I know it’s not realistic, but play along. Given Atlanta’s odd behavior at QB and their previous interest in Watson, what would you have said if Atlanta offered #8 for Watson, but still required the Browns to pay 90% or more of Watson’s money. If the Browns took a QB at 8, they’d still be on a rookie deal by the time Watson’s money was off the books.
Obviously gigantic risk/reward here. If the QB you take doesn’t work, you likely lost your job and tanked the franchise for a few years because you’d have no money.
