What happened: The public was fully aware of the allegations and the accompanying risk of a league mandate against Deshaun Watson.

Why it matters: The franchise invested three first-round picks and a fully guaranteed $230 million contract to secure the position. Former starter Baker Mayfield still holds the most quarterback wins since the team returned in 1999.

What to watch: The Browns start Watson against the Buccaneers on Sunday, with plans to re-evaluate the position for Week 3.
