The Cleveland Browns are defending their acquisition of quarterback Deshaun Watson, who currently faces lawsuits over allegations of sexual assault and harassment from 22 women, and may ultimately be suspended by the NFL.
Following criticism from Browns fans and a women's group over the controversial trade, team general manager Andrew Berry insisted that the team did its due diligence by conducting 'extensive investigative, legal and reference work over the past several months.'
'We are acutely aware and empathetic to the highly personal sentiments expressed about this decision,' Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in their own statement on Sunday. 'Our team's comprehensive evaluation process was of utmost importance due to the sensitive nature of his situation and the complex factors involved. We also understand there are still some legal proceedings that are ongoing and we will respect due process.'
