Following allegations of sexual harassment
:
Scandal quarterback Watson is moving to the Browns
updates Controversial NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans has found what he is looking for in a new team. More than 20 women had accused him of sexually harassing them.
The highly controversial NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans will play for the Cleveland Browns. The Texans confirmed the transfer for a total of five draft picks, three of them in the first round, on Saturday night German time. In Cleveland, Watson is expected to earn a guaranteed $230 million over the next five years.
“Cleveland LETSSSS GOOOOO!!” the 26-year-old wrote on Instagram under an animated photo that shows him in the Browns jersey. The star quarterback just escaped criminal prosecution for allegedly sexually molesting more than 20 women. The playmaker missed the entirety of last season as a result of the allegations and is still facing multiple civil lawsuits. Watson has always maintained his innocence.
A confirmation from the Cleveland Browns was still pending on Saturday morning. He is said to receive an instant bonus of $45 million for signing the contract, but his salary for the coming season is said to be only $1 million. Thus, even if Watson were suspended by the league, he would have few financial disadvantages.
