The Texans’ already-dramatic offseason took a sudden and serious turn in mid-March, when Houston attorney Tony Buzbee announced in an Instagram post that he was filing suit against Deshaun Watson. Since then, Buzbee has filed more than 20 civil lawsuits accusing the Texans quarterback of sexual assault and sexual misconduct, and the NFL and the Houston Police Department are conducting investigations.
Through a social media post and his attorney, Watson has denied any wrongdoing.
Watson already had been a hot topic of the NFL offseason because he requested a trade less than a year after the Texans gave him a $156 million extension that has him under contract for the next five seasons. Where his career heads will depend upon how the legal process and the NFL’s investigation unfold.
