Even after he avoided criminal charges, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is under more scrutiny in civil lawsuits.

Former NFL player, Jared Veldheer, is swapping the offensive line for the lunch line at St. Paul the Apostle School to make healthy lunches for kids.Sometime in the next three weeks, NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson will be forced to produce a series of answers► Of the 22 women who are suing him, which of them does he claim to have had consensual sex?

To assess the stakes, USA TODAY Sports gathered court records and spoke to legal experts who say Watson is under increasing pressure in these cases and “backed into a corner” just a few weeks after being given aThe 22 women who have sued him generally accuse him of exposing himself and causing unwanted touching during massage sessions from early 2020 to March 2021, often after he initiated contact with them on Instagram. Watson has denied wrongdoing.

Buzbee previously compared the situation to the separate criminal and civil trials of O.J. Simpson, the former football star. Simpson was acquitted of double murder in a criminal trial in 1995 but later was found liable for the killings in civil court.The league is conducting its own investigation and could discipline Watson with a suspension.

The Browns traded for Watson anyway and gave him a contract with the most guaranteed money in NFL history – $230 million over five years. “Any additional instances of sexual relations between he and other massage therapists makes his accusers more believable,” Williams said. “These additional instances of sexual relations between Watson and other therapists is likely to be admitted as evidence of his intent and therefore problematic should the case go to trial. The women would be able to testify at any trial even if they are not suing him. Thus, he has a very strong incentive to settle before the cases go to trial.
