Watson is facing accusations of purposely touching a woman with his erect penis and forcing another woman to perform oral sex. The talented passer has denied ever treating a woman poorly.

Buzbee, who is representing the women suing Watson, has also asked for a grand jury to be put together to examine the allegations.

At some point, you have to wonder if the NFL is going to intervene. We know the league is investigating the situation, but we haven’t heard much past that.

With a dozen different women accusing Watson of misconduct, Roger Goodell has to be debating what to do next.

These are all civil cases and he’s not facing any criminal investigations. However, the NFL doesn’t need a criminal investigation to be happening in order to intervene. Goodell can more or less do whatever he wants.

Keep checking back for more updates as we have them. It’s clear that Watson’s situation isn’t going away anytime soon.
