The NFL and the NFL Players Association have agreed to suspend Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for 11 regular season games without pay and fine him $5 million after he was accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women.

Twenty-four civil lawsuits were filed against Watson; 23 have been settled confidentially. Two grand juries in Texas declined to charge Watson criminally.

"I'm moving on with my career and my life, and I'm going to continue to stand on my innocence," Watson told the media Thursday. "Just because settlements and things like that happen, doesn't mean that person is guilty for anything."
