Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources. Watson has informed the Houston Texans that he now is willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract to be dealt to Cleveland.
Lots of teams kept hitting the “increase offer” button till everyone’s button broke but Cleveland’s.
I’d LOVE to hear a full rundown story from the Texans GM on what each team was offering and how the offer got as high as it did in both draft picks snd contract. [Reply]

THEN...he gets picked by the Chiefs and becomes the fucking Cheetah...meanwhile, Crystal is still Crystal, and he's probably just about had it with her. Then the broken arm happens (which was not at all anything to do with him) and they fight and she records this conversation which was heavily edited by the asshole media in KC and the rest of the country...then he's investigated by 2 females from the NFL and they didn't even suspend him...if people paid any attention to this case they would know that this guy did nothing wrong except try to make things work with his crazy ass baby mama.
Lastly...he got custody of his kids. That's the kicker. No way an abuser in the spotlight like him gets the kids. AND...Crystal is nowhere to be found...and on and on.
Cheetah's good. When he retires, it'll make an amazing 30 for 30 or even a documentary.

He realizes he must confess to something he did not do.
I really do believe that when Reek met with Goodell behind closed doors he told the "whole CONTEXT" of his relationship with Crystal from day 1 explaining her crazy borderline psychotic behavior with hard evidence from his college days and then providing more hard evidence when the child abuse accusation came into play.
Explaining to Goodell in 'full context' of how he falsely confessed to a crime he did not commit so that he could get a chance in the NFL and how now this supposed child abuse accusation is just "the same song 2nd verse with this crazy woman" and then providing "hard evidence" in both scenarios backing his statement.
Did anybody ever teach you proper use of quotation marks, or are you just retarded? [Reply]
All in all, I’m kinda surprised the Steelers didn’t end up being the team that traded for him. The need was there and they don’t care about sexual assault accusations. [Reply]

The Steelers never do stuff like that… ever, it’s why they’ve been so consistent for so long. [Reply]

The Watson trade and contract still doesn't feel right to me. Do we have any clarity on the 22 lawsuits against him? From what I've seen, by @bylindsayhjones + @JennyVrentas + @minakimes especially, the grand jury non-indictment doesn't mean much, and surely doesn't absolve him.
Big Ben set the precedent - a star QB gets one free sexual assault, and everything after that is 6 games that get reduced to 4 on a appeal.
So Deshawn can get the same deal - the first massage therapist doesn’t count, 4 games for each of the other 21.
It’d allow him to come back with 1 game before free agency to show he’s still got it, and the Browns would’ve spent a quarter billion dollars for nothing.
Can we all agree this is the WORST move ever in NFL history? I mean worst than Ditka for Ricky Williams? :-)! Deshaun Watson for:
first-round picks in 2022, 2023, and 2024 along with a 2023 third-rounder and a 2024 fourth-round selection
The Browns just pissed away the next 4 years for a player who did not play in 2021 and still has 22 civil court allegations against him PLUS whatever the NFL suspends him for! Actually, I love it! Prayers for Baker to go to the Colts or any other QB needy team. :-) [Reply]
