“I really, truly, honestly have no regrets of my time in Cleveland of what I tried to give to that place,” Mayfield said. “True Clevelanders and true Browns fans know that.”
Watson still faces myriad civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct, though he maintains that he “never assaulted” or “disrespected any woman.”
