Deshaun Watson is going viral after he appeared to have left Falcons jersey in the background of a Cleveland Browns picture on his Instagram Story. Falcons jersey was seen in the background and now, people are asking questions. It’s obvious he forgot to take it out while taking the photo.
According to SI;
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is excited to play for Cleveland, so much so that he showed off his new jerseys on Instagram. However, it was clear how close Watson was to going elsewhere, as Browns jerseys weren’t the only jerseys in view.
Watson forgot to put a Falcons jersey out of view before taking the picture. Atlanta was reportedly the runner-up in the Watson trade negotiations, and it was close enough that Watson apparently spoke with running back Leonard Fournette and wide receiver Jarvis Landry about joining the Falcons.
However, Watson chose to go to Cleveland after the Browns guaranteed him $230 million over the course of his five-year contract.
Update on the 22 lawsuits against Watson;
Watson could not start the season under center for Cleveland as he remains under investigation by the NFL. A grand jury recently returned nine “no” bills on nine criminal complaints against Watson, effectively concluding the criminal proceedings against him in Harris County. But the quarterback’s legal troubles are not over.
He still faces 22 active civil lawsuits filed against him that allege sexual harassment and assault. The accounts in the suit allege a number of graphic incidents of sexual misconduct, including Watson allegedly refusing to cover his genitals and forcing women to put his penis in their mouths.
It isn’t a big secret that Watson preferred to go to Falcons, but when a team guarantees you $230 million, you have to take it because that is life-changing money. We will see if Watson will be happy in Cleveland in the long term.
