Quarterback Deshaun Watson cleared a hurdle on Friday when it comes to his departure from the Houston Texans.
A Harris County grand jury decided not to indict the three-time Pro Bowler in reference to criminal complaints referred to the Houston Police Department that allege he committed sexual assault. As such, the business of pro football is firing back up for the signal caller who requested a trade in January 2021.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Pro Football Network, a team that has emerged as a wild-card in the Watson sweepstakes is the Cleveland Browns. The Browns exercised the fifth-year option on former 2018 first-round quarterback Baker Mayfield, but there still questions as to his future with the organization, especially since the former Texas Tech and Oklahoma quarterback underwent labrum surgery at the end of the 2021 season.
