Deshaun Watson has reversed course and rocked the football world.

In a stunning move, Watson has agreed to waive his no-trade clause to join the Cleveland Browns a league source confirmed to 92.3 The Fan.

NFL Network reports that Watson will receive a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract, shattering the league record for guaranteed cash by nearly $80 million, as part of the agreement.

The Browns and Texans must finalize details of the trade, which is expected to include at least three first-round draft picks and more.

Thursday morning, Watson informed the Browns they were no longer in consideration after the two sides met Tuesday in Houston.

The Saints, Falcons and Panthers also bid for Watson, who is still facing accusations of sexual misconduct involving 22 women during therapeutic massage treatments in civil court. Last Friday a grand jury elected not to indict Watson following eight criminal complaints made against him.

Watson still faces potential discipline from the NFL for possible violations of the league's conduct policy.
