Analysis
The Browns organization signaled its craven hunger for wins by orchestrating a record-setting deal to obtain legally-embattled QB Deshaun Watson from the Texans. Watson is under fire for dozens upon dozens of sexual abuse complaints. A deal that moves him into a starting role on another team, after the Texans had benched him, is an embarrassment for everyone. And who knows if it will even pay off in the W column? An NFL-imposed penalty could cost the QB at least half the season. Once he gets back, Watson will find a competent offense at his disposal and a competent defense. The Browns will contend, but do you really want to sit through 4-hour telecasts of NFL commentators doing verbal acrobatics to avoid not talking about rape?
