News just keeps getting worse for the Cleveland Browns on the Deshaun Watson front. On Tuesday we learned a 23rd woman had filed a lawsuit against Watson for inappropriate sexual conduct during a massage session. That just adds to the mess the Browns are dealing with after trading for Watson and handing him an enormous contract.

When the Browns traded three first-round draft picks, a third-rounder in 2023, and fourth-rounders in 2022 and 2024 to the Houston Texans for Watson and a 2024 sixth-rounder, they faced incredible backlash. That only intensified when Cleveland handed him a fully-guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract. The Browns wouldn't have done that unless they thought he would be able to play and that his legal troubles were almost behind him. They aren't.

Two weeks ago we learned the lawsuits Watson has been facing for more than a year won't be resolved until at least 2023. Which means the Browns will have to play the entirety of the 2022 season with that hanging over the team's collective head. Everyone will face questions about the lawsuits and the quarterback's conduct, especially Watson, the front office and the team's coaches.
