The regular season is a different story though and I don't think they'll be able to hide him without the media making it a big ruckus about it and rightfully so. They can get away with it now as interviews technically aren't obligated at this moment.
Definitely a huge ruckus but they make up rules as they go

Did you see the Top 100 clip they did about him? It was rather awkward as hell and makes me think that there's some sort of agreement between the Texans and the NFL that he sits. Here it is:

That’s like saying either the weather will be bad or good tomorrow. Doesn’t take much intuition or foresight to predict that.

I disagree. The FBI doesn't randomly get involved in criminal cases, and certainly not sexual cases that don't involve murder or a serial rapist. Their presence tells me this case must meet a criteria for them to be there. Here are the FBI's top priorities, according to Wikipedia:

  • Protect the United States from terrorist attacks
  • Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations, espionage, and cyber operations
  • Combat significant cyber criminal activity
  • Combat public corruption at all levels
  • Protect civil rights
  • Combat transnational criminal enterprises
  • Combat major white-collar crime
  • Combat significant violent crime

Where does "NFL player sexually harassing massage therapists" fit? Nowhere...which means we've got the possibility of a corruption case where Watson somehow got caught up in a trafficking case (example: Watson asked a massage therapist if she had any younger employees, and ended up being introduced to an underage worker)....OR a corruption case where attorneys, women, and (potentially) an NFL owner conspired to blackmail Watson unless he dropped his trade request. Or something else. Whatever it is, it's gotta be wild.

Its blackmail its already been covered.

Watson on the Panthers with our weapons? And the young defense starting to look decent? We could be a big fukking problem come January…..

I was watching a replay of the Panthers preseason game yesterday and Sam Darnold is so trash. So yeah

Edit: I should have said Sam Darnold is still trash but you catch my drift

I don’t buy these trade rumors I don’t see how he gets traded right now until their is closure to his situation and the fact that he’s most likely not gonna play at all this year

The optics of a trade now would look bad.

A trade in the offseason when his likely suspension is up and he’s situation is over makes a lot more sense then right now.

If anything, it's an agreement to put him in a corner until more of the situation is cleared up. The FBI poking around the situation complicates it even more. If the FBI comes to one conclusion, and they've already made a decision on Watson that goes the opposite way, it's a problem for them. Easier to just have him sit for now, and maybe make a call on punishment or lack thereof once they have more info.

The FBI now in the mix is more than likely going to extend the Grand Jury decision, which I think is the hold up in the first place. Having him out there playing and then dodging interview questions would be a nightmare especially when they have already been generous in not making a big deal about the situation in the first place.

Looks like he will be playing this year. If it was what we thought he'd already be cut and finished. He'll get a slap on the wrist for being horny and jokes in the locker room.

Just get him out my division!

It’s just crazy that they would even let trade talks happen during this shyt. It seems like somebody knows something we don’t know. The handling of this whole case has been weird

Those trade rumor leaks never made any sense whatsoever seeing as nothing is going to happen until the grand jury levies their decision. If I were any teams, then I'm not trading for him until I know the number of games he's suspended for and when he actually is able to play on the field again.
