Injury
The Browns owner's past criticism of the QB deal adds context to the team's offseason decisions.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam called the team's signing of Deshaun Watson "a big swing and miss" 15 months ago, per reporting on his recent comments. Watson, 30, has appeared in seven games since joining Cleveland, posting a 1,148-yard, 5-3 TD-INT line with a 79.0 rating.
Haslam's characterization came after Watson's first season with the Browns ended early due to injury. The comment reflects the gap between the franchise's investment in the quarterback and the early returns on the field.
