I have a harder time reconciling this in relation to Watson’s alleged crimes. I think Bill O’Brien legitimately didn’t like Hopkins and did what he felt was necessary to remove him from the roster.

I think those two will successfully argue for a one year suspension as opposed to indefinite. Watson will be reinstated once the suspension is served (as opposed to having to apply for reinstatement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the only reason it could be “indefinite”/1 year pending 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By settling quickly and releasing this well-crafted statement of narrative control, it separates them further from Watson and anything else that may pop up in the future, as well as the likelihood that those first rounders are now untouchable by the league.

Pastor Dillon Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Given that several of the women didn’t settle with Watson and the ones that did took a while to get there, I’m thinking that the Texans didn’t know what was going on, at least in a provable way, and they offered some money just to move past this whole did and their lawyer said take it now and they did. Good for them, money doesn’t make up for being sexual assaulted but it’s nice to get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
