I say they just hold onto Watson this year and see what happens. If he wants to sit, let him sit.

He isn't going to change his mind and they're in desperate need of draft assets. This is their opportunity to reset the franchise with multiple first rounders in the next couple of drafts. They could come away with multiple firsts starting this year because of the Jets and Dolphins, including either the 2nd or 3rd pick of the draft.

I can't see how keeping him on the roster benefits them at all.

lol I went googling for the answer to my question and I found a puff piece the Pats did on Easterby

https://www.patriots.com/news/you-don-t-know-jack-the-most-influential-patriot-you-ve-never-heard-of

lot of funny stuff in here

quote:

"Right away, faces light up. Moods soften. Any tension or formality quickly evaporates at the mention of Jack Easterby."

...

"Man," longtime special teams co-captain Matthew Slater exclaims, "I can only hope and pray to be half the man that [Jack]'s been and impact lives the way he has."

...

So, what exactly does Easterby do for the Patriots? He boils it down to this.

"How can I leave everyone I interact with better than I found them?"

Results may vary from person to person, but on this, there is consensus: Easterby is succeeding.

hey look, something new to talk about!

https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1374460485479792643?s=20

quote:

Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was the subject of a $30,000 blackmail attempt from one the 14 massage therapists alleging sexual assault and harassment in civil litigation, according to a sworn affidavit released by his Houston-based attorney, Rusty Hardin.

Bryan Burney, the marketing manager for Watson, submitted in the affidavit that �Jane Doe� believed to be the third plaintiff out of of 14 civil lawsuits filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, stated that she wanted $30,000 for her 'indefinite silence� regarding an alleged Dec. 28, 2020 encounter with Watson. The civil suit alleges that Watson "coerced and intimidated" her to perform oral sex on him at a Houston office building.

�I asked her what she would be silent about and whether anything had happened with Deshaun against her will,� Burney stated. � She confirmed that everything that occurred was consensual during her encounter with Deshaun. I asked Ms. Doe why Deshaun should pay for silence regarding something that was consensual � whatever it was. She said that it was a matter that both she and Deshaun would wish to keep secret and that she would need to be paid for her 'silence.'�

Burney stated that after that conversation, he received a call from a man saying he was the alleged victim�s business manager, that the encounter would be �embarrassing� if Watson didn�t pay what was demanded.

� I told this individual that his demand to be paid for not revealing a consensual interaction between two adults was extortion,� Burney said. "He responded, �It�s not extortion, it�s blackmail. I informed this individual that Deshaun would not be paying the $30,000 requested.

�In the years that I have known Deshaun, I have known him to be a respectful, decent human being. I do not believe him capable of the conduct that 'Jane Doe' has anonymously accused him of in this case. This conduct is also completely inconsistent with multiple statements made by Jane Doe and by her �business manager,� indicating that her encounter with Deshaun involved only consensual activity.�

In a statement, Hardin defended Watson, who is facing the lawsuits in Harris County District Court. Buzbee said during a press conference that he is in contact with 22 alleged victims and that he may file additional cases.

�I want to emphasize at the outset that we and Deshaun recognize that sexual assault and harassment are not only unlawful, but morally wrong,� Hardin stated. �It takes courage for women to come forward to report being mistreated, particularly when they attach their names to a lawsuit. We do not take these allegations lightly. However, fairness to the accused is equally as important.

"Opposing counsel has orchestrated a circus-like atmosphere by using social media to publicize 14 �Jane Doe� lawsuits during the past seven days in a manner calculated to inflame the public and malign Deshaun�s otherwise sterling reputation. In addition, the tactic of refusing our requests to confidentially provide the names of the plaintiffs so we can fully investigate their claims makes uncovering the truth extremely difficult. Anonymity is often necessary as a shield for victims but opposing counsel has used it as a sword to publicly humiliate Deshaun before the truth seeking process can even begin.

"I believe that any allegation that Deshaun forced a woman to commit a sexual act is completely false. And in the one case in which we have been able to identify a plaintiff, we have strong evidence showing the allegation is false. In January of this year, a woman attempted to blackmail Deshaun by demanding $30,000 in exchange for her �indefinite silence� about what she stated was a consensual encounter. It is our belief this woman is the plaintiff in Cause No. 2021-15613.�

Buzbee has emphasized that these lawsuits aren't financially motivated.

�The case ain�t about money, and certainly not publicity or fame,� Buzbee said. "I personally don�t need it, and these women don�t want it. This case is about female empowerment, taking the power back. These women who are stepping forward knew that they would face scorn and ridicule. They bring these cases for one reason: stopping misconduct from this defendant.�

Hardin defended Watson, 25, who has no previous off-field incidents and has repeatedly drawn praise in the past for his character and philanthropy in Houston and in his hometown of Gainesville, Ga.

"We have received numerous unsolicited comments in the past week from many licensed massage therapists who have worked with Deshaun in recent years," Hardin said. "These women describe him as a gentleman and a model client who never engaged in inappropriate conduct. Indeed, before these salacious claims, everyone who associated with Deshaun described him as an outstanding, respectful, and compassionate man.

"Again, we are taking the allegations very seriously and we ask only that people not rush to judgment, that people not be unduly influenced by opposing counsel�s antics, and that they let fundamental fairness to both sides rule the day."

I guess now I'm thinking about two things:

- When they identify themselves does that become public record?

- If their identify is made public (either as part of public records or if Deshaun's attorney decides to leak it), how long are they going to have to wait for this to be resolved?

It would be incredibly lovely if their name is made public and they have to wait 6 months for the civil trial and they spend that whole time being harassed.

So we've gone from "It never happened" to "Yes he contacted them but it was strictly professional" to "Yes he had sexual contact with them but it was consensual", now to "He did not in any way use his status to coerce them, why would you think that?"

My favorite moment so far today was when one of the lawyers said that maybe some of the women were just made uncomfortable massaging certain areas that Deshaun needed massaged to be a top QB.
