One day after trading for Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns are expected to sign quarterback Jacoby Brissett to a one-year deal to be Watson's backup, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Brissett could begin next season as Cleveland's starter, depending on if the NFL disciplines Watson, who is accused by 22 women of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage sessions.
A grand jury declined to indict Watson on the criminal complaints filed against him, but he could still face a suspension under the league's personal conduct policy. The 22 civil lawsuits against him also remain active.
