Cleveland Browns Blasted for Deshaun Watson Trade Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

The Cleveland Browns are taking some heat after trading for Deshaun Watson, who is facing 22 civil lawsuits. The Browns made the trade this past Friday and gave up five draft picks. They also signed him to a five-year, $230 million contract which is fully guaranteed. And because of the lawsuits, which alleges Watson of sexual assault and misconduct during massage sessions, Watson could be suspended to start the season. 

"We look forward to having Deshaun as our starting quarterback. We have done extensive investigative, legal and reference work over the past several months to provide us with the appropriate information needed to make an informed decision about pursuing him and moving forward with him as our quarterback," Browns general manager Andrew Berry said in a statement. "Deshaun has been among the very best at the position and he understands the work needed to re-establish himself on and off the field in Cleveland. We are confident that he will make positive contributions to our team and community as we support his return to football."  While Watson is talented, the move could end up hurting the Browns depending on what happens with the cases against him. Here's a look at social media going after the Browns.
