The NFL announced Thursday the league and its players union agreed to a settlement resulting in an 11-game suspension for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. He also will be fined $5 million.
The NFL said it will create a fund of $7 million, consisting of Watson’s fine and $1 million each from the league and the Browns. The fund will be donated to nonprofit organizations that aim to educate “healthy relationships, promote education and prevention of sexual misconduct and assault, support survivors, and related causes,” according to the league.
Additionally, Watson will “undergo a professional evaluation by behavioral experts and will follow their treatment program,” per the NFL’s statement.
