Deshaun Watson was recently handed a six-game suspension. It came after the ruling of the lawsuit. The 26-year-old had settled with almost everyone who had pressed charges against him. The small suspension didn’t receive a positive response from the majority of the public.

Almost everyone thought that Watson would be handed a much longer suspension. The Cleveland Browns’ owners also released a new statement following the announcement of the suspension.

The statement released by the Browns’ owners wrote, “We respect Judge Robinson’s decision, and at the same time, empathize and understand that there have been many individuals triggered throughout this process. We know Deshaun is remorseful that this situation has caused much heartache to many and he will continue the work needed to show who he is on and off the field, and we will continue to support him.”

The franchise didn’t mention that Watson was completely innocent. It was a contrasting statement to what they said earlier when they traded for Watson. They mentioned that the athlete was “remorseful”. Undoubtedly, Deshaun Watson didn’t want to end up in the situation that he ended up in.
