So in short you’re telling me we are still 3-12 with no hope for the future? Got it. Thanks

[@robertleath9913]

Nobody good to draft this year. Trade a team your first round this year for theirs next year. Next year you have two picks. You trade the first team picking next year one of your firsts and a second for their #1 pick. Then you take Arch Manning and still have a second first round pick and take a Running back. Then you have a new QB and a new RB next year, both first round picks.

[@JermileKirkpatrick]

That sounds like a good plan

[@doitformyfamily7548]

Sounds solid too me

[@kenmauge8032]

Good thinking

[@rjm7166]

I agree that this is a very weak draft, but why would any other team want to trade up to the Browns spot? Wouldn’t they be thinking the same thing?

[@pebblehunter1567]

It's that simple in madden terms yeah. A lot can happen in a year. Arch manning could not be the player everyone thought he was. We don't even know if the browns will be in a spot that a desperate enough team wants to trade up for that player. I understand where your coming from thinking the draft class is bad and all, but we've had bad draft classes become some of the best and good draft classes become some of the worst. There's just no telling right now. But what the browns need right now is a difference maker, the only difference maker they've had all year is Jerry juedy and his 2nd half of the year. Although it is commonly looked down upon to take a running back top 5, I wouldn't hesitate to take Ashton Jeonty. We've come to learn that running backs do matter this year and they can be immediate difference makers. That's my take at least.

[@luke_vibez3124]

I’ve been waiting for a new video actually omg

[@BrownsReport]

Sorry!!

[@brianherrera1390]

Salary Cap goes up but so do player salaries. So.....

[@robertleath9913]

Also sign the best kicker in the USFL or the CFL. They have produced good kickers in the past. Our kickers suck because we keep taking peoples rejects and you dont want to draft another kicker.

[@KenSeguin-ur9zb]

Excellent explanation. 🙏

[@BrownsReport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rickycline3636]

That’s great hopefully they can push some of this massive contract back a few years. This franchise is going f around and let Vrabel walk and not offer him the HC job?? If we possibly get top 3 pick take best overall player on the board or trade back a few spots and build draft capital

[@brentpayne4215]

Hi Matthew

[@DylanSutcliffe-w1m]

I think this is a sneaky good move because even if Deshaun doesn’t come back after next year we could still get a good QB in the 2026 draft

[@ChrisZanotti-r2s]

Best available each round Qb 2026 There going nowhere for 5 years Will Berry be here - stefanski ? What a mess

[@PolarBear9733]

If Winston was lightning it up, he would not have been benched. I agree it’s HIGHLY unlikely they bring him back.

[@rickycline3636]

Anybody that shows up Watson it’s guaranteed we’re gonna let them go so we’re not pressuring Watson lol sad world

[@coganblaster]

Worst trade in team history. When is someone going to be held accountable for this train wreck?

[@Buddy-2251]

Too bad they couldn’t stretch the payments over the next twenty years.

[@tdbone35]

Matt dont do that ....most fans know what a contract restructure is....also DW IS doing the Browns a favor by allowing that contract to be restructured for a more lengthy period. He understands where he may be in the next couple of years and its called financial stability. This is like other contracts out there. The Browns rill be paying him long after he's gone

[@BrownsReport]

You would be surprised how the comments on restructure videos indicate otherwise

[@randyschlupp4405]

I hope this is the last contract negotiation for the predator

[@domorealtoreality]

And with that mindset this why the browns continues to have qb problems.

[@sportsgrunt7000]

I’ve seen enough of Robinson. He go as well as the other 2. 1 st round how about a left guard or tackle. If the QB’s on not worthy of being picked that high.

[@dudeminny6167]

Draft order. 1 best available no QB. 2nd Best LB. 3rd best QB (Jaxson Dart) Ole miss. 4th best RB.

[@nhennessy6434]

Does any of this change how the actual cash money is paid Watson? Or is this just some sort of accounting device enabling them to amortize the actual cash expenditures of 2022-26? And if Watson has agreed to defer monetary pay-outs, what in it for him?

