Deshaun Watson’s tenure in Cleveland has been a failure — and even the Browns are admitting it.
“We took a big swing and miss with Deshaun,” Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told reporters Monday at the NFL owners meetings in Florida.
The Browns traded for Watson in March 2022 when he was facing dozens of lawsuits for sexual misconduct, but Cleveland took the chance anyway, acquiring him in a deal with the Texans and then proceeding to pay him more guaranteed money than anyone in NFL history at the time with a five-year, $230 million contract.
