The Texans reportedly traded Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns after the quarterback had a change of heart and waived his no-trade clause in order to facilitate the deal, which sees the Texans receive a package that includes three first-round picks
Nearly 14 months after his initial trade request, Deshaun Watson has finally been shipped out of Houston.
The Texans reportedly traded the star quarterback to the Cleveland Browns after Watson had a change of heart and waived his no-trade clause in order to facilitate the deal. In exchange, the Texans will receive a package that includes three first-round picks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It was an unexpected turn of events after the Browns were informed Thursday that they were out of the running for Watson, leaving the Falcons and Saints as the favorites to acquire him. Instead, Watson lands in Cleveland for the long term with a new, fully-guaranteed five-year, $230 million deal, per Schefter.
Browns are giving Deshaun Watson a new deal, per sources. The $184M over the first four years of this contract is a $48M raise over the $136M he was scheduled to make over the same four years on the previous contract - a $12M a-year raise in that span.Watson had asked to be traded in early 2021 and then, in March, a series of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct allegations were levied against him. In total, there were 22 lawsuits filed by women against Watson.
