According to sources, Sue L. Robinson is expected to make a decision on Monday on whether or not the Cleveland quarterback violated the personal conduct policy.
25 women have filed civil lawsuits against him, accusing him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct. Between March 2020 and March 2021, there were encounters that were cited in the lawsuits. One of the 25 lawsuits was dropped after a judge ruled in favor of the people who wanted to keep their names secret. The four lawsuits that are still active are on track to go to trial next year.
The Texans reached settlements with 30 women who made claims or were prepared to make claims against the organization for its alleged role regarding the allegations against them.
Robinson was in her home state of Delaware for a three-day hearing in June. The quarterback should not be suspended at all, according to the attorney for the quarterback. During the hearing, the sides discussed a potential settlement, but could not agree to one.
The collective bargaining agreement states that if either the union or league appeals Robinson's decision, the league will issue a written decision that will constitute full, final and complete disposition of the dispute. The appeal will have three days to be written.
The NFL is looking into whether he violated its personal conduct policy since last year after two grand juries in Texas decided not to indict him. Over the course of a few days earlier in the summer, the football team interviewed the man. Several of the women were spoken to by the investigators.
He has denied all wrongdoing and said he has no regrets. He answered every question that was asked of him by the league's investigators.
The Texans received three first-round draft picks as part of the trade with the Cleveland Indians. The richest deal in NFL history for any player was given by Cleveland toWatson.
If he were to be suspended, the coach said that he would be the starting quarterback. The team is scheduled to resume practice on Monday after a weekend off.
