Good news, bad news: Deshaun to face civil suits next off-season

The Browns did Deshaun Watson a solid when they placed his 2022 salary at just over $1 million with the expectations that he would be facing between a 4-6 game suspension.

That has all changed.

It was announced that none of the pending civil suits filed by 22 women, mostly massage therapists, will be tried this off-season. The timeline now is set for March 2023 according to Adam Ferrise of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ferrise explained that the attorneys who are in charge of the civil cases have agreed that none of the hearings will be conducted between August 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023.
