Deshaun Watson applauded the owner of his team, Jimmy Haslam, more than a week after the boss of Cleveland Browns called him a `swing and a miss ” for the franchise.
Watson retorted Instagram with a video where he does not call Haslam by name. He mentions that people have doubted him and he knows that he can be better than ever.
Watson’s video takes place as it trains in what seems to be the Browns gymnasium.
Watson is shirtless for a large part of the video because it can still be seen with a walking boot on its right leg, while making an intense weightlifting on its upper half.
“Greatness comes when your back is against the wall. It’s a little better because you really have to locate yourself, ” said Watson. “You have nothing to lose, and I have the impression that this is where I’m right now. Everyone doubts me.
“Not everyone believes in me. Not everyone thinks I can come back where I was. But I know, and I believe the work I put, that I believe in me. The peace that I have channeled in the past two months. I know, I will be much better than before.
Watson applauded the owner of his team, Haslam, after being called “ swing and a miss ”
Haslam signed Watson to a fully guaranteed contract of $ 230 million that has not paid
The guaranteed contract of $ 230 million in Watson has not paid dividends for the Browns, which have not won a eliminatory match since it arrived in Cleveland.
The Browns seem ready to leave Watson as a quarter-Arrière leaving, because they have the n ° 2 selection in the draft of the NFL and are linked to the first two appellants of the painting, of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders.
Watson, 29, was considered a future league star several years ago with the Texans of Houston, his career being detailed after being accused of sexual misconduct of more than two dozen women.
These claims of the accusers led Watson to be suspended for 11 games during the 2022 NFL season.
While the Browns hope for a clean break from Watson as a team starter, he is still under contract throughout the 2026 season with the franchise.
