The Cleveland Browns’ new franchise quarterback—and that’s very much what he is at this point, since they’ve locked themselves into a five-year contract worth $230 million—will be introduced to the local media later today. That is just a day after Deshaun Watson had yet another court hearing to determine whether or not he would face criminal charges stemming from allegations of sexual misconduct.
In all, 22 separate civil suits have been filed against the former Pro Bowler, from 22 defendants. Of the 22, 10 also filed criminal complaints against him. Nine were given ‘no’ bills last week from a grand jury to determine whether or not he would face indictment.
