Watson has  denied that he acted inappropriately and said he looks forward to clearing his name.

“I have never treated any woman with anything other than the utmost respect,” the quarterback said in a statement posted to Twitter Tuesday.

Watson signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension with the Texans last offseason, but this offseason he became unhappy with the direction of the team.

Deshaun formally requested a trade in January. Now he has a lot more to worry about. .
