Deshaun Watson: Mike Florio makes bold claim over suspension possibility

Pro Football Talk reporter Mike Florio has dropped an interesting claim regarding the possible suspension of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Writing for ProFootballTalk, Florio explained how a source close to the situation claimed that there was ‘a
