With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it’s a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:
- 11 full games at QB
- 7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
- 3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)
Reminder that his cap hit in each of the next three years is a little over 300% what it was this year.
Is haslam the worst owner in the league? You know he was behind the fully guaranteed part
If you’ve ever believed in karma, it’s at least happening to the browns.
For three first round picks, the barometer should really be higher than simply one step above average.
I still remember when they benched Jacoby B having a very good year for Watson. This type of stuff couldn’t be happening to a better organization
Doesn’t seem to be hurting them particularly when they’re 7-4 when he plays
To be fair, they might be 40% of the way thru the duration of the contract, but they have to swallow 83% of the cap-hit for the contract.
I’m measuring it in sadness over time, so it’s actually pretty appealing that it’s 40% through.
The lasting negative impact of cap hits and wasted talent will just feel like business as usual, just without a serial sexual predator bringing down the whole vibe.
Guys, Deshaun can get massages now! Lol!
Guys, they could have kept Baker Mayfield for HALF that money. They would be superbowl contenders with Baker right now.
DUCKS
I gotta know, did you make this on short notice? Or did you have it in the vault
Another banger post as per usual
