Cleveland Browns co-owner Jimmy Haslam has openly criticized the team's decision to acquire Deshaun Watson, labeling it a significant mistake. The Browns traded multiple first-round picks and awarded Watson a record $230 million guaranteed contract despite numerous sexual assault allegations against him. Although the team had high hopes for Watson, his performance has been disappointing, struggling with injuries and suspensions, leading to only one playoff appearance since his signing. Looking ahead, speculation grows about the future of Watson and the Browns' plans, including possibly selecting a new quarterback.
We took a big swing-and-miss with Deshaun, Haslam said at the league's annual meeting. We thought we had the quarterback; we didn't.
The chances of Watson turning around his Browns career appear to be slim. He is expected to miss a significant part of the 2025 season after tearing and then re-tearing his achilles.
