      I honestly am starting to feel like he had accepted that he was never going to play in the nfl again. Then the Texans said they would trade him and probably to his surprise teams came calling. He was probably like “what? I can get another chance?” Then guaranteed money became involved and he really probably perked up “All I have to do is act like I want to play and half ass try? And they’re just going to guarantee that they will give me money? Are they stupid? They’re just going to give me some money no matter what I do?” Then when the amount of guaranteed money came about I think he for sure thought “I’m gonna take these dumb mfers to the cleaners. And then fade away into obscurity with all my money.”

    For Watson to be worth the trade capital and salary cap investment, he would need to be a top-3 QB in the league every year and be a major player in the Browns winning at least one SB.

    Even if Watson was good and the Browns don’t go to the playoffs that’s already a disaster. If he plays at his current level for the next few years, it’s one of the worst trades in NFL history because the Browns will likely have to shelf what is one of the better all-around teams in football because they have a QB who cannot be traded or cut without destroying their salary cap, and by the time he can walk many of these players will be over the hill or retired entirely.

      I think they get forgiven a ton if they win a sb, even if he never scratches the top ten mark. It’ll be looked at as a dumb deal, but ultimately that Lombardi in Cleveland would erase any other thoughts.

    When they gave a sexual predator a guaranteed contract. They gave a bunch of money to a guy that couldn’t get hired as a P.E coach.
