I think there is a large contingent that was fully invested and still believes in mayfield, disagrees with the Browns decision overall, and that amplifies their feelings on Watson.

they didn’t have to because they knew he wouldn’t be taking the field …and won’t be making the decision until that time. Breer said to expect the decision in July.
I don’t know which is a worse look from the browns FO and ownership - that they did know all this and did this deal anyway or their “extensive research” was so shoddy they didn’t know all of this and just did this egregious fully guaranteed deal anyway. They crazy part is they didn’t NEED to do this - they chased him and chased him and begged him to lead their franchise. They brought this all on themselves. Jimmy Haslam’s ego has no bounds. Their “Chief Strategic Officer” Paul Depodesta is cashing paychecks with a ski mask on.
I don’t understand the question - this was just a quote from within the past 30 minutes. Beane is speaking right now. I wouldn’t have posted it previously as it didn’t exist.
