NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a press conference Tuesday evening that the league doesn't "feel we have that necessary information to place [Deshaun Watson] on the exempt list.”
The quarterback remains on the Texans squad despite trade rumors swirling ahead of the Nov. 2 deadline. Both the Dolphins and Panthers are rumored to be interested in trading for Watson, even though he still faces 22 civil lawsuits and 10 criminal complaints alleging sexual assault or sexual misconduct.
The league is still investigating the allegations against Watson as well as the local police.
