NFL closes investigation into Deshaun Watson due to lack of evidence

profootballtalk.nbcsports.com — December 6, 2024 at 09:01 PM UTC

The NFL has closed its investigation into Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson due to insufficient evidence. The league found no violation of its Personal Conduct Policy following a recent lawsuit that was settled. Watson was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 over multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. The recent lawsuit, filed in September, was resolved, limiting the NFL's ability to gather evidence. With the investigation concluded, Watson faces no new suspension. The Cleveland Browns are committed to paying him $46 million in both 2025 and 2026.
