This is why Deshaun Watson, from the beginning, welcomed a police investigation: He felt he knew that the truth would come out. And today, a grand jury did not charge him on any of the criminal complaints.

Deshaun Watson's attorney Rusty Hardin said earlier today that he knows for a fact that teams would be willing to trade for Deshaun Watson is he's not criminally indicted.

Well, Watson will officially not face criminal charges... and things will now get moving.
Watson isn’t out of the woods yet, but it seems clear the Houston Texans just might be. Nick Caserio’s phone is probably blowing up as we speak.
