Trade: [CLE/HOU] Deshaun Watson (signs 5 years, $230M) and 2024 5th for 2022, 2023, and 2024 1sts, 2023 3rd, 2024 4th

It’s a wrap for Watson, no team will touch him with a ten foot pole go and when Cleveland cuts him.

A once promising career derailed by off the field scandals, lawsuits and injuries.

But, honestly, when Bill O'Brien tells brady that they couldn't run a more NFL offence since Watson wasn't able to pick it up is a new revelation to most people who saw him in Houston. But, NFL DC's will figure a guy out which is one of the reasons Houston stopped winning as much the further into Watson's career they got. He couldn't improve the non physical parts of playing QB in the NFL.

See if the Browns insured the contract. They get cap relief for 2025 if they did. Since they owed him $130 mill at the start of the season, it would have been wise to insure it.

Browns need every cap dollar they can get. A lot of bills are coming due.

I don't think there's much point thinking about cap relief. He's going to be back for the 2025 season.

Insurance came up with the A-Rod injury. There was an article that the Jets didn't insure him, which if they did since he missed 2023, they could have gotten some relief in 2024 cap as they would have been able to apply a credit from the insurance for 2023 to their 2024 cap.

It is just simply ugly for the Browns moving forward.

They are probably better off without the cap credit so that they can blame that for their lack of success next year.
