The Cleveland Browns have officially announced the Deshaun Watson trade and a lot of people aren’t happy with the organization for the move.
After much speculation about his future, Deshaun Watson is now a member of the Cleveland Browns. The Browns and Houston Texans pulled out of their blockbuster trade earlier in the week, with Watson signing a new monster connection as well.
The Browns just announced things on Twitter, but to say a lot of their fans are upset would be an understatement. Watson had more than 20 women come out and accused him of sexual assault, although the charges were not brought after a grand jury hearing.

What pissed people off the team was that they knew there were still legal steps to be taken for Watson. Just because no charges were brought by the grand jury, it doesn’t mean that everything will be thrown in the past for him.
These tweets above are just a small sampling of the examples of the reactions received. Some of Brown’s supporters aren’t happy at all, while there are some who support Watson and are glad he’s the new rookie.
With Watson now in town, Brown will look to trade with former number one Baker Mayfield. Mayfield has had a lot of ups and downs with the team throughout his career, but he just couldn’t deliver the way the fans had hoped. The Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks both feel like potential landing sites for him. For Watson, he will have to work overtime to try to repair his image in Cleveland.
