Will Deshaun Watson’s contract go down as the worst NFL contract of all time? (alien.top)

He had huge red flags in terms of character, has been a compete bust and is making Jamarcus Russell’s deal look like a bargain.

Cleveland could have been a SB contender with a decent QB and instead they gave their fans this epic disaster.

If this isn’t the worst contract of all time, what signings are worse?

Easily. The Browns went all in thinking this was their move to get them to the SB and there's still time but the early returns aren't looking good. Generally speaking, Watson is better than Mayfield, but I do wonder how Mayfield would be doing with Cooper and Moore to throw to and this defense. Mayfield was throwing to Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Mayfield is certainly not perfect but he has a 93.7 QB rating this year and only one more INT than Watson in 3 more games played.
