Big mistake by the Browns. Patience should be their operating mode. No trade yet, unless they have a definitive answer on DW.
BM will never play another down with the browns. BTW, aren’t you glad the redskins didn’t make this mistake you were pushing so hard for?

You're probably right about Mayfield and NO, I still am convinced that they should have traded for DW.

Even if he is suspended for the year, I would rather have the promise of seasons to come with him and TH filling in while he is out, than having Wince and an almost zero chance at SBs

many things to take from this

many high profile people chose to" pay off " gold diggers to get the ordeal over with
many pay people off because they are in fact guilty

i am not a celebrity but much like the grief michael jackson took i cant see myself having a label stuck on me as a sex offender especially if its false

now if its true i cant see a team wanting that on a team

paying off might be the easy , less stressful thing to do , and i wont say its wrong at all

i will say that forever more there will be those who absolutely believe you are guilty (even if you arent ) and i cant as an individual live with that . i hope watson can if he is innocent

sometimes you have to choose the hard right over the easy wrong

People are going to do the things that they do, but I'm not living for their approval and neither should anyone else. We talked about this during our discussion over trading for him and that "toot" that you're hearing is me tooting my own, "I told you so" horn. In a short time, the remaining 4 will be resolved and if there's going to be any suspension, Cleveland will have a top 2 QB. The reality is there will be 32 NFL cities where public perception will remain bad, the business of football is to win games, make playoffs and win SBs. It is a fact of life in the United States, that two things can be true at the same time. Let's go, Carson!! (a play on Brandon)

Sorry but if there was any evidence charges would of been filed but 2 grand jury's said there wasn't enough to go with
That is true and it’s been said you can indict a ham sandwich

No matter what it was really about, word is that the NFL is looking to suspend him anywhere from 8 games to a whole season.

So you would trade wins like the Browns, to employee a sexual predator like Watson who continues to have "other" women come out of the woodwork to tell their stories?
C'mon Sty, I want this team to win as bad as anyone else but not at the expense of going to get a bad guy because he is talented at his craft. No thanks! This is where the morals and integrity of an organization step in and simply say NO, and move on which we have. I cannot say I did not advocate at a point to bring in Watson, I can say I'm glad it wasn't us who finally employed him. Suspended this year or not, the Browns can embrace for a super long 2 seasons of nothing but distraction because of it. $230M guaranteed dollars for how many wins? We'll see over the course of these 2 seasons.

I want to be very careful responding to your post because what you've inadvertently done is outlined every reason on earth for trading him here. So let's take a look...

"Sexual predator" is subjective and because there have only been allegations and zero charges one must conclude that his actions were those of sexual "proclivity" and not predatory. It still surprises me how publicly backward the U.S. is in general when the subject is sex. I know that there remain 4 outstanding cases involving Mr. Watson, but since two separate grand juries haven't found cause to move against him, It's just a matter of time before they are settled as well. When/if other women come forward with similar accusations, they too will be seen as his desire and nothing more. Not one of us could pass a public look into our sexual lives without facing similar negative scrutiny.

"Bad guy?" really?? not so fast my friend, we've had much worse continue to play in the league, three that I can easily think of are Ray Lewis, Big Ben, and in another way Peyton Manning. (ruined the defensive part of the game)

It should have been Washington, that traded for his services. I still stand by that position and offer the following as reason(s) why.

This is what you've written:

"Suspended this year or not, the Browns can embrace for a super long 2 seasons of nothing but distraction because of it."

I counter with the Washington Commanders, who without him are in the midst of nothing but distraction after distraction, seemingly going on without an obvious end and apparently have no moral or probity standards as an organization. Adding one more seems in line with normality in DC and without additional weight to the dysfunction already typical of this organization. So, for all of the outrage and piety that some choose to selectively exhibit, we must admit that it is far better to point at others than it is for us to look at ourselves and the team that we all support. I don't know how old you are, or if you have a wealth of historical knowledge, but just in case, we've seen this all before. (Some of these guys went on to win SBs and or notable places in NFL lore.

With respect to wins, do you know what these numbers represent? 4, 6, 5, 10, 3, 4, 9, 8, 7, 7, 3, 7, 7.

Welp, since 2009, they represent the number of wins that this franchise managed to give us each year thereafter. A top 2 QB, even if he gets a first-year suspension, by his presence alone offers long-term stability at the position and a favorite status to make playoffs and win titles for as long as he's able to play.
