Deshaun Watson: Houston Texans quarterback set to report for training camp despite still seeking trade…See more 

As of February 22, 2025, Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. He was traded from the Houston Texans to the Browns in March 2022. The trade occurred after Watson requested a move from the Texans following the 2020 season and subsequently faced legal challenges, including 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. Despite these issues, Watson reported to the Texans’ training camp in July 2021 to avoid a daily $50,000 fine, though his desire for a trade remained unchanged. citeturn0search0

In August 2022, Watson was suspended for 11 games and fined $5 million by the NFL due to violations of the league’s personal conduct policy. Since serving his suspension, Watson has been active with the Browns, leading the team as their primary quarterback.

Currently, the NFL is in its offseason, with teams preparing for the upcoming 2025 season. Training camps are scheduled to commence in the summer, and Watson is expected to participate fully with the Browns as they aim for a successful season.
