Jimmy Hasralam, co -owner of Cleveland, admitted, Brown “Take a big swing and Miss” with their 2022 trade for Rabat Qurtbbeck Deshaun Watson.
Hasralam made comments on Monday during a session with Braones correspondents in the league meetings in Florida.
“We thought we have Gardbbeck, we did not do, and we have given us a lot of draft choices to get it. So we have to get ourselves out of that hole,” Hasralam said. “Listen, I said this, I think it was several times, Deshaun Watson was an entire regulatory decision and ended with” HASLAM) and I, so we spent. “
Watson 29 -year -old played in just 19 games since Browns acquired it Houston Texas In 2022, he signed a five -year contract worth $ 230 million. Cleveland sent five choices to Texas, including three choices from the first round, to get the besieged corto.
Watson may miss the entire 2025 season after Achille’s right tendon torn for the second time in three months in January. He was originally injured during October 20, 2024, a loss for Centuti Benglis.
In 2022, Watson missed the first 11 games due to the league’s comment. He only achieved six games in 2023 before suffering from an injury at the end of the season and started seven last year before Achille’s tendon was injured.
Watson is 9-10 with Cleveland with 19 land touching, 12 objections and 80.7 classification.
Brown re -drafted Watson’s contract twice since December. It was added null years until 2030 to give them an additional financial flexibility to spread dead funds on the contract instead of achieving a huge blow in one season.
Cleveland has an insurance that protects the contract American Football Association If it is outside this season.
The Browns team enjoys the second selection in the upcoming US Football Association draft after going 3-14 in 2024. They hosted Sydeur Sanders in Colorado and Miami’s Cam Ward- the best chances of Gardenk-have the thirty-third total choice if they wait for the second round or want to move up up to get another selection in the first round.
Hasralam, though, does not say that Browns needs to take Corterbeck after Tennessee chose to open the draft.
“I think the message is if the right person is there, we will take it. If not, we will discover it for a year or two until we get the right person. There are good football players in this draft and we must make sure that we are getting the occasion for us.”
