Terry Pluto: 'I wonder if [the Browns] are still 'comfortable' with their decision to deal for Watson. But I don’t wonder about this: I feel terrible for the Browns fan base that has to endure this unsavory story hanging over its favorite team.'
GM Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski looked like they wanted to crawl under the table at times when answering some of the questions. It’s a huge, risky deal and so is the massive contract that brought Watson from Houston to Cleveland.
On a separate Zoom press conference, owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam kept insisting they were “comfortable” bringing in Watson. At that point, Watson didn’t just have baggage; he also needed a legal moving van to handle all the paperwork from the 22 civil suits against him. The Browns also had to know at least some type of suspension was likely coming from the NFL.I wonder how thorough were their background checks. I wonder if they are still “comfortable” with their decision to deal for Watson.
But I don’t wonder about this: I feel terrible for the Browns fan base that has to endure this unsavory story hanging over its favorite team.Before the deal was made, I wrote two columns begging the Browns not to become involved with Watson because of the moral issues involved and all the unknown legal consequences. They seemed to ignore the fact Houston paid Watsonin 2021 because of the pending litigation he faced over his conduct with multiple massage therapists.
