Deshawn Watson receives backlash over sexual assault allegations
Yesterday, Deshawn Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns. Historically, the Browns have struggled. Last season, the Browns tried to make it back to the playoffs. The Browns instead took a step back. Landing Watson was huge for them, so they offered him a $230 million five year guaranteed contract.
Deshawn Watson was a star quarterback for the Houston Texans. However, Watson grew disgruntled with the team, and demanded a trade in 2020. Soon, sexual assault allegations kept him off the field. Watson ended up being deactivated for the entire 2021 season. Despite having not suited up in two years, Watson has a huge deal with the Browns.
While Deshawn Watson has landed a $230 million deal, his troubles are far from over. On Twitter, Watson has faced a lot of backlash from people on all sides of political debates. Everyone is speaking out on how Deshawn Watson has such a huge contract, with these allegations against him. Several high profile people have come forward to speak out against Watson. Meanwhile, Deshawn Watson has kept a low profile since the deal.
