The Browns have just activated DeShaun Watson’s 21 day window.
That’s got to sting for the rookies if the team thinks so highly of them they try a washed up, injured rapist to provide some competition.

I’m almost starting to think that the Cleveland front office doesn’t run things all that well.
Clearly you aren’t paying attention to the quarter century of stability they’ve demonstrated at the three most important positions: Head Coach, GM, and QB.
They’ve only had 2 or 3 of each over that stretch, right?
Steal the slogan from UPS: “What can the Browns do for you?”
2 or 3 each season typically.
The Bears’ magical season faces its true test when we go to Green Bay. “Huge” isn’t a big enough of a word to describe this upcoming game.
They’re now on their what? 4th? 5th QB so far this season? Good to see they can still overachieve in something
Only three so far have played: Sanders, Flacco, and Gabriel; the move with Watson simply allows him to practice – they haven’t even elevated him to the active roster yet. OTOH, they traded Flacco to a divisional rival, so that has to count for something. ![]()
Kenny Pickett was on the roster but was traded to the Raiders before the start of the season.
They also have Bailey Zappe on the practice squad.
So, how many QBs does it take to make a functional Browns team? The world may never know
Only one, but they haven’t had that one since Bernie Kosar. ![]()
Just five short years ago, Baker Mayfield led them to an 11-5 record and a playoff victory.
However, that is their only playoff win in their (new) franchise history, which began in the 1999 season.
And Mayfield found success on other teams later, so that wasn’t a fluke. He’s a quality QB. They just couldn’t sustain it with him in Cleveland, because they have other problems obviously.
We see that issue with a number of franchises that fail with QBs that go on to success elsewhere. Both New York teams are good recent examples, with players like Daniel Jones and Geno Smith doing well on other teams.
Would have sworn you’d mention Sam Darnold as well, but, yes, QBs they’ve drafted finding better success elsewhere is certainly one of the marks of a poorly run franchise
Darnold is currently the starting QB of Seattle and I am not going to jinx that.

He started 59 regular season games for the Browns over a 4 year period. His record in those games was 29-30. His regular season record since then is 27-22, including the 7-5 mark this year.
So, yes, he’s been better since he left Cleveland. His best years have been the last 3 with Tampa Bay.
That certainly looked like a safety to me, let alone being clear and convincing evidence it wasn’t.
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who hasn’t played since early October due to a foot injury, won’t play again this season.
The Cardinals had placed him on IR in early November, with hopes that he could return for the final few games, but today, head coach Jonathan Gannon indicated that Murray’s rehabilitation has gone more slowly than hoped, and that the quarterback will finish the season on IR.
Translation: none of us want to risk the trade value!
Absolutely. Including Murray.
