged. Mike Florio has probably investigated this more than any writer or analyst. Do yourself a favor and listen to what he has to say. He has no dog in the fight.
Interesting so expect a text of him apologizing for sexually assaulting someone then? Cuz you said text was the possible evidence. What idiot would have done that
I’ve never had to apologize to any women I have hooked up with.
Both of them?
He wasn’t charged because he is a black Democrat with money.
If he had committed a crime, or if there was evidence of said “crime” the grand jury would of indicted him. He a moral idiot for sure.
Liar, this dude is bald AF and everyone know it.
I had my picture up here but had too many dudes hitting on me
No more scandals, Brownsbacker will be giving Watson his happy endings from now on.
Again homophobic. No dudes were hitting on you and even if any did u simply decline and move on.
There was one guy who kept mentioning licking sack on every one of his posts to me. He’s blocked. I don’t play childish games. I think he was getting off
Congrats on your financial and personal success! I saw a study recently that showed most successful and happy individuals do spend every waking minute of their lives trolling internet forums with a gazillion posts a day.
This is the only story on here that I comment on. I see a lot of people commenting on every article. Like I said, I’m retired. I have more time than most on here. Plus I get a notification the minute someone responds to my post. I read it and I respond back.
Congrats on having your hair, so much in life is riding on that.
He shouldn’t ever see the field again
Haha. For what? Asking for sex? You do realize him and Kraft both received massages with happy endings.
Kraft did but Watson is accused of sexual assault. See the difference
Is he? I’m not sure that’s the case.
What facts? Nothing is fact at this point because nothing has been determined in court. I’ll eat my shorts if any evidence comes out to clear him.
You really don’t know how the law works. It’s not guilty until proven innocent. It’s innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is on the women or their lawyer. Watson doesn’t have to prove a darn thing. No offense to just you, but there’s a lot of uneducated people on here
You didn’t expect Fudgepacker9 to sit this one out did you?
I think refraining from homophobic name calling is a good option here.
Wow.Drop your pants in front of someone who rubs naked bodies down every day for a living and get sued. Heck,just accusing is good enough.Let’s round up a posse and hang him.
Does Watson even have a girl friend? And how does he go through the rest of his life with this kink? It rhymes with stink.
Surely opponents are going to trash talk him into the ground?
It will be interesting how he handles the fallout. Do the Browns have a “no unsupervised massages” in his contract?
Ya he has a girlfriend she’s famous and shameless apparently
“Oh, you want to sue the person that sexually assaulted you? Well, you have to wait until the end of the football season so he can go play a child’s game for millions of dollars first because he’s somewhat good at it and he just got PAID a LOT of money to be good for a darling team the NFL wants to do well.”
You think that would work for anyone else?
Excuse me, you can’t sue me until my year long employment with 7-11 is over.
It really is amazing. I got in a little trouble in my younger years. The government didn’t care about my work schedule. I had to miss a lot of work to go to trial resets. It’s amazing what millions of dollars can do.
Difference between civil and criminal trials. Lots more options in a civil trial. They didn’t have to agree to wait just chose (agreed to it)
Oh, I am sure there were some agreement$ made to hold off suing him until after the football season was over.
Still, it shouldn’t have even been on the table.
I remember the government doing the same thing to jail time for Rafael Furcal. He got to serve it after the Braves were knocked out of the playoffs. The government doesn’t give that right to normal citizens.
Or have some other kind of privilege.
Watson has probably been like this his whole life, it didn’t just start when he began playing Pro Ball
#Moron
PS As for the Browns, it’s like that line in Star Wars: Who is the Fool, the Fool or the person who follows the Fool
Watson will play football this year. Guaranteed. You really need to follow the facts of the case. May I suggest watching Mike Florio’s July 1st video. He lays out the facts. Do you know the NFL only used 5 of the women’s testimony? And still they were unable to show evidence of force, violence, threat or coercion. Florio said Watson’s lawyers didn’t do a good job of pushing back on the accusations. Watson has lost in the court of public opinion.
How many times have you been accused of sexual assault? Seems like you know a lot about the subject
I can read and comprehend what I read. Try it sometime.
Come on, man the optics are terrible on this
Watson is a sleaze bag, no matter what the facts are, the optics are terrible
Lots of players are sleaze bags. Do we suspend them for that? I’ve said all along that Watson is a perv but does it rise up to a suspension? Kraft is a perv too. I believe Brady left his pregnant girlfriend for Giselle. Isn’t that kinda sleazy?
Waiting to hear 24 women accuse any of those others of sexual assault . . . This is typical but what about them bs but you aren’t using similar cases.
Kraft is very similar. Massage turns into happy ending
No Kraft was accused of soliciting which is the point of many should be legal. Watson is accused of sexual assault. That’s like comparing simple assault to murder. Understand now
Are you one that wants solicitation to be legal? Wow!!
