Watson ruptures achillies, may miss all of 2025 season

I'm pretty sure the trade for Deshaun will go down as the worst in history if it hasn't already. And his contract is also probably the worst in history, for the team and for the NFL.

The whole idea of the salary cap is to provide parity. How much parity is there when a player who isn't even on the field is getting $73 million in each of the next two years? The team is screwed. I don't know what the answer is but something needs to happen with these absurd QB contracts.

The idea of the salary cap is to prevent the richest teams winning every season and those with less money not having a chance. This means success depends on making the right decisions. It's not perfect the richest owners take advantage of cap inflation to pay players using the next 2-3 years of cap space.

Certainly there is some luck involved if the Browns had sold the farm to get Mahomes and suddenly he starting losing a lot of time to injury I would have some sympathy but Watson was full of red flags and not only did they give up a load of draft capital to get him but they gave him a huge amount of guaranteed money, my understanding however is they are not in cap hell as they can afford to use future cap space I heard somewhere that even if you take out Watson's pay the total salary of the Browns is 8th highest in the league.

Meanwhile Houston is doing pretty darn well. They got that back hole off their team and killed the draft. Now they are up and coming. No puns intended.

Just stick a fork in him, I can''t see him ever playing again. No other NFL team would take a chance on this loser.

He'll retire comfortably with all the millions he got paid for doing diddly.

He'll start his own massage parlour that specializes in happy endings.

The owners management have to stop drooling over the QB. They act as it is the only position that matters. There are 53 players on the team

Was the browns trade worse than the broncos trading for Russ? Cause the broncos wasted no time acting like Russ never happened

At this point, his whole NFL career will feature a happy ending!

Definitely the worst trade in NFL history.

Russ played for two years for the Broncos, and actually played fairly well the second year. Not to the expected level based on what they gave up for him.....but he didn't suck in year two. I don't think either trade was good for the team receiving the player.....but the browns trade was worse.

Does the browns trade cost more?

Yes. Way more. Both in terms of picks and $$$$
