The Deshaun Watson hearing could be an explosive one for the NFL and the NFLPA. The repercussions will hit Watson and the Cleveland Browns first but the secondary damage could be felt around the league.
Currently, the NFL is dealing with the following legal matters:
- Dan Snyder is being subpoenaed by Congress regarding a toxic workplace
- Brian Flores suing specific teams and the league for discriminatory practices
- Jon Gruden suing the NFL for leaking offensive emails he wrote
- The former Las Vegas team president has hired a lawyer in advance of possibly suing the Raiders for his firing which he claims happened when he brought up hostile work environment concerns
