Signs criticizing Deshaun Watson were placed on Jim Brown's statue outside the Cleveland Browns stadium after he was named starting quarterback.
Someone taped signs on the Jim Brown statue outside Cleveland Browns Stadium protesting the team's decision to start Deshaun Watson. Watson was named the season's starting quarterback by coach Todd Monken after appearing in a preseason loss to Buffalo. Watson has been controversial since signing a five-year, $230 million contract in 2022 and was suspended 11 games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after more than two dozen women accused him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage therapy sessions.
