CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns cornerback Greg Newsome said he was surprised as the rest of the NFL when quarterback Deshaun Watson changed his mind and picked Cleveland as his new team. Newsome was the first Browns player to speak about Watson, the former Houston quarterback who will be bringing legal baggage with him. Watson faces 22 civil lawsuits from massage therapists accusing him of sexual harassment.

The Browns traded six draft picks, including three first-rounders to the Texans for Watson.
