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?

It hasn't worked out as intended for the Browns, but I would wait to see how good and how much Watson plays next year before making a final judgment.

At the time of the trade, Deshaun Watson was considered to be one of the best quarterbacks under 30 and outperformed Baker Mayfield every season he started.

I understand we're all going to clown on Watson because he's been underwhelming since becoming a Brown and is a piece of shit, but I feel like there are a lot of hindsight takes here.
