The Cleveland Browns’ top brass reacted to the decision to suspend Deshaun Watson for six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy on Monday.

Former federal judge Sue L. Robinson issued her discipline after an investigation into the 24 civil lawsuits Watson faced accusing him of sexual assault. Watson settled with 23 of the 24 accusers.

Browns co-owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam released a joint statement on the Watson matter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski also commented on it during his media availability at training camp.

"Throughout this process, Deshaun and his representatives have abided by the newly created and agreed upon process for the NFLPA and the NFL to defer to the objective Judge Sue L. Robinson to comprehensively review all information and make a fair decision," the Haslams said.

"We respect Judge Robinson’s decision, and at the same time, empathize and understand that there have been many individuals triggered throughout this process. We know Deshaun is remorseful that this situation has caused much heartache to many and he will continue the work needed to show who he is on and off the field, and we will continue to support him."

Stefanksi reiterated he would respect Robinson’s decision at this time.
