The situation around Deshaun Watson has already been complicated enough, but the latest comments from the Cleveland Browns added something that not many fans were expecting or hoping for. While it seemed very likely that the Browns would move on from Watson at some point, it doesn't sound like that's a guarantee.
Andrew Berry had the latest on what's going on in Cleveland.
“We’re probably just more focused on performance and best players,” Berry told reporters, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “Certainly time horizon factors into that, but just with any veteran player, there’s no rule against extending the player’s contract if they perform and they do well. So I wouldn’t necessarily box it into any one approach. It really will be performance-based."
Cabot later added that if he plays well, the Browns could bring him back.
"If Watson wins the quarterback battle and plays well, the Browns could always bring him back for more,” Cabot wrote. “In fact, when Berry first traded three first-round picks and more in 2022 for Watson, he said he hoped it would be a 10-year proposition and not just the original five.”
I guess if Watson comes out and shows anything of what he was expected to be with the Browns and what he once looked like with the Houston Texans, keeping him around would make sense.
However, I think that at this point, many Browns fans just want to be done with this situation and hope it's over as soon as possible.
