The saga involving NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to get more complex. The Cleveland Browns signal caller is under fire following the 24 sexual assault allegations that were lobbied against him when he was part of the Houston Texans. Now lawyer Tony Buzbee has decided to file a lawsuit against the Texans.

The lawsuit alleges that the Houston Texans should have known about Watson's behavior and that the team enabled the quarterback's actions.

Buzbee's statement reads:

"Today we filed the first case of what will likely be many against the Houston Texans related to Deshaun Watson's behavior. Suffice it to say, the overwhelming evidence collected indicating that the Houston Texans enabled Watson's behavior is incredibly damning. We believe the Texans knew or most certainly should have known of Watson's conduct."

Buzbee is one of the most prominent lawyers in the Houston area and is the representative of at least 21 of Watson's accusers.

It was recently reported that 20 of the 24 cases have been settled. Watson's hearing with the NFL was scheduled for June 28, an indication that the case is nearing its conclusion.

NFL fans, meanwhile, were quick to take to social media to react to the news of the lawsuits against the Texans.

One NFL fan believes the league needs to act swiftly.

One Cleveland Browns follower thinks the timing might be weaponized by Buzbee in order to extend his time in the limelight.

Another Browns fan just wants the nightmare to end.

An Eagles fan chimed in with an interesting take, suggesting that the Browns and Texans' owners might be in hot water.

A Miami Dolphins fan said he was overjoyed that the team didn't end up trading for Watson and stuck with Tua Tagovailoa.
