Browns agree to trade for Texans QB Deshaun Watson in deal that includes three first-round draft picks and 2 other selections
Watson will receive a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract from the Browns, per Rapoport.
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar
My friends who are Browns fans are already putting the spin on his civil suits in a favorable manner. It's taking everything within me to not respond, given the crap I took over Big Ben.

Steelers could have had him for that trading price, oh well, now we have to face two mobile QB's Lamar and Watson twice a year.
The Browns must have gone back to Watson and upped their new contract offer to get him to change his mind.
My opinion is that is an insane amount of guaranteed $$$ for a guy who still has some legal issues, will still probably get suspended at some point, and has sat out a whole year already.
No worries, the Browns will find a way to screw him up in a couple of years.
that is a TON to give up draft capital wise and the amount of $$$$ straps your ability in free agency to make up for the loss of so much draft capital ....

Give the Houston front office credit for waiting this whole thing out as long as they did............and it is rare when Houston's front office deserves credit !!
They stuck to their premise all along, which I thought was nuts, that they wanted 3 first round picks for Watson and were not going to accept less. I figured at some point they would have to settle for much less (maybe a first and a single 2nd rounder)........but they got what they wanted.
Now, if Trubisky somehow outperforms Watson over the next couple years, the reaction from Browns fans will be priceless at that point in time.
I must be missing something. I just don't see how Watson is that good. Houston hasn't sniffed SB or a champ game right?
In the AFC south, not really a know power house.
If the Steelers made this move I would be super down

Pre-rape: I was ALL for acquiring Watson. (Over a year ago, I started a thread about it.) Talent-wise: he’s amazing.
Post-rape: hard PASS!!!
Browns are gonna be better with Watson, still glad the Steelers got trubisky, not as talented but a good guy by all accounts - easy to root for….

I have been a Mahomes fan since before it was popular to be one ( use this board as reference as my twitter account is long gone ) with all that said look at Watsons 2020 season with inferior weapons to what Mahomes has
..
in 2020 Watson was statistically better with far inferior weapons ...
so in short Watson has the ability to be as good as Mahomes as he has done it with less in the past .... the question is can he do it consistently with a team that is going to be short handed weapons wise moving forward because of giving up 3 first round picks plus a 3rd and 4th and 230 million fully guaranteed dollars that will hurt their ability to make up for the loss of draft picks in free agency ....
so to say he isnt good or in the category of a Goff is nonsensical IMO

Somehow, you just know this isn't going to end well for Cleveland.![]()

He still has ~ 22 civil cases to resolve.
Ben was never charged, let alone went before a grand jury. One weak civil suit and one unsubstantiated, drunken accusation was enough for the league to suspend Ben for 8 games. Cleveland just sold the farm. They don't have a round 1 draft pick for the next 3 drafts, regardless of the outcome.

I've check the stats I agree, watched some YouTube. Apparently I don't watch many Houston games.
If Steelers did this I'd still be Leary. If he suspended a whole year it'll be sitting out 2 seasons.
With our current roster he could take us to a SB or 2 but there would be no money left to keep the rest of the team moving
