Deshaun Watson is one of the NFL’s premier talents.
He’s young and is considered one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league, having recently signed an extension with the Houston Texans.
Since this past season came to a close, Watson requested a trade from the organization that drafted him in the first round of the draft in 2017.
Since then, things have not been going too well for Watson.
He has been accused of now over 20 counts of sexual harassment by different women across the country.
Since the allegations have started to come out, things have been getting even worse for Watson.
It started off with the first allegation in March. As the days went on, more women came forward and put their cases in with a lawyer.
Many of the women that have come forward are masseuses that Watson had hired before.
Watson has recently addressed the allegations and said that he has in fact had relations with his masseuses, but that he only did so when it was mutually consensual.
As for how this case will fare, we still do not know.
Judges on the case have recently stated that any of the plaintiffs need to disclose their names before any hearings will be held, but as the number of women stepping forward continues to grow, Watson’s case continues to plummet.
So while there was only a small chance that Watson would be suiting up in a Houston Texans jersey this upcoming season, it now seems as though Watson’s chances of suiting up at all next year are even lower.
