The NFL and NFLPA have reportedly reached an agreement regarding Browns QB Deshaun Watson’s suspension. Watson was originally given a six game suspension by Sue L. Robinson (who is an independent disciplinary officer) for his alleged twenty-four sexual assault accusations. It is now being reported by Adam Schefter that Watson is set to serve an eleven game suspension. While nothing has been signed, Schefter has stated that the deal was verbally agreed upon.
With Watson more than likely being suspended for the first eleven games of the season, Cleveland will have to look into their quarterback room to find a new starter. Cleveland has three options. They could rock with the most experienced option in six year vet Jacoby Brissett.. or they can go with Joshua Dobbs, who has 17 career pass attempts. Their third option is Josh Rosen who they recently signed to a one year deal on July 21st. As of now, Watson is set to return in week thirteen on December 4th against his former team, the Houston Texans.
