Part 3/7:
In a surprising turn of events, Haslam recently acknowledged that the decision to acquire Watson was a "big swinging miss" for the Cleveland Browns. This candid admission drew attention to the internal dynamics of the team and stirred speculation about whether he was genuinely realizing the error in judgment or simply responding to external pressures and criticism.
By attributing the decision to the organization as a whole, Haslam attempted to diffuse responsibility. However, many observed that this placed undue blame elsewhere, particularly since it was understood that other key figures within the franchise did not support the decision. Such portrayals of shared blame raise questions about the authenticity of Haslam's admission.
