Deshaun Watson’s attorney filed a motion requesting that the NFL player’s deposition be pushed back to no earlier than April 1 because not all 22 complainants (Watson has been accused of inappropriate conduct and sexual assault in more than 20 civil lawsuits) have been deposed. Watson is currently scheduled to be deposed on Tuesday, February 22, according to a report from Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson. There is also an ongoing criminal investigation, though no charges have been filed.
Fantasy Impact: This development is significant because Watson is unlikely to be traded before his legal matters are settled. He is eligible to be traded on March 16, the start of the new NFL year. The Texans and new head coach Lovie Smith recently expressed their interest in resolving Watson’s status as soon as possible. However, it appears likely that this situation could last into April and potentially linger even longer. The NFL Draft is Thursday, April 28.
