The Cleveland Browns announced the acquisition of QB Deshaun Watson a few days after his shocking change of heart in choosing Cleveland over New Orleans and Atlanta. Since that announcement, the team has not shared much else about Watson’s arrival.
While other teams celebrate their newest coaches, general managers and players’ arrival, the Browns have kept mostly silent regarding their new quarterback. Given the civil allegations pending against him and the only recently cleared criminal cases, the silence makes sense.
While the team hasn’t been celebrating Watson with public relations moves, they have reportedly agreed to a huge contract with the young quarterback. Currently, nothing related to Watson is on the home page of the team’s website.
Instead of a team video of Watson’s arrival, we got this one shot over the fence in Berea:

Instead of a team photoshoot, Instagram provided us images of Watson being joined by Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Greg Newsome II stepping foot on FirstEnergy Stadium’s field:
It is great to see Cleveland’s most recent top draft picks joining together to welcome Watson to the team. Given the circumstances surrounding the quarterback, it will be interesting how much PR efforts the team puts into his acquisition or do they stay relatively low-key as they have with him so far.
A press conference is expected today to introduce Watson to the media. GM Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski will speak in person while owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam will conduct a remote session on Zoom.
