He demanded out, even though he put up big numbers, the team was nowhere near the playoffs.

Then the scandals hit.

Even without scandals he wanted out. With the scandals he needs a fresh start but the problem is NFL may still suspend him.


Browns have some big contracts so it's their time now. They will have contracts come up for Chubb soon I would think.

They were suppose to be one of the top contenders last year.


Supposedly Watson had rejected Cleveland earlier because he didn't like northern cities? Maybe the weather?

3 1st round picks and 230 million guaranteed for an a-hole seems like a big investment. I would have tried to beat the offer for Wilson.

Wilson is going to get a similar type deal in 2 years. Plus Watson is better. Younger.

It's a **** ton of money. But Wilson himself isn't taking a discount. Which is precisely why the team has been open to dealing him for some time now.

Dont think its all that crazy of a deal. I think he's just outside the top 5 of QBs, he is going to just turn 27 when the next season starts and Cleveland knows they're going to have to overpay initially to become a stronger FA destination. Cleveland finally gets that top tier QB that they have been looking for since forever.

Also find it funny how just yesterday the Browns were "eliminated" from the Watson talks haha.
