The Cleveland Browns acquisition of QB Deshaun Watson could have ripple effects, not only for the team but across the league. The Browns, like multiple other teams, were interested in acquiring Watson despite, at the time, one pending criminal charge and 22 civil cases.
The final criminal charge was dropped by a grand jury but the civil cases continue on.
Watson made it clear that he does not believe he never assaulted or disrespected any woman. Based on his comments to the Cleveland media, it seems as if he has no plans to settle the cases to put it in the past and move forward.
