Jimmy Haslam put a number on it: 100.

“Absolutely,” the Cleveland Browns owner declared of his comfort level in having suspended quarterback Deshaun Watson on his team. “100%. 100%.”

Add that to the smorgasbord of big numbers attached to Watson. He agreed to a settlement on Thursday that included an unprecedented $5 million fine on top of an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, stemming from 24 women making allegations of sexual misconduct during massage sessions.
