Teams pursuing Deshaun Watson have reportedly been doing significant background on the quarterback throughout the past year, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.
Breer reported organizations used their security teams to look into Watson's legal situation, while some teams "have even put private investigators on the ground in Houston to get the best information possible."
Watson will not face criminal charges following accusations of sexual misconduct and sexual assault, but 22 civil lawsuits remain unresolved.
The Houston Texans are likely to deal the quarterback this offseason, with the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers reportedly already making offers, per Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
