Like he has a choice now.

Several of his accusers are submitting evidence and signed affidavits to the Houston district attorney on Monday.

Buzzbee is requesting a criminal grand jury as well.

This trade stuff is over.

You can bet your ass had Watson never demanded a trade that this crap would have never come out until well after his career was over.  

This is Houston's way of saying, If he doesn't play for us, he'll play for no one.   I have no doubt this was started by the Texan organization, none whatsoever. 

If the women produce evidence, Watson will be destroyed.   I'm glad we didn't trade for him and then Houston put this out.

there can be two wrong parties in a single event. it's too early to call what exactly deshaun's issue is/was, but it's not with the lawyer representing these women on a case he would have NEVER pursued if not for trying to gain favor from the McNair family and further cement his alleged friendship. he's the same idiot that posted all those billboards about drafting johnny manziel around houston. someone that invested and with that many conflicting interests should recuse themselves instead of collecting allegations via instagram. he's a hack. if there's any heat to this at all he needs to be excused from the case by the judges. the timing is entirely slanderous and the way it was timed almost seems like it was done in concert with the Texans who probably whistled for him before these dogs got released and he didn't change his position. if all this amounts to is a bunch of women being solicited for sex and showing up voluntarily and having consensual sex they later decided was coerced, it's going to be a damn shame. but if you lay with dogs, you tend to get fleas. if you go digging around instagram for broke but beautiful women as someone worth $100 million in this day and time, your judgment needs to be brought into question. if that was how he wanted to get down he should have been smart enough to print out a stack of non-disclosure agreements and sex contracts to protect him against this exact thing. if the stories are authentic as told then he obviously needs to be punished to the extent of the crime, but what a grimy ass way to play it,.

I'm no fan of the Texans' ownership and I get why they're hated, but the OP's article lays out a pretty clear case that the team holds all the cards in this standoff.  Watson will be forced to play this season if he hopes to avoid taking an extremely significant financial hit.

So why would the Texans ruin Deshaun's reputation/future to play in the NFL, when all they have to do is wait for him to cave due to financial pressure or trade him for a boatload of picks/players?

Attacking Deshaun's reputation while he's under contract would likely destroy both of those options.  It would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

      The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.

      I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
