A detailed account of what Watson said under oath is published in USA Today and ProFootballTalk.
Deshaun Watson testified under oath in a deposition that a massage therapist once left crying after one of his appointments. I don't know who needs to hear this, but that is not normal. #Browns https://t.co/eA6KqJOmoL
