The Cleveland Browns knew they would be receiving three things in the trade for Deshaun Watson earlier this offseason: 1) an excellent young quarterback; 2) a sixth-round draft pick; and 3) an absolute public relations shitstorm, that could have easily been predicted to grow worse than as was foreseen at the time of the deal.
Watson was being sued by 22 different massage therapists at the time that they sent three first-round picks, along with three other draft picks, to the Houston Texans in exchange for the Pro Bowl quarterback, whom they gave a fully-guaranteed $230 million contract, which was unprecedented.
