Deshaun Watson’s Lawyer Releases Statement Regarding Possible Settlement in Lawsuits

The lawyer for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is currently the subject of 22 civil lawsuits by women alleging sexual assault or misconduct, issued a statement about the possibility of a settlement in the case.

"We have made clear all along that there would be no settlement unless the terms are made public and all participants are allowed to speak in their own defense at all times," Rusty Hardin wrote. We want none of the participants—the plaintiffs or Mr. Watson—muzzled by a settlement agreement."
