Deshaun Watson cannot catch a break, as the drama has a new development. The QB made his season premiere as a Brown and made a remorseful statement before the game. But the concern now revolves around one of his press conference remarks, when the Browns QB made a defending statement. It alarmed NFL Senior Advisor Rita Smith, who also made a strong claim.

Rita Smith spoke to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com in the wake of Deshaun Watson’s suspension period getting a raise. But the NFL Advisor pointed out that despite his apologetic remark, he now stands by his innocence at a press conference. Smith aggressively spoke about the quarterback’s attitude and claimed he could dupe everyone.

More Deshaun Watson drama dumps in

Rita Smith spoke during a telephonic conversation on Friday, “I feel like he’s playing us. He’s saying exactly what he thinks he needs to say to get on the field again. He’s not thinking strategically at all about ‘Did I cause harm to other people?’ He’s not questioning any of his behaviors at all. He’s absolutely certain from that last statement ‘I’ve done nothing wrong. This is all about people trying to get at me, and I just want to go play ball.’”

Smith further claimed that such intensity is not conducive to future recidivism, and he remains a danger to others. The senior NFL advisor further called that he had done practically no self-reflection. There aren’t too many breaches recorded by people who aren’t doing anything unlawful.

Browns All-Pro Veteran saw the QB1 hate coming

The league permitted Deshaun Watson to participate in the preseason before they imposed his suspension. However, Jacksonville supporters mocked him for his debut at TIAA Bank Field. However, the Browns’ four-time Pro Bowler, Joel Bitonio, anticipated the boos and had to confront them while en route.

The All-Pro Guard mentioned that the team got booed less when Deshaun left the game. But if they go to an away game, they boo you anyway. However, he believes the scenario will be “Cleveland versus the World,” and they will prepare accordingly.
