I don't know about that, but it's not a good look for them. Whether that could be a basis to void the trade would depend on a whole lot of things, like the extent of their knowledge, what they disclosed to the Browns, and of course, what are legitimate grounds to void a trade under league rules. I mean, just based on the publicly available information, the Browns certainly knew they were trading for a lowlife pervert, or if they didn't, they're complete idiots.

NY Times is reporting that Watson utilized the services of at least 66 massage therapists over 17 months...and that the Texans knew about it and even provided him non-disclosure agreements for the women to sign...all totally normal.

Good point. But if Watson is suspended for a full season—on top of playing zero football for the past 18 months—I think the guy’s career is pretty much in the toilet. As it is, I don’t think Watson will ever be what he was before he was revealed to be a perverted menace to massage therapists. As we’ve learned, playing QB in the NFL is as much about leadership as anything, and a guy like this is never going to lead an NFL franchise again.

And this is exactly why evidence of what he did with the other women will be admissible at trial... I know there are a lot of victims here, but I am enjoying the hell out of seeing this dumpster fire get worse and worse for the Browns, Watson and his laughably bad defense team...Caserio must be laughing his ass off...

Congrats! Love that course, but can't remember the fifth hole...it's been too long.

Here in Portland, if you are “houseless”, you can do anything short of first degree murder without any consequences…exposing yourself in public would not even garner a second look from most passersby…

Why would this topic possibly be of interest on TSW…unless you were going to link to Instagram photos of the friend’s wife?

That’s just not true.

I'm sure the Texans, who hold the Browns 2023 first round pick, are hoping for this...

So you’re saying Mayfield is going to simply refuse to play and will walk away from $20 million? Or are you saying the Browns will just refuse to pay him, even though his contract is fully guaranteed? Dude…that article is from before the draft and talks about Mayfield sitting out training camp, not real games….you’re entering crusade/ 🤡 territory now…

Oh yeah? How is Baker “not going to see that $20 million from Cleveland?” Is the team going to file for bankruptcy? How is that going to happen, other than a trade, which is highly unlikely at this point?

That’s just not how it works. Mayfield cannot fake an injury and still get paid $20 million. Also, I thought the fifth year option was not guaranteed in the case of injury….can anyone confirm that?

Brissett is not a real option for more than a couple games…

Wrong. The team would have him examined by an independent physician. Just saying “I’m hurt” doesn’t cut it.

That will really help Mayfield’s career… Clearly an unhappy ending.

Then who will the Browns roll out there when Watson is suspended?

Wrong. If he refuses to play, he gets nothing.

Mayfield is under contract to Cleveland for a lot of $ for 2022. If Watson misses significant time, Mayfield will play, unless he’s traded first, but that’s looking more and more unlikely. Mayfield has no real choice. He’s not going to sit out. He’ll play, whether he likes it or not.

Well, Watson received full pay last year, while serving an unacknowledged suspension. If Watson has to sit out all or a substantial portion of this season, you have to wonder if he’ll ever be anything close to what he was as a player….

Yawn…he’s done. Breed’s arm was completely shot by his last season…I doubt it’s gotten better after 18 months on the couch.

Exactly. Like Ryan Tannehill.

He’s better than Wilson right now, but that doesn’t mean that most teams would rather have him than Wilson. There’s a chance that Wilson will become a very good QB…less likely that Mayfield will.

Don’t forget Howie Long!

They also drafted a CB on day 3 who I believe they like a lot…I don’t see them adding someone like Bradberry at this point.

He also needs to understand that any competent GM with Ryan Tannehill as his QB will always be looking to upgrade the position.
