The Cleveland Browns sold their soul to acquire Deshaun Watson.
The franchise not only acquired a unapologetic player staring down a lengthy suspension following more than 20 accusations of sexual misconduct and what the NFL would later describe as “predatory behavior,” but shipped away three first round picks and six picks total for the privilege. Backed into a corner and needing to protect their investment, the Browns gave Watson the largest guaranteed contract extension in NFL history — a five-year, $240 million pact that ties him to the team through 2026.
