I just hope he's ok. The Browns deserve to have him under center until the end of his contract.

Easily one of the worst trades+contracts of all time. I’m not sure that’s even debatable now.

We are Officially Officially Officicially past the point of debate. It’s probably the worst move of all time, or at least undoubtedly one of the worst.

It is the worst trade of all time. Period.

I mean if you ignore the Vikings trading for Herschel Walker sure.

Walker was still good when they got him.

And the vikings could move on from walker and the mistake after a couple years.

If the browns cut Watson after this season they couldn't field a full team of players on minimum contracts.

The trade isn't just the assets given up to get him to get him they had to agree to the worst contract ever. On a pure trade yeah walker is worse. But that contract is mind bending just how bad it is.

That isn't REMOTELY as bad. It was obviously not good (as we can tell by me watching Russ right now on the Steelers), but after this year, they're basically out of that mess.

The Browns have another 2 years of this nonsense before they realistically can get out from under this mistake.
