  1. Its funny how the Browns are ridiculed, when a number of teams were bidding for Watson at the time. Those teams were offering similar money, Cleveland was the higher bidder. So….yeah it didnt work out but they had to make an aggressive move.

  2. Well nobody to blame but themselves. Sometimes a team thats "a QB away" is desperate to win now and makes an oopsie. But id rather be the like 9ers and waste some picks i dont really need than be the browns. Watson aint going nowhere lol

  3. Being in Cleveland, I remember when the Browns traded for him BEFORE knowing his suspension….and I could not believe it. Well, in a way, I could, because its the Browns lol then seeing what we gave up…Unreal.

  4. I believe part of the problem is the owner of the Cleveland browns was ignorant and unintelligent enough to actually believe the garbage propaganda that ESPN and the rest of the sports establishment was putting out about DeShaun Watson. As if he was going to be some savior to take them to multiple super bowls. They traded away their entire future for what arguably has to be the biggest sexual predator in the entire professional sports establishment.

    This along with a litany of other reasons is pure proof of why the federal government should stop all financial support and underwriting of anything associated with professional sports particularly the NFL.

    Let's see how many 3 billion stadiums get built when they're not stealing the money from taxpayers.

  5. It was the fool's dream that the Browns were a championship team that needed only the "right" quarterback. You can't shovel away that many draft picks and not feel it.

  6. To add insult to injury, Cleveland traded the 12th pick to Houston in 2017, which Houston used to draft D. Watson! I don’t remember what the QB situation was in Cleveland in 2017, but essentially they could have drafted Watson. Crazy stuff!
