The Browns were and are extremely desperate. They think they have a good team and are trying to find that QB that Mayfield didn’t turn out to be.

They are so desperate that not only did they give up the draft picks and new big contract, but they have him an unprecedented first of a kind fully guaranteed contract which they must have known was going to piss of the rest of the owners for doing so.

The most desperate move I can ever think of in the NFL. Even more so than they Ricky Williams trade lol
If he spends another season suspended...he might not be the same QB ever again. Not competing is like not driving a car for 2 years. Lol

I had not thought about that, but yeah 2 years on the shelf is considerable.

How did he think no one would find out sooner or later that he sexually assaulted 24 women?

What are the chances a guy like that won't do it again?
How did he sexually assault 24 women, but 2 separate Grand Jury's, in different counties didn't indict him?

No one knows what happened and the evidence is obviously weak because the grand jury declined to indict. The morals shock of this country (over a happy ending) is hilarious after voting in a president in 2016 who admitted sexually assaulting women on video.

I love how people just say guilty, although he was not indicted twice
OJ was found innocent too, but we know he did it.

Hell, a little shit from Illinois named Kyle Rittenhouse came up here to Wisconsin and murdered two people with an illegal gun, and he got off. Bad guys go free every day.

The American criminal justice system would rather 10 guilty men be set free than 1 innocent man be found guilty.

None of us can pass judgment on that standard until you are wrongly convicted.

That is what really makes me pause.

I don't think it is beyond belief that Watson enjoyed the services of women who do that sort of thing for cash and now are cashing in.

I am not playing blame the victim here, I am just observing that in a couple separate occasions a group of citizens decided there was not compelling enough evidence to take him to trial...or there was evidence that discredited their claims.

...which leaves Watson pretty screwed.
He is in a fucked up situation where he has to tacitly admit to habitually using prostitutes or find some other way to explain what went down.

Either way, he is screwed.

They are probably all gunning for arbitration and sealed settlements.

Just as I don't think its beyond belief that he also visited legitimate massage therapists and tried to coax them into sexual services.
I don't disagree.

At the end of the day I think the reason I am content to wait and see is the grand jury thing.

It doesn't take much to make a grand jury say "there is a strong enough reason to take this to trial".

I mean, after all we are talking about Texas. A state that has an obscenity statute which makes it illegal to own more than 6 dildos.

There must have been some mitigating circumstances that prevented a random selection of citizens from saying "go for it" twice.

At this point, he probably didn't break any laws. Is he a creep? Yes. Glad he never suited up here.

Pretty sure those grand juries were only involved in 10 of the 24 women as well. You dont have 24 women accusing you of something if you didn't do something inappropriate. 1? Sure. Even 2 or 3. But 24? Where there's smoke there is fire and his lawyers comments don't help his image either

The Texans owner definitely got what he wanted. He wanted to ruin Watson, mission accomplished, and also get a jackpot of draft picks as well. Leave it up to one few organizations that are a bigger joke than the Bears to trade for this creep.

That right there is a major line of horse shit. Thousands upon thousands of people have been wrongly convicted of crimes and sent to prison in this country. And a majority of lawyers and judges who send them there absolutely do not give a ****. The justice system in this country is a fucking joke. If you're a lower or middle class citizen in this country and certain people want you to go to prison you will absolutely go there. It's fucking scary.
