Ha! For a team that was arguably the luckiest team in football history by getting the #1 pick the years Manning and Luck were available, I hope they continue to struggle in QB mediocrity for 50 more years.
Luck? The Colts got Luck because they tanked the season. Skill, not Luck involved there. See what I did?

So sounds like Watson to the Browns is happening

They converted his salary to bonus. If he's suspended he loses like 500K instead of millions.

Pretty gross.

Way too high a price for me,… picks and contract together you’d better win multiple division titles and make a super bowl appearance or this is a failure,… Watson is an upgrade from Mayfield but idk if he’s THAT big an upgrade,…

He's still only the second or arguably, third best quarterback in the division.

It’s lower than I was expecting honestly. They wanted 3 1sts plus players.

What did the browns give up? I can't find that info.

*Edit - found it. Three 1s and two other picks. They wanted like Three 1s and 5 players I think, didnt they? Surprised Baker was not packaged in there for Texans to repackage for something else.

I’m seeing Browns fans celebrating that we got one of the top five QBs in the league,….. no we didn’t. We got maybe a top ten guy… huge gap between a top ten and a top five.

Tough to respect browns ownership, management, and fans being ok with guaranteeing 230 million dollars and a ton of draft capital to bring in a P.O.S. As the QB, de facto leader, and face of the franchise no less.

Watson's a good QB, but not a great one. I can't see any way he's worth what they gave for him. Only two or three guys in the league are worth that much.

They probably should have taken Howell in the draft instead and picked up a cheap loaner QB until Howell was ready. Frickin' Browns, man...

1 Mahomes
2 Allen
3 Rodgers
4 Brady
5 Burrow
6 Dak
7 Watson
8 Wilson
9 Herbert
10 Lamar

Something like that? I had him at 6 before Voldemort Brady decided to return.

i got Wilson and Herbert above Watson easy,… I’d consider Stafford and Murray too honestly,… maybe others also. Hell, the last time Baker and Watson both played Baker had a better qbr

Wilson was pretty rough last year. He was hurt though so who knows how he'll come back. Herbert and Murray both took big steps backwards. They could end up better but idk.

I think either way he's fringe top 5. He was also playing with garbage around him his last year in Houston.

No matter the cost I think Browns had to do it. Probably the only way they were going to get a top10 QB in Cleveland was to guarantee that much cash.

Looks like I’m in the minority, but I would put Watson in the top five. Is he worth that price? Probably not.
