BREAKING NEWSCleveland Browns owner launches astonishing attack on his scandalized quarterback Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson’s time with the Cleveland Browns has been ‘a big swing and miss’ and has left the organization in a ‘hole’ according to a scathing review from team owner Jimmy Haslam.

The Browns traded for Watson from the Houston Texans in March 2022, sending three first-round picks across 2022-2024, a 2023 third-rounder and fourth-round picks from 2022 and 2024 for the quarterback.

Furthermore, the Browns signed Watson to a fully-guaranteed $230m deal, at a time when he faced 22 lawsuits from women accusing him of Sєxual misconduct. He has settled with many but was suspended by the NFL for the first 11 games of the 2022 season and fined $5million for violating the league´s personal conduct policy.

‘We took a big swing and miss with Deshaun. We thought we had the quarterback, we didn’t and we gave up a lot of draft picks to get him,’ Haslam said.

‘So we’ve got to dig ourselves out of that hole. [The trade] was an entire organization decision and it ends with Dee and I, so hold us accountable.’

Things haven’t been much better since his suspension disrupted his 2022 campaign.

Watson’s 2023 season was ended by a shoulder injury and in 2024 he tore his Achilles midway through the campaign.

To compound matters, Watson re-tore the same Achilles earlier this year and will miss at least some of the 2025 season. Overall, Watson has played in only 19 games since the Browns acquired him.

The Browns hold the second pick of the 2025 NFL Draft and many think they will go for a quarterback, despite trading for Kenny Pickett from the Philadelphia Eagles. 

The Browns recently hosted Colorado´s Shedeur Sanders and Miami´s Cam Ward, who many expect to be taken first by Tennessee тιтans.

Earlier in March, Watson announced that he was engaged to his girlfriend Jilly Anais.

Watson and Anais have been dating since 2019, after first meeting in Los Angeles. They are both 29. Anais – who has nearly 2.5 million followers on social media – is a singer, actress and cookbook author.

The couple stayed together amid accusations in 2021 and ’22 by more than two dozen women that Watson Sєxually ᴀssaulted and harᴀssed them during mᴀssage therapy sessions in Houston.

Two grand juries declined to indict him and he has settled civil lawsuits in all but one of the cases.
