Keeping all these allegations anonymous and non-criminal is an interesting strategy.
I will guess that Buzbee very much wants Watson to continue his football career because that would mean more money for his clients.
If he destroys Watson's earning power, the value of any settlements will be stuck at how much Watson earned in his first four years.

The lawyer has already destroyed his earing power. DeShaun Watson will not be playing this year. He is done with the Texans and no tea is going to trade for him with this hanging over him. His cost to a new team is in the $30 million dollar range. The teams that might take him don’t have that kind of cap space to spend. Not even the Patriots.
I think these complaints are all bogus. First not provable un the masseuses’ were taking pictures. Second, The likelihood that he interacted with this many woman in the last couple of years who suddenly think they were dissed is statistically off the charts.
This is a money grab by the lawyer. But, I suspect that this was set up from the team owners/management to keep him in Houston. If that could be proven, DeShaun would own the team. I would be taking to lawyers about this if I was him.
