As quarterback Deshaun Watson weighs contract offers from the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, a majority of the grand jury that voted against charging him with sexual misconduct also voted that he should remain with the Houston Texans.
“I don’t think we – excuse me, they – can’t get anyone as good as Deshaun,” Jennifer Watson said. “(Tyrod) Taylor and (Davis) Mills are dogs, forget (Jeff) Driskel and this year’s draft sucks when it comes to QBs.”
Jennifer Watson, a legal secretary who runs NFL fantasy leagues as a sideline, acknowledged that grand jury deliberations are supposed to be secret, “but, come on, we knew going in that Deshaun was being set up by those women and I bet not one of them has ever been to a football game.”
Bryce Watson, manager of the concessions at NRG Stadium, said the deliberations during the grand jury proceedings weren’t as cut and dried as Jennifer Watson said. “We watched videotaped interviews the complainants gave to police,” Bryce Watson said, “along with a highlight video of the Texans’ 2019 season and we decided by a majority vote that the latter was more convincing.”
Roosevelt Watson, a Harris County chief deputy sheriff who also ushered at the Astrodome during the Houston Oilers’ finals years before the franchise became the Tennessee Titans, said Deshaun Watson’s testimony was “far more believable, especially when he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, than anything that massage therapist said.”
Blake Watson spoke to an interviewer while showing off her Deshaun Watson I am the winner t-shirt. “Look that this,” she said. “On this shirt he’s as white as I am – although I can’t tell you why he’s wearing an Ithaca helmet since he went to Clemson. Not that his skin tone influenced my decision.”
Watson Brown, former head coach and athletic director at Rice University in Houston and foreman of the 12-member grand jury, said it deliberated for more than seven hours before the final decision.
“Six of us voted that Deshaun should stay with the Texans,” Brown said, “three said he should sign with the Saints, two voted for the Panthers and one for the Cowboys. That last guy should be out of the hospital in a week or two.”
