Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to see lawsuits pile up against him, with now 19 alleging sexual misconduct. Texans general manager Nick Caserio finally chimed in on the situation and claimed that the team will take action if they find out that there is any truth behind the allegations.
“The allegations, what’s been discussed, are certainly troubling,” Caserio said on the team's “Texans All Access” podcast this week.
“Organizationally that’s not something that we can condone, those types of actions.”
Caserio also insisted that they will let the court handle it first before deciding on Watson's future with the Texans:
“It’s a legal process so we’re certainly respectful of that.”
Nineteen female masseuses have already filed allegations against the three-time Pro Bowler, claiming he was acting inappropriately during massage sessions they've had with him in the past.
The alleged victims are being represented by attorney Tony Buzbee. According to TMZ Sports, he claimed that at least one more lawsuit will be heading Watson's way this week. Another alleged victim told her story to Sports Illustrated but will not be filing a lawsuit.
Watson and his attorney have repeatedly denied wrongdoing and are trying to clear his name, though new allegations claim the Texans quarterback is deleting Instagram messages and trying to get women to settle.
Prior to this controversy, the Texans were standing firm in their decision not to ship the quarterback despite his frustrations after the 2020 NFL season. Given the ongoing situation, it's hard to see a trade happening in the near future. Houston is going to let things play out before making any final decisions.
