The former quarterback of the Houston Texans missed last season as he faced a criminal investigation and lawsuits involving sexual misconduct. A grand jury last week declined to charge him.
A week after a Harris County, Texas, grand jury rejected nine criminal cases against him, Deshaun Watson agreed to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate a trade to the Cleveland Browns, a person with direct knowledge of the move confirmed on Friday. That person requested anonymity because the team has not yet announced the trade.
