They were out of the trade-for-Watson sweepstakes before they returned at the final hour with an unparalleled offer: A five-year, fully guaranteed, $230m deal, the first of its kind in NFL history. The Browns don’t believe Watson and they don’t care – because they’re OK hiding behind the shield of touchdowns and talent and wins and Lombardi’s and parades and yet-to-be-unveiled initiatives and community work and a collective interest in moving on in the what’s-next, social media age.

Kyle said that Watson’s penis allegedly touched her hand intentionally and that he ejaculated. He was moving his penis back and forth as my hands moved as well.” I just kept massaging and did what he asked until his penis kept touching me repeatedly as I did it. “So, go across his stomach to his thighs, back to his stomach. “He wanted me to kinda make a V motion in his pelvic area,” she said.
