Looks like the Texans are trying to wash their hands clean of the Deshaun Watson mess.
According to the women’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, thirty women who made or intended to make claims against the Houston Texans related to Deshaun Watson’s alleged sexual misconduct have reached confidential settlements with the organization.

Texans settled that joint fast as hell cause if the truth came out it could look worse as a league. I honestly believe the the timing of Watson asking to be traded then all of a sudden these reports of his was so convenient…I think Texans set him up in a way. https://t.co/JsrVF7CGsq

Wow Texans ponied up to keep anything from getting out. I know there were firings of certain people last year that this could tie back to, but feel we will never get the full story.
That said – THIRTY is the number for them, Watson meanwhile at 24 with 4 still going to civil… https://t.co/Dx6ST3IwLH

So the Texans settled 30 and there is 24 we know about against Watson. Sounds like Watson has at least 6 more coming his way. https://t.co/prL3igbvu9

Watson previously reached his own settlements to end 20 of the 24 lawsuits against him. That left four pending, which Buzbee said are still active and on course for trial next year. But one thing that is curious is the number of women, 30.
Watson was never arrested or charged and denied wrongdoing.
Hopefully the NFL can hand down its suspension soon.
