I’m not sure this week could get much worse for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.
After playing abysmally in the humiliating loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Watson has now been named in another lawsuit. A new victim, stemming from a date in 2020 while he was a member of the Houston Texans, has accused Watson of sexual assault.
Sparing the details of the accusation here, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio outlines the newest lawsuit in his breaking article.
His time in Cleveland has already looked like it is coming to an end based on the product the Browns have gotten on the field. Now his exit may just be expedited as the legal process continues to unfold here. And it may just warrant a suspension as Yahoo! Sports’ Charles Robinson believes the NFL will look at this lawsuit differently than the already-resolved suspension from 2022.
If Watson is indeed suspended, all of his guarantees would be voided on his contract and the Browns would be able to cut bait without penalty.
