Despite reports that the current Texans quarterback was not interested in joining the Cleveland team, Deshaun is going to Cleveland for five years and a record-breaking $230 million guaranteed. Texans will get three first-round picks and two additional picks.
It looks like a trade request that had been denied just a few days ago may be granted to Baker Mayfield now that the Cleveland Browns have pulled the rug out from under him.
After being accused of sexual assault by 22 different women, he sat out the entire season. After prosecutors decided not to indict him, he still faces 22 civil lawsuits, yet the league decided that he wasn't bad enough and offered him a record-setting guaranteed salary.
If he faces a suspension from the league, his base salary for the next two years will be $1 million, which will allow him to minimize his financial losses. His signing bonus is over forty million dollars. His contract is more than the one that Rodgers will get from the Packers.
