NFL Free Agency: the remaining questions & the latest on Deshaun Watson Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

First, Robert and Lindsay discuss Deshaun Watson and the sexual assault allegations he’s facing in sixteen civil lawsuits brought against him, what’s happening on the NFL-side of things, and how long it could take for these cases to be resolved, one way or another.

Then, they break down the remaining questions they still have after the first big wave of free agency has crested, including why the Bengals haven’t done much to help protect Joe Burrow, how can the Ravens improve their passing game, where are the Colts going to find an LT and an edge rusher at this point, which team outside the draft’s top five will make a splashy trade to move up and get a QB, if anything about George Paton’s tenure in Denver has been surprising so far, why the Eagles want Joe Flacco to back up Jalen Hurts, if the return of Dak Prescott makes the Cowboys an NFC East contender again, and what Tua’s second year in Miami will look like.
