Considering that they signed him to this deal when he was in the middle of his massage ordeal, I doubt it. It’s just part of the sunk costs of TNB.
That’s exactly right. They knew all this and signed him anyway.

This deal is so exceptionally bad factoring in Watson has nearly zero marketability due to his proclivities. Then there’s the divisiveness of the contract with teammates. “They paid this scumbag, what? And he’s not even good”.

Honestly, the Browns needed Watson to play like Tom Brady 2.0 otherwise this was always a doomed deal. Now you can’t make a dime off this guy nor have a winning team. Plenty of schadenfreude to enjoy here.
