CLEVELAND — A previous allegation made by a woman who filed one of the original 22 lawsuits against the Browns’ new quarterback Deshaun Watson was presented to a grand jury in Texas Wednesday, and a decision on whether or not to indict Watson in this case could come as early as this evening, his attorney told News 5.
The 26-year-old Watson, who previously played with the Texans, spent two days this week in Houston giving depositions in civil lawsuits filed by female massage therapists who allege he harassed and assaulted them during massage appointments. Watson did not appear before the grand jury Thursday. Hardin said his client"didn't engage in any improper conduct" in this case.In addition to the legal battle ahead of him, Watson also faces possible discipline by the NFL, which could include suspension. That remains to be seen.
The Browns and Watson agreed on a base salary of $1 million for 2022, which would address a possible suspension.
