Deshaun Watson has a new home in Ohio. The quarterback was traded to the Cleveland Browns following weeks of rumors and meetings with several teams. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Watson picked the Browns over the Saints, Panthers and Falcons on Friday.
The Browns are sending three first-round picks, a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for Deshaun Watson and a fifth-round pick.
This comes after a grand jury in Texas elected not to pursue criminal changes after many massage therapists accused Watson of sexual misconduct.

However, at the moment, Watson is still not out of the hot water as he is still facing more than 20 civil suits filed by his accusers and remains under investigation by the NFL.
In his career so far, Deshaun has played 54 games, throwing for 104 touchdowns and 14,539 passing yards. However, he sat out all of the 2021 season following the allegations.
This isn’t the first big quarterback move this season, as Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was sent to the Denver Broncos and Carson Wentz was also traded to the Washington Commanders. At the moment, Baker Mayfield has not been traded, but that is expected to happen soon.
Watson posted on his social media that he was ready to work, saying,
“Cleveland, LETSSSS GOOOO!! 😤 #DawgPound Ready To Work!”
There’s still a lot that needs to be settled for the young quarterback before he sees the field this year, but it looks like everything is in motion and headed the right direction for him. It’s terrible that should the allegations be false, this young man’s season and career were affected over nothing.
