The Cleveland Browns officially announced their trade for Deshaun Watson and addressed concerns over the controversial acquisition.
“Those in-depth conversations, the extensive evaluation process, his dedication to being a great teammate and devotion to helping others within the NFL, within the community, and through his charitable initiatives provided the foundation for us to pursue Deshaun. We are confident in Deshaun and excited about moving forward with him as our quarterback and supporting his genuine and determined efforts.
Cleveland reportedly signed Watson to a fully-guaranteed five-year, $230 million deal, which broke the NFL record for most guaranteed money, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Shortly after Watson had asked to be traded in early 2021, a series of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct allegations led to 22 lawsuits filed by women against Watson. The 26-year-old quarterback did not play last season amid the allegations. on criminal charges. The trade market quickly opened for Watson, with the Browns, Saints, Panthers and Falcons all meeting with Watson and making their best offer.
The Browns, after initially being told on Thursday they were out of the running, ultimately landed Watson.
