[KC Hawks]

Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources. Watson has informed the Houston Texans that he now is willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract to be dealt to Cleveland.

They also cheated the cap by delaying his larger cap hits to future seasons. I don’t see how they can wiggle out of paying the piper for this sequence:

2022 - $46M of cash, only $9M cap hit
2023 - $46M of cash, only $19M cap hit
2024 - $46M of cash, only $28M cap hit

So $138M of cash and only $56M of combined cap hits across the last 3 years. Looks like they owe $82 million to the salary cap gods.

Now as for the Browns fans, most of them were fine with Watson till he sucked at QB, so they can eat shit too.

Karma is a bitch!
