THE 230 MILLION DOLLAR MISTAKE BY THE LAKE

I hate when bad things happen to bad dudes. The Cleveland Browns fans thought they were actually getting a quarterback with the trade that brought them Deshaun Watson in a deal with the Houston Texans back in 2022. The Browns ignored the off-the-field baggage that came with Watson. They elected not to re-sign the guy that helped them win their last playoff game back in 2020 in Baker Mayfield. Thinking Mayfield was a bust could be a different story in present day. Before Mayfield you have to go back to the late 1980’s when Bernie Kosar was the Browns QB. An actual quarterback sighting behind center by Lake Erie in Cleveland. On Sunday versus the Cowboys, Watson looked like a pile of heap on the field as one of the biggest dogs in sports has worN out his welcome at the Dawg pound in Cleveland. The Watson deal the Browns agreed to looks well… lopsided. Besides paying out of their nose for him and having to give up a ton of draft capital that helped rebuild the Texans. Now emerging out of the woodwork IS another girl that has a beef with the great Watson. The poor play on the field is now the clincher. This is a guy that feels like he still has not done anything wrong. A PR nightmare, too much money, the future of your team in draft picks gone, guaranteed contract ,and not cutting the mustard on the field. May go down as the worst trade in NFL history.

On Sunday Deshaun Watson completed only 53.3% of his passes versus the Cowboys. The Cowboys sacked him six times, forced two interceptions, and embarrassed the Browns 33-17. Watson was 0-14 throwing passes beyond 15 yards down field. He has played in 13 games in three seasons as he suspended 11 games by the NFL for being sued by 25 different women which equals out to a baseball roster. Watson only played in six games last season as he had a season ending shoulder surgery. Watson has started 13 games and has a record of 8-5 behind center for the Browns. He completed only 59.15 of his passes and tallied up 2,386 passing yards with 15 touchdowns to 11 interceptions, all in a Cleveland uniform. Before coming to Cleveland, Watson made three consecutive Pro Bowls. He was one of the top n5 quarterbacks in the NFL in 2020. Would you justify the 230 million guaranteed contract and all the draft picks to Houston for this lackluster performance? The Browns gave the Texans a 2022 first round pick, 2022 4th round pick, 2023 first round pick, a 2023 3rd round pick, & then another first round pick in 2024 along with a 4th round pick in the draft back in April. Is Watson worth 3 first round picks and all that guaranteed money? No way in hell. The Texans front office fleeced the desperate Browns. The Texans knocked the Browns out of post-season last season to further rub salt in the wounds of Cleveland fans. Watson could not play in that game because of the shoulder.

Then the former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield who helped the Browns win their first playoff game in 2020. Which was the first time the Browns won a playoff game since the 1990’s when Bill Belicheck was the head coach in Cleveland. Before the Patriots dynasty. On Sunday Mayfield was awesome hitting 24-30 passes for 289 yards while throwing 4 touch down passes in a win over the Commanders. He completed 80% of his passes for the Buccaneers. Last year he earned a Pro Bowl nod leading the Buccaneers to the playoffs. He won his second playoff game of his career as he led the pummeling of the Eagles 32-9 in the first round of the NFL post-season. Mayfield has a 10-8 record with Tampa Bay in the second season as he completed 65.1% of his passes and has 32 touchdown passes compared to only ten interceptions. Mayfield did struggle in his last season with the Browns as he played through an agonizing injury that basically ended his time in Cleveland trying to do his best through the pain. Buccaneers gave Mayfield a three year deal worth 100 million as only 50 of it is guaranteed. If the Browns would have stuck with Mayfield, they could have all their draft capital back and be paying much less for the man behind center and have better results on the field. They could probably use the extra scratch to bring in other free agents to help the overall of the Browns roster. Then having somebody that really cares about the team and the city of Cleveland, unlike the sociopath Watson.

In October of 1989 the Vikings were the Cleveland Browns and helped the other Texas team in a blockbuster trade that benefited one team and one team only. The Cowboys sent power running back Hershel Walker to Minnesota for a boat load of picks. All the draft picks helped build the Cowboys dynasty in the 1990’s where they collected three Superbowl trophies in four tries. That was the worst trade in the history of the NFL until the Watson deal because of which the Browns have handcuffed themselves in the basement like the gimp in the movie Pulp Fiction.

Could the 26th woman bail out the Cleveland Browns with her being the newest law suit in the works filed? These against Deshaun Watson who likes to dial up the massages more than throwing touchdown passes. All the prior lawsuits were settled out of court. This newest Jane Doe wants this one to head to court as she’s looking to get this sexual predator off the streets with a jury trial. Because Watson came over expecting more than just a dinner from this girl his representatives set up. An open door does not lead to an automatic roll in the hay with the super quarterback being rough. It has the same memo as the other cases as the massage leads to sexual assault. Except this new girl was not a massage therapist. As Watson invaded her bedroom while she’s getting ready and demands his buttocks be massaged. Can a trial lead to a breach of contract with Watson and the Browns? Could the NFL step in once again and suspend this guy for longer or even be done with this monster? You wonder who’s running the Cleveland Asylum in the first place. Knowing what they know about all these girls sexually harassed and assaulted before signing him. Then the Browns front office decided not to bring back Joe Flacco. A guy that guided the Brown back to the playoffs after the injury to Watson. After the ineffective replacements for Watson. The newest back up former Saint and Buccaneer, Jameis Winston is one of Watson’s best friends. This is what happens when you sign a deal with the devil. All the dominoes that have fallen have kicked this Cleveland franchise harder than Art Modell moving them to Baltimore in the middle of the night. It’s because you paid this turd guaranteed money. The Browns ownership & front office have painted themselves into a corner and can’t escape as the DAWG pound is getting hungry, angry like a junk yard dog craving Watson’s black buttocks for blood. This go around he get a tweak he will never forget.
