Buzbee has represented dozens of women bringing sexual assault charges against Watson for more than a year. Buzbee said attorneys are "working through paperwork" related to the four outstanding suits against Watson, who did not play in 2021 and could face a lengthy suspension in 2022. Buzbee indicated the other four lawsuits would eventually be settled, adding that the terms of the settlements with Watson would remain confidential.

That does not mean anyone is holding out for more money, just that they aren't happy with the terms. If I was her I'd likely be trying to find a way to prohibit Watson from doing it again, so that may be why she's currently holding out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But almost unlikely even if it does hurt his pocketbook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of settlement. This was part of Buzbee’s statement following the 20 settled cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this not include the two new lawsuits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 NFL probably told him: Settle, we “suspend” you for a year to save face. NFLPA appeals and you only get 8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody negotiates by saying they’ll be looking to settle IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody really knows how Sue Robinson is going to respond to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzbee has went out of his was to single out Solis for her work in this - Solis herself has went out of her way to make herself the face, too. My gut instinct is that she wants this to go to trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely might, but time is also on their side and he knows that everyone in Watson’s camp wants this settled now so they can then look at suspensions/everything else. He’s got a job to represent all 24 women and so he’s reminding the court of public opinion and continuing the civil pre trial publicly with the remaining 4. It means a higher payday for those 4 women, as these are civil cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a behind-the-scenes handshake deal, but the NFL is going on record to say this changes nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
