The time of Deshaun Watson with the Browns of Cleveland was “a great swing and miss” and left the organization in a “hole” according to a scathing magazine by the owner of the Jimmy Haslam team.
The Browns exchanged against Watson of the Texans of Houston in March 2022, sending three first round choices through 2022-2024, a third round in 2023 and choices of the fourth round of 2022 and 2024 for the quarter.
In addition, the Browns signed Watson to an entirely guaranteed agreement of $ 230 million, at a time when he faced 22 women who accused him of sexual misconduct. He settled down with a lot, but was suspended by the NFL for the first 11 games of the 2022 season and sentenced to a fine of $ 5 million for violating the personal driving policy of the League.
“We took a big swing and miss with Deshaun. We thought we had the quarter-Arrière, we did not do it and we abandoned a lot of recovery choice to obtain it, “said Haslam.
“So we have to get out of this hole. (Trade) was an entire organizational decision and it ends with Dee and I, so keep us responsible.
Things have not been much better since its suspension disrupted its 2022 campaign.

Watson has been a disaster since the Browns signed it for a fully guaranteed agreement of $ 230 million
Watson’s 2023 season was finished with a shoulder injury and in 2024, he tore his Achilles in the middle of the countryside.
To worsen things, Watson has turned the same Achilles earlier this year and will at least miss part of the 2025 season. Overall, Watson has not played in just 19 games since the Browns acquired it.
The Browns have the second choice of the NFL 2025 draft and many think they will make a quarter of a quarter, despite the trade for Kenny Pickett of the Philadelphia.
The Browns recently welcomed Shedeur Sanders from Colorado and Cam Ward of Miami, which many expect to be taken first by the Titans of Tennessee.
Earlier in March, Watson announced that he was engaged to his girlfriend Jilly Anais.
Watson and Anais have been going out together since 2019, after the first meeting in Los Angeles. They are both 29 years old. Anais – which has nearly 2.5 million followers on social networks – is a singer, actress and author of cooking books.
The couple stayed together in the midst of accusations in 2021 and 22 by more than two dozen women who sexually assaulted them and harassed them during the massage therapy sessions in Houston.
Two large juries refused to indicate it and he set civil proceedings in all cases except one.
Good news for Browns This offseason, however, came in the form of the defensive winger star Myles Garrett by accepting an extension of browns of 40 mm of $ 40 $ 40.
He came after Garrett appeared to force his way out of the organization after the recent difficulties.
Haslam was also asked about how he managed to keep his star man and said: “ Listen, Myles was frustrated last year, but hell too. We are all frustrated, okay?
“And I’m glad he cares enough to be frustrated. We look forward to it to be with us for a long time.
