When the Cleveland Browns acquired QB Deshaun Watson, much of the off-the-field issues were well-known and documented. The Browns, along with a number of other teams, still pursued Watson with the hope that the star quarterback could elevate their team to a Super Bowl level.
So far, Watson has played in just 13 games for Cleveland due to an 11-game suspension for the sexual abuse allegations and a shoulder injury. Due to the on-the-field play, discussions around Watson are about the inability to get out of his contract and how long of a leash the Browns should give him as the starting quarterback.
