Fans cheered. The Browns immediately scored their first TD of the game after he left. It's not every day you see an injury and that team's chances of winning improve dramatically.

That's hilarious. The Browns are bigly fucked for the next decade because of this chodes massive guaranteed contract. I feel for the fans, but fuck the Browns front office to infinity and back. This is karma fuckers.
I can maybe see a way to recovery, but it doesn't look pretty.
Go 1-16 this year to secure the number one pick, trade all our picks away to amass 2026-27 draft picks. Tank the 2025-26 season, secure the number one pick again, trade all our picks to amass even more 2026-27 picks. Tank the 2026-27 season to secure the number one pick for a third year in a row, force Haslam to sell the team, fire Berry and the rest of the scouting team, and hire a GM and scouts that can actually put all those picks to use. Draft a superstar surefire QB at one, and then fill the rest of the holes with the glut of picks amassed from the previous years. Trade picks for a superstar here and there if you can. Maybe, just maybe, after all that we go 8-9 (but like 6-2 in the division somehow, in classic AFCN fashion), and we sneak into a wildcard game.
We're still going to be paying Watson a shitload the rest of 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 because of the void year cap nonsense, so we're definitely fucked until then. But maybe, just maybe, in 2027-28 we're finally able to use our freed up cap space to sign some big names to supplement our young team, end up with a winning record, and maybe even a playoff run.
Are there unicorns in this fantasy land you've constructed?

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
I heard he's faking it for the massages during physical therapy.
Oh no! Browns might be getting better!
Sometimes bad things happen to bad people
I feel this
In a league full of raging assholes who’ve been coddled since elementary school for being good at football, thereby allowing them to avoid consequences at an absurd rate, this guy is probably the least sympathetic of them all.
I won’t say I’m happy to see him get injured, but I don’t have one iota of sympathy for him or for the Jerry Jones-level idiots in the Browns management who gave him such an absurd contract.
Aside from his victims, about the only people in this I feel sorry for are the Browns fanbase.
Hell I will
