Attorney Tony Buzbee gave a hazy clue about his probable future intentions during his news conference on Thursday, primarily focused on condemning the NFL for how it handled Deshaun Watson's suspension even though the NFL is still trying to suspend Watson for at least a year.
Buzbee spoke about a party that hasn't been sued when discussing the settlement of claims brought on behalf of 30 clients against the Houston Texans. I believe it's crucial to point out that the NFL chose not to participate in that settlement, according to Buzbee. They don't come from that release.
In other words, one or more of Buzbee's clients may still file a lawsuit against the NFL.
Any future legal action's foundations are unclear. The Texans' allegations primarily stemmed from the idea that the organization provided Watson with a nondisclosure agreement to employ to secure solitary massage therapy sessions.
Watson was allegedly engaging in wrongdoing, and the Texans knew or should have known about it, but they reportedly did nothing to stop him.
There is no proof (at least none published) that the NFL was aware of Watson's actions when they were happening. Buzbee could try to make the case that Watson is vicariously responsible against the league because he pretended to be an NFL quarterback to engage in his claimed habit or fetish of scheduling massages that he then attempted to turn into sexual encounters.
Buzbee can also contend that the way the league conducted the inquiry constituted deliberate, reckless, or negligent infliction of emotional distress.
In any case, his remark raises the possibility of future intentions. It's unclear if he wants to file one or more cases or if his goal is to get the league to take action against Watson. In any case,
Buzbee's remarks from Thursday ignored the fact that the company is actively trying to crush Watson.
