The floor of the NFL is not present. There is no low that this league and some of the people who cover it will stoop to. It is the only way to explain the attention surrounding Deshaun Watson and where he will end up playing next season.
The Houston Texans quarterback jumped to the top of the NFL's most wanted list last week after not taking the field for the entire season due to multiple allegations of sexual assualt.
It is definitely an emotional moment for me. After not speaking to reporters for over a year,Watson said that today is a big day and that they are far from being done of handling what they need to handle on the legal side. I would like to thank everyone that was a part of this. My team wanted to have a fair slate of us telling our side of the story and letting the grand jury decide.
I'm going to keep fighting to rebuild my name and appearance in the community. On the legal side, handle what we need to handle. Prepared to get on the field.
As soon as the decision was made, teams in need of a franchise quarterback started making calls, and media members that carry the league's water went to work. They ignored the civil suits that he is still facing, as if he was innocent. He was questioned in two of the cases this week. Nobody seems to care about that. The attention is focused on what team he will be playing for next season. There is a way to give context and updates on the legal matters that benched him for a season, despite what it looks like.
