REPORT: Browns QB Deshaun Watson Suddenly In Danger Of Being Released & Having His Guaranteed Contract Terminated
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson could be in danger of losing his job and the remaining money on his contract after yet another woman has come out to accuse him sexual misconduct.
Mike Florio of NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk first reported the news that a lawsuit for sexual assault and battery had been filed in Houston that allegedly occurred in 2020.
Florio explains that because of the situation, the Browns may have the option to remove themselves from the five-year deal.
“Player hereby represents and warrants (except as otherwise disclosed to club in writing), as of the date hereof, that (1) Player has not been charged with, indicted for, convicted of or pled nolo contendre to any felony and/or misdemeanor involving fraud or moral turpitude, (ii) Player has not engaged in conduct which could subject him to a charge, indictment or conviction of any such offense, and (iii) no circumstances exist that would prevent Player’s continuing availability to the Club for duration of this Contract.”
“Based on the default language connected to the various guarantees, Watson doesn’t necessarily have to be suspended for the payments to be voided. Instead, if he ‘violates any material term of the Contract {included, but not limited to, Paragraph 42),’ Watson has defaulted and the future guarantees can be voided,” Florio explains.
