James Washington was supposed to help soften the blow of the offseason departure of Amari Cooper. Now he’ll have to wait to make his Dallas Cowboys debut. The fifth-year wide receiver who joined the Cowboys from the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent sustained a foot fracture at training camp on Monday. He needs surgery and is expected to miss up to 10 weeks, according to multiple reports. His absence will further stretch a Cowboys receiving corps that expected to start Week 1 against the Source link

Imagine you’re at an ATM near your home. You’re headed to your niece’s high school graduation party and want to put some cash in her card. As soon as you let go of the door of the bank lobby and step back onto the sidewalk, you’re approached by a larger, imposing person who demands the money you just withdrew. You comply, and they run off. Your heart is pounding in your ears, your hands are shaking. Police find the robber, and when the robber is in front of a judge, you find out not… Source link

The NFL now holds Deshaun Watson’s football future in its hands. With independent disciplinary arbitrator Sue L. Robinson delivering a six-game suspension decision in Watson’s personal conduct policy case on Monday, the spotlight now shifts back to the NFL, which must decide whether to appeal the penalty. The league issued a statement Monday saying it’s “reviewing” the decision and “will make a determination on next steps.” Barring a mutually agreed upon extension between the NFL and NFL… Source link

The NFL suspended Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for six games on Monday for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The decision was rendered in response to the NFL’s investigation of multiple women who filed civil lawsuits against Watson before he settled with 23 of them; one of those suits remains. The women, whom Watson hired for massages, accused the QB of sexual misconduct or sexual assault. Watson will be eligible to return to the Browns in Week 7 against the… Source link

Four months ago, when Deshaun Watson signed the most staggering contract in NFL history, a fully guaranteed $230 million dollar deal, the salary implications across the league were unmistakable. It had the potential to completely reshape the ceiling and floor of top-10 caliber NFL quarterback money. And it left a message resonating through front office and ownership suites. Now we wait. For what, exactly? Well, for Thursday, when the other shoe dropped on a top-10 quarterback deal this… Source link

Every time I think of the Deshaun Watson situation, I think of the numbers. They’re astounding. They tell the story. On Friday, a new number was added to the Watson story, and once again it’s sickening. And at least two new questions are begging to be asked. The number: Thirty. On Friday, attorney Tony Buzbee announced that the Houston Texans had reached settlements with 30 women who had or had planned on filing lawsuits against the team, alleging that it turned a blind eye to Watson’s behavior… Source link

There’s a reason the Cleveland Browns were placed in the middle of these rankings. It’s impossible to know what to make of them. When the rankings were finalized, the Deshaun Watson saga hadn’t been settled. With Watson for a full season, the Browns are clearly a top-10 team. Without Watson at all, the Browns would be much lower than No. 15 in the countdown, especially since they couldn’t mend fences with Baker Mayfield. Having Watson for about half of the season would put the Browns …… Source link

(Warning: This story contains allegations of sexual misconduct.) HOUSTON — A lawsuit filed against the Houston Texans on Monday alleges the team was made aware of some of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s massage preferences during a 17-month period in which he allegedly attempted to sexualize sessions with multiple women. The suit, which was filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee as part of his representation of client Toi Garner, claims the Texans were alerted to Watson “seeking out… Source link

HOUSTON — Late last week, when details of the NFL’s suspension stance in the Deshaun Watson investigation began to privately circulate between parties involved in the case, a source in the middle of it all proposed that there was a single piece of information the league wanted publicly leaked. It was a nugget that would act like a public relations shield if Watson’s hearing before an independent disciplinary arbitrator didn’t unfold the way the league office thought it should. In the… Source link
