Part 2/8:
One of the standout moments came from Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who made a surprising admission about quarterback Deshaun Watson, calling his trade “a big swing and a miss.” This candidness is unusual for owners, who typically maintain silence on controversial issues. Haslam’s comments imply a stark recognition of the disastrous ramifications stemming from Watson's performance and associated controversies.
Middlekauff expressed a strong opinion that Watson’s tenure with the Browns is likely over, given Haslam's remarks, his injury woes, and an overarching decline in performance. The general sentiment haunting Watson is that with limited on-field capabilities and a slew of off-field controversies, his prospects of staying in the NFL might have vanished.
