Deshaun Watson Offered $100K To His Accusers To Drop Their Case

Deshaun Watson was accused of harassment, but new information about his case is rather interesting. There was an attempt to make everything go away, but that didn’t happen.

Pro Football Talk reports that Deshaun Watson offered each plaintiff $100k to settle their cases against him. This all came out at the bottom of page two of the 23rd lawsuit, filed by Nia Smith, against the Browns’ quarterback.

“Of course, we now know that Deshaun Watson offered each Plaintiff $100,000 to settle their cases, but not all would accept that amount, due to the aggressive nondisclosure agreement that Watson’s team proposed.”

This was an attempt to settle his cases “at the behest of the Dolphins.” The team obviously wanted those cases settled before they would make a trade for Watson. 18 of the 22 cases were ready to be settled, but four plaintiffs refused.

It appears that a nondisclosure agreement would have been part of the settlement, but that might have derailed things. It was reported that a disagreement about nondisclosure agreements attached to the settlement threw a wrench in plans. They were set to receive $100k each, an amount that he could certainly afford, but then things took a drastic left turn and we are in the current situation we see ourselves in today.
