Deshaun Watson just got one step closer to returning to the NFL.
The Houston Texans quarterback was not indicted after a grand jury heard the sexual assault accusations made against him by female massage therapists, a major legal victory for him and a major step toward Watson getting traded and back on the field.
Grand jury does not find enough to criminally charge DeShaun Watson. Nine accusations- none were found to be criminal.

Following the news breaking, Watson’s name was being thrown around as a possible replacement for Russell Wilson in Seattle.
Lot of smoke around Deshaun Watson to Seahawks now. That's down to +200 on DK. I still think Panthers should/will make a strong push. https://t.co/Iwy2jPc2J0

other thing on Aaron Wilson's report- he mentions the Seahawks could possibly have to deal Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf to get Deshaun Watson- if that is true- why in the hell would Watson want to come to Seattle? he had a no trade claus too.

Watson paired with Lockett and DK Metcalf would be a serious Big 3 to deal with.
That being said, Watson still has to deal with his civil suits, which isn’t a good look for anyone who acquires him.
We’ll see how this shakes out, but it definitely feels like Watson is on his way back.
