Music NFL Responds To Latest Deshaun Watson Development

Deshaun Watson has been one of the biggest stories of the NFL offseason due to the 24 sexual assault lawsuits that he was facing. Now, that number has quickly dwindled to just four as he settled 20 cases today. It was a massive move for the quarterback who has been accused of sexually assaulting a multitude of massage therapists at their place of business.

In the eyes of many, these settlements should have massive implications for the NFL's investigation into the matter. After all, the league is expected to hit him with a lengthy suspension, and some fans believe the settlements could either hurt his case or actually even improve it, depending on your logic.