Why not? Tell me the difference between buying dinner and drinks to get it vs an agreed upon price. It seems to work fine in places like Nevada Amsterdam and Australia.
The response was that Watson is a sleaze bag. I said lots of sleaze bags. Who is your team?
It doesn’t matter. Comparing cheating to sexual assault is horrendous
Accused sexual assault. He wasn’t charged with anything. Why don’t you get that part? Lots of people are accused of stuff. Who is your team?
I don’t see why my team matters. Seems to be driving you nuts that you can’t deflect this lol. Btw Kraft had his charges dropped so yeah my analogy still stands.
Why is your team a secret?
Why does it matter? Watson is the topic and played for Texans and now the browns. Any other team is irrelevant. You are gonna simply gonna go “o well this player did this.” I can honestly tell you my team has not had a player that was publicly accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women. I can honestly say that if they did I would not follow them anymore.
Why are people afraid of saying who their team is? I don’t understand that. Watson will play football this year and you’ll still be a coward
This guy believes OJ Simpson is innocent
Of course you would quote Star Wars. I bet you dress up like a character when you go to see the movie. There’s definitely a lot of geeks on here
@BB9
LMAO…. plus you followed me …….so what does that say
I followed you? I don’t know what that means. I respond to your posts. I didn’t know you could follow people on here. It’s not Facebook or Instagram, both which I don’t use. Are you wearing your Darth Vader pajamas still?
It was Joke BB9 and in way you can follow on here because of the little red bell notification
I wish an the Trade Rumor sites had it.
Cleveland fans ought to consider boycotting Browns home games. The ticket and concession money you spend helps pay Watson’s GUARANTEED $230 million contract. Do you want to support Watson, much of whose paycheck will go to pay off the women be violated in settlements?
Or not
Have you put windows in your parents basement yet?
Barney. My parents are deceased. I’m 62
Barney is only asking because he keeps asking his mom if she’ll get a window in the basement for him. Then he can see if she cut the crust off his PB&J or not.
Absolutely. It is amazing what a huge chunk of the fanbase can do. Just like in Baltimore after the Ravens went to Europe and knelt for the American anthem and stood for England’s. They came back home to a less than half filled stadium for the rest of the season and a chorus of boos when they trotted out onto the field. The Ravens took out full page articles in the Baltimore Sun asking why the fans weren’t coming out. They said, “Is it because we’re not winning?! We promise we’ll win again. PLEASE COME BACK!”
They knew why. The whole NFL knew why. That’s why they stopped with the whole kneeling thing and tampered down their political speech for part of the next season. Only to open right back up and double down again.
The NFL needs to not be a thing anymore. All of the major sports leagues need to fail. There is no them without us. They seem to have forgotten.
TV money helps cover player payroll. Ticket and concession money helps cover apparatchiks and upkeep.
Why do you think they get that TV money? To just broadcast the game into thin air?
Is defending anything Browns/Watson related Bronsbacker’s full-time job? He really should be getting paid at this point.
It’s obviously Deshaun Watson. or possibly Florio. Trying to change the narrative one football rumor at a time.
Browns PR burner account
He’s either the Browns PR department, Deshaun Watson, Mike Florio, or just a troll.
Nobody can be this delusional.
I don’t think so, but apparently several people here have the full-time job of following him around and insulting him everytime he posts, sometimes even when he hasn’t posted. Seriously got nothing better to do with your time?
Thank you. Watson doesn’t play for their team. Guarantee you that they have someone on their team that has done things illegal. Watson hasn’t.
Hi Brownsbacker. Maybe if you didn’t make such insulting and revolting posts, nobody would have anything to say.
Remember – The Browns traded significant draft capital and committed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege of being involved in this mess! That just blows my mind.
I thought I heard a little pop
I think the noise you heard is the Brows season imploding before it even began.
Brows? I can’t even take a guy seriously that doesn’t know how to spell
Typo obviously. Poor comeback.
This is the Browns. They can’t help themselves. They once again have a good QB, a good team, actually made the playoffs and won a playoff game….and they shoot themselves in the foot with this completely idiotic move.
Anybody else smelling the fart in the wind that Goodell is giving out to NFL insiders to lesson the outrage when the standard 6 game suspension is handed out?
Watson shouldn’t be able to play UNTIL all of his legal matters are cleared up and only when his suspension is applied after the fact.
“hAve yOu SeEn flOrIO’s tWeEt?”
Didn’t read his tweet but I read his article on the subject in which he really seems to be shilling hard for Watson.
He tries to bury this interesting and very important piece of information when comparing Watson’s situation to Kraft’s.
“The difference, of course, is that the evidence against Watson ultimately centers on the fact that he allegedly tried, repeatedly, to make massages into sexual encounters. Kraft was never accused of doing that, by anyone.”
