Happy Endings down to ATL & NO…

As a Saints fan, no thanks. I’d rather roll the dice on tiny hands Kenny Pickett or Matt Corral than have Rapey McRaperson at QB.
Because the price was substantial, and it was anyone’s guess what the legal and civil fallout was going to be. And even with all that, multiple teams still wanted him. But nobody was going to blow multiple first round picks on a dude who might go to prison.
Fast forward to now, the legal obstacles are completely gone, which means suspension by Goodell is the worst thing that any suitors have to worry about. And furthermore, the Texans HAVE to move him, because he’d be due $40 million to once again not play for them this season, as opposed to the $16 million they paid him last season. Other teams know this, which means the price will come down. All sides are going to be more willing to get it done now.

He still has numerous civil suits pending that were filed by multiple women. Something unusual happened with that grand jury not returning indictments on the criminal charges. Watson is no different than Bill Cosby. It’ll catch up with him ultimately. Until then, the NFL will do as it always does—sweep things under the rug and make more money.
As a Saints fan, you better hope that Watson doesn't go to ATL
Saints are a franchise headed back to the days of sub .500. ATL will be more of a destination for players and have shown more of a willings ness to deal. They will overtake the Saints

He can still be indicted by another grand jury not to mention 24 civil suits! 24 women with much the same stories?
He won’t be indicted under the current circumstances. They already declined to indict on 9 of the 10 complaints, and the prosecution felt the 10th was so weak that they did not even present it to the grand jury.
The 24 civil suits are still a thing. Its very much he said vs. she said for those. Consensual contact or not will be the question. Motive will obviously be a heavy consideration and target for Watson’s attorneys to try and poke holes in the accuser’s stories, considering Watson’s profile. But in any case, he’s probably looking at a max of 6 game suspension or thereabouts, following past precedent with Big Ben and Zeke.
