Deshaun Watson to Browns

That doesn't sound like a done deal, though. Just that he's willing to go there if the trade works out.

The teams that he spoke to had all agreed with the Texans on parameters for a trade prior.

It's hilarious how Watson thinks he's in charge.

"I will play for this team!"

Texans: "They're not paying up because they're the only market you've set up for yourself. We're not trading you for what they're offering."

"Then I just won't play!"

Texans: "Cool. Have fun holding out and dealing with the CBA rules, jackass."

Watson is all about the brown, apparently.

Hahahahahahaha no wonder. JFC Browns

From the Shits to the Browns. ROFL

John Dorsey would never let this happen

The Browns should be kicked out of the league. They're a laughingstock.

Fully guaranteed? ****ing Christ. $46 million guaranteed every year.

Jesus ****ing Christ can the AFC just stop getting better? The Browns are significantly better with Watson compared to shitty ass Baker

$46M per year fully guaranteed. Mahomes’ contract is a joke.

LMAO

Pat’s contract just gets better and better.

wow

That's a lot of massages.

LMAO Wait and see if he got language in that contract that the guarantees can't be voided when he's suspended.

They’ll be good for like a year or 2 at the most. That team will fall apart faster than they can win anything of significance.

This is good. That division with Watson, Burrow, and Jackson is pretty damn loaded. So I guess they are like the Big 10 of the NFL

Well, you were close...

That would be the most Browns thing ever.

Trades for Watson. Pays him a huge guaranteed contract.

Annnnnnnnd the NFL suspends him.

Deshaun ain't shit. Don't know how many times I have to tell you ****tards.

230 MILLION FULLY GUARANTEED my gawd

He's guaranteed to get suspended. There's already precedent. The only question is just how much?

3 first rounders and 2 additional picks.

What a surprise! Browns got desperate cuz he told them no and they went full reerun by giving him an insane contract that no one else would give him.

“Pack up your shit Baker.. You need to get out of the stadium… Leave your keys on the counter..”

So mayfield to the Texans?

They are saying on Sirius radio that Watson is recruiting Will Fuller and trying to work with the Browns to make it happen

They didn't want him. He's either going to Seattle or Indy.

Wonder if he can still play

So that Will Fuller can play in one game and sit out the rest?

Texans said they didn't want him as part of any trade

OUCH

They're probably hoping they can recoup some for that shit bag Baker

The AFC Championship is going to be this year's true Super Bowl.

If any team gives up anything more than a 3rd they should kill themselves.

man thats a dumb contract. This league is going to go bankrupt.

Imagine what the costs for tv rights will be soon

More like the AFC Championship is going to soften up the winner for the Bucs or Rams.

lol 230 million all guaranteed.. insane

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow
Watson
Tannehill
Herbert
Wilson

That’s a hell of a playoff gauntlet minus Tannehill. Bet they all get in this year

This contract is going to screw the rest of the league. Think Joe Burrow, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, and others are going to sign for less guaranteed money than Watson? Nope! It’s the Kirk Cousins guaranteed contract all over again, but at a much steeper level.

Why, that's Chris Ballards music!!!

Progressive has to be worried since Baker has to move out of his house.

It appears Watson is what passes for an "adult" in Cleveland

Guess it's not actually set 100% what the trade is yet
At least 3 first rounders.

Wonder if they include Kareem Hunt in the deal.

5 year $230m guaranteed. Just wow...

He makes the Browns better. But, yuck. That's really not a guy I'd want to root for.

What the ****!

AFC is going to be brutal compared to the pathetic NFC.

Watson decided to go where the women like getting groped and are drunk and loose.

Fully guaranteed means that he's getting that no matter what happens? Like he could get suspended and still get paid?

I know the Texans need a RB.

1. I think it depends on the type of suspension.
2. Depends on the wording in his contract.

The real kicker is they're almost guaranteed to not make the playoffs at least this year while Watson serves whatever suspension he gets.

That's an unexpected turn of events.

The Browns had to pay A LOT of money for their epic **** up 2 days ago about Baker. They were gonna go to camp with Baker holding out and no QB

$230 MM guaranteed AND dumping 3 first-round picks. God damn the Browns are ****ing idiots.

i.e. Watson only cares about money at this point.

If he had gone to the Saints it would have hurt the Saints a little (draft, players) but it would have killed the Falcons (draft, players and MONEY for Ryan).. Isn't the asking price like 3 years of 1st rounds and multiple later rounds picks and players?

Ironic thing about Watson going to Cleveland is the draft pick Houston used to get Watson, was from Cleveland.

This is the most lopsided trade since Dallas traded Herschel Walker, AND the worst contract I've ever heard of in the NFL. The Browns still won't win jack shit.

And then Cleveland used that pick to draft Jabrill Peppers.

****ing morons.

This league is going insane.

You don’t want to put the universe in a tube.

Dumb franchises, do dumb things.

OMG the Texans are in heaven... How in the **** is anyone that stupid?

I swear to Christ 50 years of “because Chiefs” has reerunned some of you permanently.

If the Chiefs didn’t have a QB like they did before Patrick Mahomes I would absolutely give that up to get a talented proven young QB.

You have zero chance without a QB

Now I wonder who will pull the trigger on Baker at an insane over reach?

I respect Watson's game and if the Browns keep Hunt and Chubb together they'll cause teams problems for sure. However we faced Watson with Hopkins, Fuller, Stills amd the run game was solid too. So it won't be nothing new really.

All this does is make the one seed more important and makes life way tougher for Burrow and Lamar which is nice.

Three of those QB's didn't make the playoffs last year (maybe the year before as well?).

fyp

What the **** has Deshaun Watson ever won though? What has he proven? He’s got the same number of playoff wins as Baker, so.

What's going to be funny is when Cleveland starts asking for a similar return to what they gave up for Watson. I'm sure they will want a multiple picks with at least one first

Already in discussion to be traded to the Colts.

****ing Ballard. ROFL

Wow! So, where does Baker go?

The Steelers would cause a social media explosion...

Seahawks... Panthers, Saints, Falcons... Giants?
