Yahoo Sports NFL on Deshaun Watson
From the article
Now in his fifth and final year of a gigantic, $250-million contract with the Cleveland Browns, Watson's star has only continued to fade under Ohio skies and has often become the face of this woebegone era of the franchise. He reportedly barely won the starting job over second-year QB Shedeur Sanders despite being a highly paid veteran, and his open detest of the team's supporters has practically earned him the honor of being a pariah in his own stadium.
STACKED’s take
Watson's final year in Cleveland offers little hope for redemption after years of decline.
Watson is in his fifth and final year of a $250-million contract with Cleveland and has become synonymous with the term 'bust' in the NFL. The source expresses severe doubt about his ability to turn it around, noting he has 'continuously sink[n] further below the bar of what is deemed acceptable of a NFL quarterback' and has become a pariah in his own stadium due to open detest of the team's supporters. Despite being a highly paid veteran, he barely won the starting job over second-year QB Shedeur Sanders. The source states 'This year will be his last chance to turn it all around and prove to everyone that he can still be a competent NFL professional, but I sincerely doubt it.'
