The Deshaun Watson and NFL legal saga is not about to end any time soon. While the hearings and deliberations are over, a decision on the quarterback's suspension has not yet been made.

Watson also plans to sue the league if they suspend him for an entire season or more.

This ordeal involves more than just the quarterback though. The Cleveland Browns have played a role, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the Houston Texans may have enabled Watson's behavior.

On the Ross Tucker podcast, Andrew Brandt and the titular host discussed the Texans' potential role:

"The lawsuits outstanding against them. Right? You don't just pay because I don't know, like, what is it they're paying for? Just on some level there, they are acknowledging wrongdoing, right? Now judging that they did aid and abet in some way."

Brandt responded, saying that the NFL team arranged for hotel rooms for Watson:

"That's my point. And Jenny Vrentas, in New York Times was on my podcast. And I know, she was a little hesitant, but I'm like, wait, what? They arranged for rooms at the Houston hotel and other things."

He went on to say that it gets even worse:

"And then of course, as people have talked about, the NDA provided by the security employee of the Texans, wow, I mean, NDA to do what? Like? In other words, we don't need to question to do what we need to question."
The Texans knew about the accusations regarding Watson, but instead of reporting it they provided him with an NDA to have future victims sign.

According to Brandt, the team knew what Watson was up to:

"Why is this being provided by the team? What did they know? That he needed it for? Those are the questions."

The Texans have settled many of the lawsuits that were brought against them, but it's unclear whether more accusers will come forward in the future.


Why the Texans might be getting punished for Deshaun Watson's behavior

The Texans were the quarterback's team for several seasons after he was drafted in the first round in 2017. He publicly requested a trade before being hit with a flurry of sexual assault allegations.

Twenty-four cases were filed against the former Clemson standout and it was reported that he had over 60 different massage therapists in a short amount of time.

The legal saga is winding down, but as more and more information comes out, questions are being asked of Deshaun Watson's team.

Texans staff literally facilitated Watson's "massages" at team owned/rented locations and the head of the Texans' security gave Watson a form NDA to give to the women but sure, cling to the denial of any of what was happening. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…

The Texans provided NDAs for those involved, which raises doubts in the minds of the people. Punishments haven't been handed out to anyone yet, but the Texans might not be in the clear.
