The attorney for the women who are suing Deshaun Watson has asked a Texas judge to force the NFL quarterback to appear for pretrial depositions this month after Watson claimed his new job in Cleveland prevented him from doing so.
“Defendant states … that he 'recently moved out of state and currently lives in Ohio,’ ” Buzbee’s filing stated. “That argument is irrelevant and meritless. As the Court is aware, several Plaintiffs in this lawsuit also live out of state, and most live paycheck to paycheck unlike Defendant Watson.
Buzbee also cited the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFL players that says teams can’t schedule more than four workouts per week in the offseason for any player. Buzbee said Watson’s legal team failed to provide alternative dates as required and was asked eight times for dates to conduct his deposition but none were given. Buzbee said he noticed the dates for May to make sure it was completed within the scheduling order of the court. In response, Hardin provided deposition dates for Watson more than 10 days after filing his motion to quash, including some outside the cutoff for the discovery for pretrial evidence in late June, according to Buzbee.
Hardin didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment. Watson, 26, was traded in March to the Browns, who gave him a record contract of $230 million guaranteed over five years.
