NGT: Is Cleveland playing Watson for insurance?

is so damaged that he can't throw anymore

Watching this guy is painful. Even DJ would be an upgrade. The Browns should have made a switch a few weeks ago. I just can't understand it. Guess the owners have so much invested in money and ego that they may be forcing the coaching staff to play Watson. Stefanski is in an unfair, bad spot and is sure to get canned if this continues. Fan enthusiasm is waning -- my loud neighbors would normally have a "game watch" BBQ on Sundays (I live in Ohio, west of Cleveland) ---notably absent and thankfully quiet for the last 3 weeks. Giants' win here was gratifying. LOL.

and the original contract even worse, but to double-down and restructure him? Simply insane. They had 2 years of evidence that he just isn’t the same guy he was in Houston, but did it anyway. I understand a GM fighting to keep his job making such a desperate move, but how the hell does an owner sign off on that?

They made a deal with the devil and he’s coming for his pound of flesh. That org deserves everything they get.

I live on the East Side of Cleveland. My family here is all Browns fans. I texted my cousin that no, they can't have DJ, who's better than Watson and cheaper. And Watson might be the only QB in the league I could say that about.

He looked better in the 2nd half against the Eagles but he's a shadow of what he was.

they are playing Watson to lose so they can be in position to draft a new QB without having to give up a bunch of picks to move up.
