With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it’s a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:

  • 11 full games at QB
  • 7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
  • 3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)

      I’m really enjoying thinking back about all the gloating Browns fans on that twitter thread after he had one good half.

        It makes me immensely happy that his cap hit was back loaded, so it’s massive over the next 3 seasons, making surrounding him with talent very difficult. It makes me sad that he gets all that money, but at least the Browns are reaping what they sowed. I do feel bad for the Browns fans that were anti-Watson from the start, which does seem to be like a pretty sizeable group on reddit at least.
