Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has confidentially settled another lawsuit with a Houston-based Jane Doe who had filed a sexual assault claim against him in September 2023. The plaintiff, represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, sought around $1 million in compensation. Buzbee confirmed the settlement, stating, “We have now resolved our client’s claim with Deshaun Watson,” while noting the terms remain confidential.
This settlement adds to a series of resolved lawsuits Watson has faced from multiple accusers over alleged misconduct. Despite these legal battles, Watson has not been placed on the NFL’s commissioner’s exempt list and has continued to play. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently addressed the league’s approach to the case, remarking, “We’re continuing our review like we would. As you know, we take the personal conduct policy seriously, and our people are working diligently at that.”
As the NFL’s investigation remains ongoing, many are watching to see if further actions will follow. Stay tuned as the story unfolds.
