Roger Goodell: NFL 'nearing the end' of Deshaun Watson investigation

The NFL’s Deshaun Watson investigation is officially in the home stretch.

Commissioner Roger Goodell closed the league’s spring meetings Tuesday and said there is no timeline for a decision on Watson’s future, but that the end of the league’s investigatory process is near. The news comes on the day that an interview with two of the 22 Watson accusers alleging sexual misconduct in civil lawsuits is set to air on HBO's "Real Sports," personally detailing their allegations against the Cleveland Browns quarterback and expressing disgust at his recent $230 million contract.

“I think we’re nearing the end of the investigative period,” Goodell said Tuesday.
