(SportsRadio 610) - Deshaun Watson spoke publicly for the first time since being traded by the Houston Texans to the Cleveland Browns a week ago.
Watson sat with Browns general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski, fielding a multiple questions about the 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by the quarterback.
Berry said repeatedly that the Browns hired "independent and unbiased" investigators, who conducted a "five-month odyssey" and they would not have traded for Watson without feeling comfortable about him as a person.
They felt so comfortable with Watson, they traded three first-round picks and guaranteed him $230 million just to get him from Houston.
But from a Texans perspective, it is important to remember Watson wanted out of Houston long before the allegations surfaced last March.
Here's what he said about why he wanted to be traded.
"At the time, we were just both going in different directions," said Watson, who led the NFL in passing yards when he last played two seasons ago, as the Texans went 4-12. "It was a time for both of us to part ways. ... I was honest and straightforward with the organization. They were honest with me and we decided we needed to move forward (with a trade)."
So, not much of an answer.
We will have more on the Watson press conference as the day goes on.
