They're not sure when they might get to again. The Browns decided to move on from 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield, traded three first-round picks to the Texans and signed Watson to a five-year, $230 million contract in March despite his legal entanglement.Browns coach Kevin Stefanski plans to play Watson and “most” of Cleveland's starters against the Jaguars. The team did not get any more specific about Stefanski's plans before flying to Florida.
Watson's playing future is now being decided by Peter C. Harvey, appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to handle the appeal. Harvey's a former New Jersey Attorney General who has arbitrated other league cases and is a member of the NFL’s Diversity Advisory Committee.Goodell said the league's appeal was warranted based on the league's own investigation and Robinson's ruling.
