The Browns trading for Deshaun Watson was met with widespread backlash on Friday as the quarterback still faces 22 active civil lawsuits that describe graphic accounts of sexual harassment and assault.
But in wake of his trade, the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center has received more than a thousand donations as of Saturday evening. The Texans traded Watson and a 2024 fifth-round pick in return for a ’22 first-round pick, ’23 first-and third-round picks, and ’24 first-and fourth-round picks.
