Lol. Browns got money balled all right.

but got absolutely slaughtered by the Deshaun Watson trade. He's killed them on the field when he played, he's killed their cap situation, and he's a PR nightmare.

Their move from downtown to Brook Park, which is the middle of nowhere next to the airport, isn't endearing the organization to local fans, either. Except for the people of Brook Park. Both of them.

Didn’t think Johnny Damon was worth 7.5 million dollars then gave Deshaun Watson 250 million….

Then their GM screwed them even worse when he restructured Watson's contract twice making it impossible to cut him last offseason and next. If the Browns cut Watson this offseason they take on $50 million dollars in dead money. They have to wait to 2027 when that number is only $6 million.

2015 NL champs working under the shitty Wilpon infrastructure Paul. Good luck with one of the hardest jobs in MLB.

they were just as bad of an organization in the decade prior as we are right now, possibly worse because they were a 1 win and 0 win team when he arrived, and in his time there they got the mayfield pick right, got stefanski right, and had two 11 win playoff seasons. He had inheritted hue jackson. he convinced the owner to hire dorsey too, who at the time was considered one of the best GMs in football.

at the time it happened, Watson was a move a lot of people here were envious of, he just completed crashed and set them way back. added a young pro bowl QB to a team that had gone 19-14 in it's prior 2 years combined with good D and OL/RB should have taken them forward not back.

Depodesta held the type of advisory role that is the type of position Mara should have. And if Stefanski shakes free and this is a sign their entire program is shifting directiosn, Stefanski should be very high on the Giants target list for next coach. He was a very good HC who got more out of less and did a good job hiring (bill callahan, jim schwartz, etc). From the area and son of former nets GM ed stefanski.
