Cleveland Browns (Finally drafting Buckeyes)

While I am a Bengals fan, I would rather see an Ohio team win if it's not us. And the Bengals and their fans don't have much room to talk in terms of bad management over my lifetime despite finally finding our way into the SB. I say that as a preface because objectively the Watson/Baker saga was one of the most poorly managed situations I have seen in the NFL. I don't think the Browns are missing anything with Baker leaving (because let's be real, screw him and he is at best a mediocre QB in the league), but paying what Cleveland did for a QB that probably will get half of the year or more on the pine this year is really just baffling. I would have tried to bring Tim Couch back at a league-minimum salary over paying what they did for Watson under the circumstances.

I probably don't understand this whole thing, but as I understand it the Clowns traded their first round picks for the next three years, signed a guy who was suspended all of the 21 season for "alleged" sexual assault issues, signed him to the biggest guaranteed contract, pissed off a chunk of their fan base and many fellow NFL owners, and will most likely lose him for the entire 22 season.

Now, they could have kept the only QB who took them anywhere since their rebirth and let him play out his final year. And if he didn't play as a top 5 QB in 22, they could then go after Watson after the 22 season or maybe draft another QB, or both.

Instead, they lose all those picks, lose what could have been a competitive season (I'm not referring to his contract, but instead the season of his teammates like Myles), and will probably have another losing season setting up the Texans for a premium draft choice.

I wonder if this is playing out how the smartest guys in the room figured it would?

Clowns fans are actually the DFBIA. After this debacle the Clowns will come asking for a billion dollar tax hike to pay for their new stadium and these patsies will line up to agree to it.

Only in the NFL are billionaire owners socialist when it comes to taxes and paying for anything themselves.

The Clowns gave him a shot when he was nuclear waste and then extended him at $6M/per to be a part-timer. Fuck this turd.
