The lawsuits against the quarterback will soon be joined by the Houston Texans organization and others as defendants, according to Tony Buzbee.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the non-disclosure agreement that was given to some of the people was from the Texans' director of security. Several of the massages took place at The Houstonian hotel, where the Texans gave a hotel room.
"What has become clear is that the Houston Texans organization and their contracting'massage therapy company' were involved in Deshaun's conduct." The Texans gave the chance for this conduct to happen. The Texans organization was aware of the issues but didn't do anything about them. They should have been aware.
We want to make sure that all involved in the conduct of the man are held accountable.
The Texans did not respond to the allegations in the New York Times story, but have said in several statements that they were not aware of the quarterback's actions until the first lawsuit was filed.
There were 23 lawsuits filed against him. The judge ruled that each petition had to be amended to include the names of the people who sued. There were two more lawsuits filed against the man last week.
The NFL is looking into whether the quarterback violated its code of conduct after he was interviewed in person last month by the league. At the league's spring meeting, Roger Goodell said he thought the league was nearing the end of its investigation but couldn't give a timetable for when a ruling would be made.
After the first grand jury decided not to indict him, Houston traded him to Cleveland.
All wrongdoing has been denied by the man.
He spoke to the media for the first time since he joined the Cleveland Browns. I have never mistreated any woman in my life.
