Tom Brady’s retirement lasted 40 days. After seemingly leaving the door cracked for a potential return since announcing his departure from the NFL on February 1, Brady announced his return on social media Sunday. It’s a consequential moment not only for Brady — who finished the 2021 season second in the league’s MVP voting — but also for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had been mulling over whether to pursue a Deshaun Watson trade this week. As recently as the NFL combine last week,… Source link

Two key steps in the criminal investigation into Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson are scheduled to unfold Friday, attorneys in the case told Yahoo Sports. Watson is slated for his first deposition in the sexual misconduct civil lawsuits brought against him, with the quarterback’s legal camp preparing him to plead the Fifth in testimony. It’s happening just as the Harris County District Attorney’s Office begins presenting evidence to a Houston grand jury in Watson’s criminal… Source link

As NFL coaches and executives touch down in Indianapolis this week for the league’s annual scouting combine, a multitude of quarterback conversations await. And the vast majority of them — for the next week or so — will have little to do with the 2022 draft prospects. As one league executive framed it Monday: “There’s three of the top five, six, seven quarterbacks in the league who are on the minds of a dozen [general managers].” That trio? Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the Green… Source link

As the trade deadline approached for the NFL last November, details emerged from trade talks between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans that had a clear mandate: For any deal involving Deshaun Watson to advance, the Dolphins wanted the quarterback’s legal issues settled. First and foremost, the 22 civil suits that were pending against the Texans QB in the Harris County Court system. The leaking of an alleged settlement offer from Watson appears to indicate the quarterback was at least… Source link

In a theme that’s stretched on for essentially one year, Deshaun Watson has some sizable quandaries on his hands. But as far as what he can control — the waiving of his no-trade clause — the firing of head coach Brian Flores in Miami is expected to reset the trade landscape for the quarterback. Through the entire process of Watson’s trade demands, he has pointed his compass toward the Dolphins. And the sources in his camp have said consistently that the driving force behind Watson’s… Source link

As the NFL rolls toward arguably the only dead period in its 12-month calendar, the two biggest rifts in the league — Aaron Rodgers vs. the Green Bay Packers and Deshaun Watson vs. the Houston Texans — are about to cross an important threshold. Come Wednesday, both Rodgers and Watson will officially become easier to trade, thanks to a provision that allows NFL teams to split salary cap hits over two seasons if a player is released or traded after June 1. That doesn’t mean a deal for… Source link

HOUSTON — A moment of clarity arrived for the Houston Texans‘ Deshaun Watson with Thursday’s revelation that four women met with NFL investigators regarding their civil lawsuits against the star quarterback. The league now has testimony from some of Watson’s accusers, and one way or another, it will have to decide what to do with that information.  It’s a crossroads between Watson’s civil litigation and an NFL investigation that was never guaranteed to materialize given the reality… Source link

HOUSTON — For the past 16 days, the NFL had the luxury of time and patience as civil suits piled up against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. While lawyers slung accusations back and forth through litigation and media statements, the league has been able to go about its due diligence without a ticking clock of criminal investigation hanging over its own disciplinary process. The bottom line? If Watson wasn’t part of a police probe, the demand on the NFL to do something about his… Source link

The Guardian There’s another pandemic under our noses, and it kills 8.7m people a year While Covid ravaged across the world, air pollution killed about three times as many people. We must fight the climate crisis with the same urgency with which we confronted coronavirus ‘Climate change is invisible, in everyday political consciousness, because it occurs on a scale too vast in time and space to see with the naked eye and because it concerns imperceptible phenomena such as atmospheric… Source link
