They went all in on a player, and it was the exact wrong player to do so. If you remember, even when the Texans were going to trade him, he was like, no, Cleveland's out. And then Cleveland's like, well, what if we gave you this? He's like, you're... You're going to give me all, okay, I'm in. I'll do that.
I don't know how the Browns recover within the next two, three years from this Deshaun Watson ordeal, but it's funny to hear him say that they had a swing and a miss on a quarterback who's still on the team. I mean, he's hurt and he's probably not going to play this year, but he's still there.

The crazy part about it is they did all this after that stuff came out. They knew what they were getting into. Yeah. When they traded for him, they were like, yeah, we know all about that. And they even sort of built things into his contract to be like, no, you're going to get past this. The year that he got suspended, his salary was $1 million.

So that when he lost that year of salary, he lost $1 million. Whereas the rest of it is all guaranteed. Yeah.

I got to tell you, though, it's nice to hear an owner take some ownership of some of his mistakes. We'll get into that in a little bit.

Deshaun Watson's playing contract runs through the 2026 season, but they're going to be paying him for at least three more years after that with void years.

I'm pretty sure that was a comment straight out of the what not to say about a player you're negotiating with. Yeah. That was like the absolute worst thing you could say. Like he should just be happy with what he's got. Be happy with the rate you got, basically, is what you're saying. The rate, like it's an interest rate.

It's flabbergasting to me how some organizations can run so... Yes, good word. By the way, in case you couldn't tell, I'm feeling a little sick today. I'm a little under the weather, so this is going to be my Jordan flu game. Yeah, this is... It's absolutely mind-boggling to me how some teams can run so smooth and efficiently.
