We are now 24 games into the 85 total regular season games spanning the 5-year life of Deshaun Watson's record-breaking $230M guaranteed contract. In addition to $230M guaranteed, the Browns depleted their future draft capital by giving up three 1st-round picks, one 3rd-round pick, and two 4th-round picks.

Watson hasn't played much due to the suspension that was expected, but also due to recent injuries. When he has played, his performance has been sub-par. The timeline below, summarizes his contribution at a high-level.

28% of the $230M contract has led to the following...

  • Watson has played in only nine full games out of the first 24 games of his contract. 9 of 13 post-suspension.
  • 28% of the $230M has led to the team winning only five games with Watson on the field.
  • In Watsons 10 total games, he delivered an above league average ANY/A only two times. Thats right...aside from the fact that he hasn't played much, 80% of the time he has played, his performance was below average.

$230 million guarantees AND all of those draft picks.

What the hell were the Browns smoking?!

This is going down as not just the worst trade in NFL history, but the worst trade in all of sports history.
