1) Deshaun Watson, who recently settled 20 of 24 sexual misconduct civil lawsuits for an unspecified sum of cash, says he's in counseling for his behavior.

They intend to take their cases to trial.

2) The Cleveland Browns and Haslam Sports Group issued a statement this week in a bid to quash displeasure at a report that the team may ask Greater Cleveland to foot the bill for a $1 billion stadium. The team says it's only studying renovations. The team's lease on FirstEnergy Stadium expires in 2028. The Haslams have commissioned plans to develop a residential, retail and entertainment environment around a new or refurbished Browns stadium along the lakefront.
