Cleveland was "out."

 

Then for Watson it suddenly became about the money and not the best situation 

 

Cleveland had to have come back and said OK what are they offering and we'll go ......

 

 

Should end well for them all.  


You sayin Atlanta and New Orleans had better roster/situation than Cleveland? 👀 Come on…

Just checked out Cleveland Browns reddit and wow I counted like 50 people cancelling their seasons. Probably about 5% of people happy with trade and that is pushing it.

 

  • NFL rules state that there must always be a sexual predator in the AFC North. Unfortunately it’s our turn.
  • I'll stick around for a bit to see the drama unfold but yeah I'm now a Bills fan I guess
  • bills mafia here we go
  • I ain't unsubbing but I'm rooting for the Lions from today. Browns are dead to me.
  • 20 ***** years I stood by this embarrassment of a team. 20 ***** years I proudly wore my gear while people mocked me. And then when we finally FINALLY have some semblance of a team to be even the tiniest proud of, they do this. I feel so betrayed. ***** you Jimmy Haslam. ***** you Andrew Berry.
  • ***** this dude. I'm so done. Still going to cheer for Myles and Chubb, and all the other great guys on the team, but I'm not giving the Haslams a ***** dime. I'm not buying any *****, I'm not going to any browns games when I'm back in Ohio. This is the most upset football has ever made me.
  • After 20 years the Browns finally found a way to break me.
  • I'm fully done with this team. I like some of the players, but no way can I root for that reprehensible scumbag
  • Honestly feels like a small part of me just died. Don’t care how dramatic it sounds. Been with this team my whole life through all the ups and downs. This is ***** terrible

So Houston got no players in this deal?  
 

Thought Houston said they wanted at least 1 or 2 players back in a trade too?

I think a big part of this is Watson needed to sign off on it and he maybe wouldn't if the Browns gutted the team he went to.

Every team (seems like) has a PrimeTime Baller at QB now…each one can toss 4k 30+ TDs and deliver last second game winning drives.

 

So…all eyes on Sean and Leslie…because the days of beating Trevor Siemian and Mike White are over.

Thank God for Zach Wilson, Tua Tags and Mac Jones!

I still think Watson is overrated and his only playoff win came against the Bills when Allen wasn't nearly the QB he is today and yet we probably should have won that game.

 

Also good chance Watson is still suspended by the NFL at some point and this is now another loaded division with the defending AFC champions, a healthy Ravens squad and Steelers team that still has a playoff caliber roster with an upgrade at QB now.

 

In other words don't be surprised if the Browns aren't even in the playoffs again this year.

There are A LOT of Baker Bros out there too. They aren’t ready to let him go.

Sounds like Browns fans finally got a reason to go to the airport!

Could be a hell of a "meet and greet".

Could be. The Texans sure are an effed up organization though, maybe even more than the Browns. You don’t trade that guy in Conference in his prime. You just don’t.

They can’t make him play, it is an asset that that had to sell.

They couldn’t. But they could have told him to report and if he didn’t play, he wouldn’t have been paid. Not sure how many seasons he would be willing to sit out under that threat. Maybe all of them, but Houston could have controlled it a bit. That being said, they clearly just didn’t care. They know they are going to be horrendous for a few years. Having 2+ firsts in each of the next 3 drafts will help.

He’s definitely a good QB not not top tier.  Top tier is Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert and Rogers.

 

The way I look at it, Watson had a pretty good Texans team and barely beat Allen back when we had sugar high Josh QBing us and we had a much less talented team.

 

Buffalo will smash the Browns when they come to Buffalo this year.

That's 6 servings of USDA Prime Porterhouse.

Realistically they should be 12-0 in division since Brady left.  Wind Game Obviously.

 

Its just against my nature of believing one team just alwAys wins ALL their division games for extended periods.

 

I think I’ll say 5-1 in division in 2022.

The NFL’s hypocrisy with Watson is ridiculous. They are cramming all of these pro women agendas down our throat but then they welcome Watson back with open arms as soon as they believe there will be no criminal charges. That doesn’t mean he didn’t molest all these women. 
 

it’s a joke.

Got to rest the starters for the last game of the season.

The fist time in 25 years where we have a contender.....as well as 5 other Super Bowl contenders in the AFC. This move really pisses me off

On paper there’s some good teams, I guess we will know by mid season who's real.

The Browns were more than just a QB away last year. 2020 I think they beat the chiefs with a better QB. But may not have beaten the Bills. 
 

I see them as a factor in their division but think they are a WC team. People laying all the blame on Baker didn’t really pay attention. They need an upgrade at QB to have compete in the playoffs but they aren’t ready made as a team or coaching wise.

100% accurate and what I said too.

 

Watson is an upgrade over Mayfield, but is he even a fit there given their a built to be a physical, power running team? What happens to that now and who is he even going to throw the ball to?

 

I actually feel sorry for the Browns fans who suffered many years like Buffalo because this situation has disaster written all over it and still can't fathom why any team would give up so much for a guy who signed a big extension already and quit on his team and demanded to be traded. Going to be hilarious when he does the same thing in Cleveland when they are no better than 3rd place in their division this year.

Allen will never go 4-12 like Watson did in his last year with the Texans.  Even as a bad as our roster was in 2018, with Brady in our division...he went 5-6 and was ascending.  


Watson is a more athletic Kirk Cousins.  He will put up numbers and have his team in WC contention every year.

Go back and look again. Great arm, accurate, mobile and smart. He's a very good QB who was top 5 two years ago, the last time he played.  

 

DeSean Watson is good. DeSean Watson doesn't scare me.

I like this comment.

"Yeah - they didn't have a plan. Clearly - when Baker said no dice they panicked and bought Watson. Pffft. What a disaster. The guy does not want to play for Cleveland - but for $230M he'll show up.
