Someone reported the Browns removed a clause from the Watson contract when they restructured his deal a few months ago. The tweet claimed the Browns could reclaim some of the guaranteed money if Watson was suspended again.
It turns out no clause like it was removed.
Have to ask why would Watson's agent have agreed to something like that? What would they have gotten in return? Thus, it didn't make sense.

And people act like his Browns tenure hasn't had any positives

You guys laugh, but if Watson stays healthy for two more games, there is a chance he has his most productive season since going to the Browns. Most touchdowns (maybe), most yards (maybe), most games played.
If not for how he got $230M guaranteed, I would say this is karmic justice. Unfortunately, it isn't. Except maybe for the Browns.

Unfortunately for the Browns, this quick settlement probably also scuttles any league investigation that could have put to the test the question of whether the Browns could get out of the contract.
Wise of his lawyers to get him to settle to secure the $92 mill left. Kills any chance of the Browns getting out of the final 2 years of the contract.

I’m glad the Browns can’t get out of this contract. The most dumbest trade and signing for an overrated bum. I mean, how was anyone going to respect this clown after everything he’s done.

Good to see the Browns funding victims of sexual assault. Gotta like when sports teams give back to the community.

Have to think his mental game is all out of whack. There are 53 men in that lockerroom- I'm sure some of them side eye him. If not them, the wives of some of those players probably do. Going into opposing stadiums has to be tough. I'd bet the fans are ruthless. Even going out in public probably comes with some negative attention. The elephant in the room is gigantic. Too damn large to ignore.
This will be an interesting 30 for 30 to watch in 5-10 years.

His career might be over. The Browns are better for it. He’s f***ing terrible at both football and being a human.
He might as well walk away from football at this point. He has guaranteed generationnal wealth, his football abilities are already shot, hated everywhere, no point coming back.

He's not going to retire since he's still owed ~90 million in salary. But I can't imagine he's gonna be rehabbing super hard.

he told them he wasn't a RB, should sue the league, team, tv networks and Stefanski
For him? no
For the rest of us, especially for some Browns fans who like those poor victims had him forced on them? Feels like unicorns and rainbows.
