Lindsay Jones on Deshaun Watson and the NFL’s Latest Scandal

The NFL’s Cleveland Browns acquired Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans last week, despite a string of allegations against the superstar quarterback. Watson was sued by 22 separate women last year, all massage therapists, who accused him of sexual harassment and sexual assault. The Browns signed him to a new five-year deal worth $230 million – a record for most guaranteed money in league history. Sketchy recruiting is nothing new for the team, which also signed running back Kareem Hunt months after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman, and defensive tackle Malik McDowell, who was charged with assaulting a police officer. LZ and Will are joined by Lindsay Jones, a senior writer for The Athletic covering the NFL, to discuss the controversy, and how fans and the NFL are responding. What happens when your team signs a player accused of such crimes?