Yeah Mike, that is a pretty HUGE difference. Kind of hard to convict somebody of a crime if nobody ever accused you of committing one.
He also seems to leave something out. If you hire somebody and pay them for a massage, but your intent is to have sex with them, you are paying them for sex, which is prostitution, and that is illegal.
premeditated solicitation angle? is that even a thing?
He’s not hiring them for a massage…..
I am surprised Brownsbacker hasn’t been on here yet to make excuses for Watson. The best one is since so many women accepted Watson’s advances it couldn’t be that bad. So because these girls were easy the ones that didn’t accept were prudes. They should have gladly accepted his advances because all the girls should have been honored to be assaulted by this perv.
I hadn’t really thought about it this way until this article. It kind of said duh it is so obvious. The girls that said no should have said yes because he is a famous athlete. What girl would not want to have sex with him? You have to wonder how many were afraid of saying no to him. The amount of women he did this to makes him a sexual predator. You can’t say that a serial rapist is innocent because more girls didn’t report him. Brownsbacker will have an excuse for him and if he can live with himself defending a sexual predator you be you. Not sure how anyone could support him after this. I would hope he is a troll and not serious. I guess there are guys would put the welfare of their team over that of women he will never meet. I am glad to see so many guys here defending these women and not defending the NFL player to be named as the perv from here on out. If he needs sex so bad and can’t find a women for himself hire an escort who will stay the night with him. There are a lot of ways to hire a date for the night if he is too shy to pick up girls the way us mere mortals do.
Dude, you really need help. You have it bad.
I will need to see proof. I’m not supporting Watson, I’m just not convicting him. Apparently, proof means nothing to you. God help you if someone accusing you of anything. I would hope that you would want them to provide proof before you get sentenced
We already established no proof can be shown. It’s he said she said. No masseuses record sessions and Watson isn’t dumb enough to admit to doing it.
Ok. So you still want to kick a guy out of the league with no proof? That would be a great way for a team to get rid of rival quarterbacks.
There was proof – he settled 20 of the 24 cases. If he wasn’t guilty he wouldn’t have settled those cases and would have went to court and have been found not guilty if he wasn’t but he was so he settled like the criminal he is. I hope he never sees the football field again. What kind of person is this for young kids to look up too.
Hopefully as a parent, you have more influence on your kids than a football player. Sad if you don’t. Athletes do all kinds of stuff you don’t want your kids doing. Drugs, DUI, Steroids, flipping off fans, and the list goes on.
There was a rather famous incident where and Alabama Crimson Tide football player was alleged to have beaten his then girlfriend and he was facing suspension from a championship game. The girl’s father convinced her not to press charges against him so that he could play the game.
After further research, I found out it was Courtney Upshaw…doesn’t surprise me. I had an incident with him myself and one of his buddies in college.
POS – they all should be suspended and never touch the field again. But there are people like Brownsbacker9 that think Watson walks on water because he is a Browns fan. Watson is a slime ball and needs to go to jail and get exactly why he dished out to those girls inside prison.
Still think he gets a conditional suspension based on criteria he has to meet.
Something to the tune of
17 games
knock off 4 games if he does a rehab stint for his behavior and sees a therapist/psychologist regularly
knock off 3 games if he does an apology tour and donates x% of his salary the next 5 years to charities
knock off 2 games if he signs a legal binding agreement to only hire male masseurs
All in all he gets 9 games knocked off a 17 game season and sits 8 games.
Mike Vick had dogs fighting to the death for entertainment and still found his way back to the NFL cause of his talent. Guaranteed people will be upset with how little of a suspension Watson gets, but its the NFL, its a business, and like any business profit comes before morals. Its not the NFLs or any businesses job to do what the criminal justice system should have done in the first place.
So why do you think the criminal justice system didn’t do anything to him?
My point wasn’t about if he should or shouldn’t be charged with a crime.
My point was people need to stop expecting a business to punish a player if they feel the criminal justice system didn’t do its job, according to them.
The league will punish him in accordance to what their rules say, even less. Nothing more nothing less.
Exactly. Robinson is a judge and she’s handling the case. If the Grand Juries didn’t have enough evidence to indict, how much evidence does the NFL have? She will rule on evidence if he violated the Code of Conduct.
Vick went to jail on charges of perjury and because of what he did went across state lines which made it a federal offense.
Little known secret, Vick owed LOTS of money to some very powerful people. That’s why he got that big contract after serving his prison sentence.
You people that think the NFL is going to go for anything more than a token suspension have not been paying attention. NFL players are allowed to treat women worse than dogs in today’s world.
