The Cleveland Browns officially introduced quarterback Deshaun Watson at a press conference on Friday.
Watson was joined by general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski for questions during the in-person portion of the press conference at team headquarters in Berea. Owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam took questions a few hours later over Zoom as they just happened to be out of the country on arguably the biggest day for the franchise since they purchased the Browns in 2012.
The day was mostly cordial, although it was a bit less celebratory and a bit more “let’s get through this with our dignity” than what you would normally expect from a team introducing a player that they just handed $230 million in guaranteed money.
