And they’d still need one if they had Darnold Cleveland needs to dump salary. They are better off rolling with Brisset for a year than taking in Darnold Remember last year when Darnold beat the Jets and the media was like “He’s back!” I look forward to that storyline

I’m sure this 2018 first round QB will work out better for Carolina

Hoping everything is ok

Well now I don’t know if to give the browns credit for putting that in or being dumb enough to think there wouldn’t be more cases

I'm really wondering what "flashes" people see in Tua. Hes just been pretty meh to me. Like what skill is he about to unlock that is going to take him from being a low end starter to elite talent? I don't see it

I'm curious what the "out" is. My understanding was the contract was pretty much fully guaranteed. I also have to wonder what Haslam would consider unacceptable number of cases. 50? 60? 70? They've already given up a lot and were willing to take on the PR nightmare at 23 cases. 24 is suddenly too many? I don't buy that

If Tua just turns into a HOFer, he should be ok. Big if there

So why does he suck?

I bet he is like Duke silver with a banjo

I'd be surprised if Mayfield ever sets foot in the Browns facility again. To a lesser extent its whats happening with Jimmy G in SF. They decided to move on, no sense in trying to make the relationship work for what will ultimately be a short time Same thing the Bills did with Bledsoe and JP. Should the Bills have kept Bledose in case JP didnt play well? Yeah maybe, but it was decided they would be moving on so everyone parted ways. I get why Cleveland hasn't released him, but its only a matter of time. I think its more likely he spends a year as the 3rd QB, than starts for them

Sounds like my wife on a target run

They excused him from mandatory OTAs, I bet they do the same thing for TC

The Browns mortgaged their future on this guy like 3 months ago. They are hoping this goes away as quickly as possible

Watson isn’t getting cut. From what I’ve read that contract has no outs for the Browns. It’s truly an awful deal from their side. Even if he just played poorly, but this is a whole new level

I’m not surprised. Dude got paid, he only agreed to go there for the money.

They were a Chad Henne two yard pass away from an AFC Championship appearance 2 years ago. Now they have some serious questions marks and a black cloud over the franchise Glad they passed on Allen

Ah I hadn't realized that but it makes sense

I doubt Watson gets banned, but I could see an indefinite suspension with a chance to reapply after a year. Gives the NFL more time to make a call and possibly extend a suspension

I’d cancel my tickets. Maybe watch a game here or there but I can’t root for a guy like that. People here have mentioned Vick and at least in his case, he did a lot to try to change his old ways, spoke out against dog fighting, and really tried to turn a new leaf. I would have struggled there, but could have seen myself coming around on him Watson taking the field in Buffalo next year (as a visitor mind you) already makes me sick to my stomach.

Pretty clear this dude is an awful human and here is my prediction of his consequences

Good thing the Browns just gave him 230 million no matter what!

The way some people are defending Watson in this thread makes no sense to me. There is more than enough evidence that this dude is at a minimum a huge scumbag. I'm more worried about when this guy finally takes it too far and instead of asking (or forcing) a BJ, he does something far worse or ends up killing someone. He has a huge issue that he needs help with or this could be a much sadder story

I think it was a terrible job for anyone to have. Whoever watched Darnold's tape and was like " Yeah, that was only Adam Gase's fault" is a moron. Dude is careless with the football and hasn't improved since USC Then they fired Brady because Cam Newton (you know, the QB that they cut because he couldn't throw the ball anymore) didn't like him. Matt Rhule is a dead man walking. They should have just fired him last year

Jones is such an weird guy. He is very talented and makes some great plays and then he just does something dumb or a weird throw. I think he can be a replacement level starter. I could see him being like Trubisky and going to be a placeholder for a team. Maybe Daboll fixes him, but I doubt it