BB PFT was a hack message board. I started following it after he made a name for himself after he predicted a huge trade. I found out after being on it for awhile he was a blind squirrel. I stayed because he would respond to posts that disagreed with him. Then he would boot you if he couldn’t prove you wrong. I had my share of new names on there. I left after he was picked up by CBS. He got a big head and then stopped replying so it lost its luster.
His legal expertise was labor law not a prosecutor or defense lawyer. He learned a little of that in law school but I am sure most of his classes were on labor laws. He could have brushed up on them but still no expert. I will find his article and read it but I would guess it was the same thing he did on PFT. Come up with a controversial side of an argument and have people like you run with it. He is writing an opinion piece to be controversial and you take it as gospel.
I wrote this earlier that he had 26 women accuse him of sexual assault but more accepted his offer. The women who accepted his offer were easy or wanted to brag about sleeping with him. The fact that he did this with more women is a bit of proof. He is a serial perv.
You ever follow rape cases? If the women didn’t go and get a rape kit done right after they had little to no proof. It is why only a portion of them contact the cops. Usually after friends talk them into it. They feel shame and it was their fault among other feelings. What I am getting at is the proof is in 26 women who all had a varying degree of the same story and how many more had accepted his perv way of hitting on women is proof in itself.
As for the Grand Jury there are twelve people on it in Texas they need 3 to say not guilty. The GJ was in Texas probably in Houston I didn’t look that up. How many people in Houston would not want their pro bowl QB not to be indicted? The GJ is not infallible they are like any group of people they have differing values and prejudices. Taking that as he is not guilty is a weak argument. The most damning evidence is the amount of women that he has done this to. You go on and protect this perv because he plays for your team. If your questionable ethics allow you to do that then good for you. By the way I have a full head of hair I have enough money to live on and am permanently disabled. Not sure how that is relevant though. I am younger than you though I am just 61.
The Grand Juries wanted to protect their star quarterback? He said he wasn’t playing for them ever again. It was a foregone conclusion that he was going to be traded. If anything, they would want revenge. Personally, I have more faith in people taking their jury duty seriously. As for rape, he was never accused of rape. Does Watson have a problem with massages? Of course he does. I still don’t believe he forced anyone. Why did the NFL only use the testimony of 5 women? You do know that quite a few of these women continued to give him massages. Why? You bash Florio but I’m sure he has more law experience than you. I’ll also bet that he knows more facts of the case than you do. I realize you want Watson to be guilty and sentenced to life without football. It’s just not gonna happen and you’ll have to live with that. Who’s your team? Or are you gonna be like the rest of the cowards on here that won’t answer that question
Why do you think everyone has to have a “team “? Many have out grown emotional fan attachments. Gambling fuels the NFL.
I root for the Seattle Seahawks and am proud of it. Have no idea why it matters. Unless you are going to try and deflect your ignorant opinion on me because a Seattle player did something. I will help you. Brian Blades and his brother Bennie went into an office with their cousin. The cousin was shot with a shotgun. The two that walked said they didn’t shoot him. They kept playing and I stopped rooting for him wanted him cut. That is the worst anyone has done on our team. Bennett never liked Graham never liked. I can’t sit blindly and root for these guys.
As for the rape comment you need to take some of your advice and use some reading comprehension. I never said he raped anyone I used it as an example about evidence. You also still don’t understand assault or refuse to acknowledge it. When he placed his penis in the one girls hand that was assault when he masterbaited that is spelled wrong you might have to help me on that you are probably single and have been your whole life. You have a really bad opinion of women. The time when he asked the girl to run his groin and got an erection not sure but could be abuse. I also never said I know more of the law than Florio I did say this isn’t his expertise. You don’t go to a divorce court judge to try a murder case. They all have areas of expertise a judge would have to have a bit more knowledge than an attorney. You twist and turn everyone’s words to help you prove your point. You sir are either a troll or are pretty much morally corrupt.
I have been single my whole life. Worked a lot and then took care of an aging parent that I moved in with me until she passed away at 95 years old. I didn’t date when she lived with me. I’ve made up for it. The only women that may have a bad opinion are the ones that I stopped seeing. I actually have been great to women. Generous, honest and I’ve never cheated. I may be too honest with them
More like he would ban you if you proved him wrong and he couldn’t debate you. I had a lot of back and forths with him when I was in the business.
I lost a lot of respect for him when he basically became Kaep’s white knight.
Yeah the proving him wrong was the easy part especially when he talked about Seattle. Not sure if he could find Washington on a map. Then his bold predictions where funny. The Kap crap got old. I would pop in and read his stuff. You would have thought he was his attorney the way he protected him.
The mute button works great on brownsbacker just saying. . .
Lol I think he is kind of fun. I have nothing to do so might as well feed the troll and see what BS he will try and spin next.
Seattle? Sounds like you’re not going to have much to do this football season except profile draft picks. Damn I’m smooth
