Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suspended six games

According to the Associated Press on Monday, Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShaun Watson of Gainesville, Georgia has been suspended six games for violating the National Football League’s personal conduct policy. The 26-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting and harassing 24 women during massage therapy appointments in the Houston region in 2020 and 2021. However the star NFL quarterback was not indicted on criminal charges by a grand jury back in March.

Watson will not receive payment during the suspension. He only has a base salary of $690,000 for the 2022 NFL season. However, from 2023 to 2026, Watson is to earn $46 million per season.

In 2021 Watson did not play a single NFL game as property of the Houston Texans. He was not officially suspended, but was ruled out of every game because of a “not injury-related” matter according to CBS Sports.

Watson was traded from the Texans to the Cleveland Browns with a fifth round draft pick in the 2024 National Football League Draft for three first round draft picks in 2022, 2023, and 2024, a third round draft pick in 2023, and a fourth round draft pick in 2024 according to the Associated Press. With the first round draft pick in the 2022 NFL Draft at the Caesars Forum in Paradise, Nevada, the Texans traded their pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for four draft picks.

While with the Texans, Watson was a premier quarterback. He in fact led the NFL during the 2020 regular season with 4823 passing yards, 8.9 yards per pass attempt and 12.6 yards per pass completion. It will be interesting to see the level of quarterbacking Watson will be able to provide the Cleveland Browns after not playing in 23 consecutive regular season contests.