[@brentpayne4215]

Let's go buckeye s

[@brandonfisher1627]

Build around him get some offensive lineman

[@billchessman2762]

Yeah build a concrete box around him, so he never sees the field ever again for he Browns.

[@joechlystun7979]

hellllllll nahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[@user-gb3xo5of4m]

😂😂 no thanks clown

[@brandonfisher1627]

@ like it or not he’s in Cleveland for a while

[@user-gb3xo5of4m]

@brandonfisher1627 doesn't mean we have to play him. He's trash. No thank you.

[@JermileKirkpatrick]

Browns will be tanking for two years because they want that dome stadium in broke park thay don’t care about the city of Cleveland or what happens in Cleveland thay should just sell the team if it were up to me

[@pyrogundam117]

Hopefully doing this that maybe in a year (unless the Browns do it again) Watson will be tired of this and buy out his contract and retire from the NFL since no way in hell a team will sign him after this, even as a 3rd stringer.

[@eddiegerlach7121]

Since his monies are guaranteed anyway, why can't they stretch it out over a longer period of time...like instead of over the next 2 yrs, maybe stretch it to 5 us? Frees up capital, reduces deadcap hit, etc? 🤔

[@BrownsReport]

DM Petey your bold takes after you follow him on Twitter/X: twitter.com/MatthewPetey

[@loralynneholman298]

Are the Brown's contractually bound to at least give Watson the opportunity to play???🤔

[@James-e3m4x]

The comments from some people don’t make sense they don’t seem to get it .Watson is not going to just quit and leave all this money on the table are you crazy unless the owner does something like pay him off under the table which might not be legal at least in the NFL then we wouldn’t take a hit on the players cap and the other teams would probably file charges against the Browns.Berry made a horrible mistake in bringing Watson in there’s no good solution to this problem.

[@brentpayne4215]

How are you

[@aaronfry4050]

Guys its over, the money aside, Watson doesnt deserve to start. Hes not good enough. You cant build around him. Flacco and Winston were so much better than he is passing the ball in this offense even though they were turnover machines. Watson cannot see the field anymore. DTR isnt the solution. Imo i dont think they can keep many of their top players moving forward if they dont move on from Watson.

[@robertleath9913]

By the way, get your butt back to work Matt. Christmas is over.

[@BrownsReport]

I'm back!!

[@jordantabat4143]

We might have a rich owner but he is like the Biden administration throwing money on pointless endeavors. Just my opinion. GO browns

[@blue_angel22]

Bull!! I can’t believe this!! He’s not a good player, he sucks actually!! This is the worst thing they could do!! This was Haslam’s problem, not the team!! Haslam should pay him off and cut him!!

[@BobBob-zg5lz]

Bruh this is how they open up more cap space for the future instead of his contract taking up 20% of what the Browns can use for the whole team

[@emmettecraft]

All words to me …… I just want Watson gone!

[@alexandresylvain2186]

this shouldn't exist

[@clevelandfontanille5000]

Stop dealing with this bum and cut ties with him take your lost

[@randyschlupp4405]

Too bad the NFL doesn't go bankrupt for insane salaries payed to players who aren't worth paying like Twatson wished the NFL went bankrupt and had no choice but to reset the market

[@Ron-m7j]

I do not see the browns winning anything. Upto now Watson have been AWFUL, not a starting quarterback in the NFL. I can understand Myles Garrett being piss off, and probably ask to be traded, because the team really sucks. The owner should sell, he is a loser.

[@ToddSlezak]

Sugar coated crap. 72.9mm hit 2025, good luck fielding a Junior high team

[@BendiTh3Grey]

Build around him

[@kolgankhanh2003]

You can have crappy Deshaun but the rest of the team want out of the Browns.

[@BendiTh3Grey]

@kolgankhanh2003 really you know that for a fact 😂😂😂 some fans are hilarious

[@tymanthebuckeye719]

First

[@bigman0019221]

Good lord well let's go browns let's get that guy out of town. I think Kirk cousins will be a brown next year. I will take him for a year while we develop a 3rd or 4th round QB
