All ****ing IN! It's time
He's still on the PUP.
He should be cut/banned instantly if any of that is true. Congrats to Deshaun Watson, you are no longer the worst person on the Browns.
Agree, I just read the police report details, he's a POS if true. You can find the details if you like, Daryl Ruiter posted them on the Audacy website.
He shouldn't play a down in the NFL, and probably shouldn't be in society. Whether its prison or a psych ward. This is not a person who should be on the street.
Nice to not be worried about the D. I had interest in seeing Watson / Jeudy play behind the first team OL, but the big uglies weren't healthy. I'll be hyper focused on that group early week 1.
Even with my comments above I encourage anyone who has listened in the past to go back to yesterdays show around 5pm and listen to Dustin's announcement. Some of the best radio he's ever done, wish him well & much happiness.
Trent Williams?
Not necessarily anyone. Creates flexibility for a deadline move, but if there isn't one roll it over like we've done the last several years.

He carries $120m of dead cap if cut.This didn't take long.,
Pull the plug before it's too late
We cannot do a full season of this. We cannot do three weeks of this.

Watson looks completely broken. Regardless of the OL.

Given the amount of money involved and the ramifications of pulling the plug I think you have to give him the year unless it just becomes apparent that the Watson we saw yesterday is all that is left of the once dominate QB. If he doesn't turn it around, it's a lost season no matter what you do, Joe Flacco isn't coming through the door to save the season.I write this understanding the audience, but it does not appear you understand how the salary cap works.Browns have $49m in cap space right now, projected $66m under water next yr, and $22m under the yr after.

This isn't about me or what I understand. But thank you. This is about asking a question as to what folks would do.
The Browns article I linked to suggests pulling the plug and dealing with the cap disaster is the best course.
I asked folks here what they would do with Watson if they ran the team,
Maybe others will have an answer there.
Well see that's part of the problem, we didn't see him all summer. To me these next few games are essentially Watson's preseason. He hasn't seen live action in a lotta months.

And if you do nuke the contract, it's going to be a lot of lost seasons coming up until they get out from under it. I think if you do that, you lose some vets as well. Ain't nobody gonna want to play on this team.
Yea it was all rainbows & puppy dogs up until yesterday. As Cleveland fans I think we are numb to a lot of stuff most fanbases aren't accustomed to. All I heard was Watson was making all the throws in practice, they were keeping him on a schedule so his practice was limited, didn't play a snap in the pre-season so we didn't have any real idea of what to expect other than what we were being told by media.
What you don't appear to be understanding is they literally cannot do what you're asking. No restructures of other contracts can create the space to cut him in 2024. Would need to trade several vets in front of the deadline to begin to potentially entertain it and if that's the play then deferral to March 2025 would be optimal so there are more players in the market.I write this understanding the audience, but it does not appear you understand how the salary cap works.Browns have $49m in cap space right now, projected $66m under water next yr, and $22m under the yr after.

I'd say that because I am a fan doesn't necessarily put me closer to it. A guy like @MAC_32 who is literally there is probably a better source, I'm just chatty
I hear Stephen A Smith went on one of his tangents about Watson. Just read the byline, but didn’t watch it.
I so badly want to pull the plug. I'd like to think if I ran the team, I would have never made this move for Watson in the first place. "Hey look, here is a guy who doesn't want to play here and is loaded with off the field issues. Let's throw so much money at him he can't possibly say no." Not a wise decision. But now that the investment has been made, I think I would have no choice but to ride it out. What is the alternative? It is not like we are stacked behind him. Winston? DTR? They aren't the answer either. Call on a guy like Tannehill? That would be a better option than what is in the bullpen, IMO. I keep telling myself, it is one game. But it was so embarrassingly bad that it almost feels like the season is shot. But, as I said, given the current state of affairs, I think we got to ride him out for a while and hopefully he stays healthy and we find some rhythm. Whether we pull the plug or not, this acquisition is going to sting for a long time.This didn't take long.,

To @MAC_32 's point above, there really isn't a way out of this so we're stuck with Watson on the roster for at least two more years. Whether he plays or not is a different story but given the cap constraints associated with Watson, who are going to bring in? You're not. So we have to make the best of this. I don't get the impression that Watson is going to Dwayne Bowe this thing but there isn't a lot we could do about it if he did.
This is Watson's eighth year. There are no more excuses for "wasn't ready". Cleveland can bench him and make it the
