Deshaun Watson and His Civil Affairs – JoeBucsFan.com

Desperation breeds tolerance.

Think of it like being in a Howard Avenue hotspot on a warm spring night. You have been banging with the hot babes. As the last call draws closer, your standards begin to grow.

The same goes for Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson and the roughly three dozen hassles with women hanging over his head. NFL teams know they can’t go to a Super Bowl without a quarterback. And there are only so many to go around.

Last year, according to the creator, curator and general guru of Pro Football Talk, the great Mike Florio, teams were spooked by all this alleged hassle against Watson. Now? Florio said several teams that had spoken with Houston were willing to ignore the allegations. They just need a fucking quarterback. But on one condition, Florio hits.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, several teams are indeed ready to close the case, as long as the criminal situation is resolved. Last year, the Dolphins insisted on settling all cases before a trade was finalized. The Panthers were prepared to make the deal regardless of civil (or criminal) matters, but Watson was unwilling to waive his no-trade clause for a trade with Carolina.

Which teams are currently willing to reach a deal without settling civil cases is unknown. But they’re out there, on the prowl, strategizing and planning as the quarterback carousel prepares to roll.

And that brings Blaine Gabbert. BSPN’s Chris Mortensen floated (?) the idea last night that Arians, who is currently out of contract, was selling Gabbert is that Arians thinks the Bucs can keep their heads above water with Gabbert just enough long for Watson to surface from an NFL suspension. for his alleged hassles with women.

If that’s true, then Arians is mad as a fox.
