Not sure if this article has been linked, but here is Joe Brady’s 1st interview since being hired An opportunity too good to pass up': Why Joe Brady couldn't say no to working with QB Josh Allen and the Bills https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/an-opportunity-too-good-to-pass-up-why-joe-brady-couldnt-say-no-to-working/article_3fbfcf20-e416-11ec-a97c-8ff5250afd04.html

Yes he flew one one from Georgia

I still can’t believe we added him to this defense, which was #1 in points and yards allowed last year.

Text, Snapchat, Instagram DM, etc whatever he used to communicate with them (he used all of these per the accusations) doesn’t matter - his own lawyer already told on him yesterday. The only thing his lawyer is denying anymore is that what he did can be prosecuted as a crime according to the specific statutes in those 2 Texas counties.

Right so Watson apparently lied at his press conference about this too if we believe his lawyers. Jimmy and Dee Haslam, Andrew Berry, and anyone else involved with making this decision flat out don't care how awful this is. They'd rather win football games (if they actually do, the man won 4 games the last season he played). What in the actual hell.

I’m still in amazement Watson's LAWYER went on a radio show and said basically "So what if he asked for sex during his massaged? That's not a crime." This entire situation is about showing Watson has a pattern of hiring massage therapists and then asking them to have sex with him. Lordy...

Nice! He will be great on the broadcast. Way better than Brady.

Gettleman (probably)

Sounds like Webb will really up against it when he races him every day before practice

Several. He got massages from a personal trainer, makeup artist, esthetician, stretch therapist, a massage therapy student, and someone who does body scrubs. All suing him. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/03/deshaun-watson-lawsuits-a-look-at-the-accusations-against-new-cleveland-browns-quarterback.html?outputType=amp

The investigation on the 10 criminal complaints is closed so my understanding is that a new one would need to be filed in order for that to be re-introduced (ie possibility of incarceration) A Harris County, TX grand jury declined to indict and charge Watson after he invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege not to self-incriminate. A 2nd Texas grand jury, in Brazoria County, also declined to indict (Nine charges were filed in Harris County and one in Brazoria County because of the location of the alleged crimes) not much is known about these criminal cases and the grand jury due to Texas law https://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/2022/04/why-wasnt-deshaun-watson-charged-what-prosecutors-needed-to-file-charges.html

In other NYG news… did these 2 ever grace Key Bank Center? Sabres could have used them

I wouldn’t be surprised if McDermott doesn’t care about PED usage outside of it affecting availability. Compared to recreational drugs which I think he would abhor, I bet he sees it as being all in on being committed to football performance. Clearly just my own opinion.

Lets go Jess!!!

“In conclusion, if he continues to look like he has the first 3 years it will be due to a complete absence of talent. And possibly ***** terrible coaching” …*holds finger to ear* “What’s that? Joe Judge is working with Mac Jones now?”

Tyrod feels left out

I picture Watson researching attorneys when he was first sued: “Ah! This one gets it. Hired.”

It doesn’t matter if it’s “illegal”, to the nfl, in deciding whether to suspend due to violation of personal conduct policy. However he’s being accused of forced “happy endings” - not consensual

I’m not crying for him either as an average person, but can understand why he would want traded as soon as possible. All players regardless of how much they’ve earned are going to have the goal to maximize their future earnings. The nflpa would probably agree and his agent is probably holding the browns feet to the fire as they wade through this ***** storm

It’s one year and nothing guaranteed beyond that. He’s what, 26? It does suck if he’s twisting in the wind and no idea what the future holds on his next team. Not saying he’s not partly responsible for this situation - if he played better, he would still be the browns starting QB on a long term deal and reportedly was offered one last year and turned it down. But the browns are also to blame for not having a sound strategy to deal mayfield when they went after Watson. They let him find out they were all in on him via social media, he put out the goodbye letter, Watson knocked cleveland out of his final trade partners, browns panicked and gave him the desperate deal tacking on an extra year of control knowing he likely faced suspension. Now they have a disgruntled QB with locker room toxicity who wants out but will cost them money to do so let along getting squat in return … and an alleged sexual predator as the face of the franchise who didn’t want to be there in the first place and likely doesn’t suit up anytime soon, who they guaranteed $230 mill. i think if Cleveland could go back in time, they would not have gone back and pursued Watson after he dropped them from consideration. And I think Watson also may regret the situation he’s in as he didn’t want to play in the cold, is in a brutal division, and has to deal with the Baker situation. There is a big chunk of the fan base who are Baker Bros and still thinks he should be the guy. Every piece of news that drips out about Watson makes them louder. Had he gone with Atlanta, Matt Ryan would be gone and he’d be at home and in a bad division.

Yep, that’s why he would need to technically be there but not participate if they agree to that.

Browns are holding him hostage right now, because reportedly teams are willing to trade for him if Browns pick up some of the salary and they won’t do it. They are waiting to find out how long Watson is suspended or if a team loses a QB and gets desperate. Sure they are entitled to this from a pure business sense but it’s a terrible look to players around the League. Mayfield knows he’s done in Cleveland and would want to latch on somewhere as soon as possible so he can start learning the offense, etc. so he has the best chance to be successful in a year where nothing is guaranteed beyond 2022 for him. mandatory minicamp is coming - I assume the browns will tell him to show up so he’s not fined but not participate? So bizarre.
