The absolute best thing that could happen to the Browns right now would be for Watson to have another offseason injury that puts him on the 2026 Injured Reserve. His $80 million Cap Hit then comes off the books and we're free and clear of him next year.
Alternatively, his $46 million salary could get converted to a signing bonus and we extend him a year if the plan is to play him this season (which would be hilariously tragic). Sadly, this is what I suspect will happen and he will be an anchor around our neck for another two to three years. That would be second best. The best would be that Watson somehow comes back looking like the player we thought we got when we made the trade. I doubt that happens and if so, there would be fan backlash, but that would last maybe 2 weeks if he comes out looking great.

I don’t understand how we continuously make these mistakes and look bad. Doesn’t anyone think things out? We did. As soon as the decision to hire Monk for his O mind, they knew the odds of keeping Schwartz were pretty slim.

Who's plan on June 1st?
I have not heard of a plan to cut DW June 1st. His dead cap becomes more manageable if they designate him a June 1st cut after the 2026 year ends...so June 1, 2027 he's gone.. If he's not on IR, he's on the 53 for the 2026 season.

I will never want a sexual predator as the face of the Browns. Never. Some of us have a line in the sand when it comes to "winning at all costs" and some of us don't.

My disdain for Haslam knows mo bounds While your disdain is generally well-earned, I'm not sure this is the best example. Schwartz is throwing a temper-tantrum, when you get down to it. As someone who was pulling for Schwartz to get the promotion based on the impression that he had grown and tempered his approach from the Detroit days, I gotta say that if this is how you handle disappointment then the Browns top job probably isn't for you.

It does not make sense financially for June 1st 2026.
He will most likely be on the team for this year.

I'm not so sure I would call someone refusing to be forced into a marriage as temper tantrum. I'm not sure if disappointment means the same thing as the Browns hiring a HC he doesn't want to work with. Let's face it, it's not like Schwartz will have trouble finding another job. And unless I'm mistaken all another team would have to do is add the title of "assistant HC" to the DC title and it would be considered a promotion which the Browns couldn't stop.
