Here’s a summary of the complete trade

2022 1st rd pick (became G Kenyon Green)
2022 4th rd pick (RB Dameon Pierce)

2023 3rd rd pick (became WR Tank Dell)

- 2025 Minnesota 2nd(via trade), used to get Stephon Diggs
2024 4th rd pick (became S Caden Bullock)
.
Browns receive:
QB Deshaun Watson
2024 6th round pick (included in Jerry Jeudy trade)
.
Abysmal, outside of assets:
Not only was this trade terrible in assets, the browns are now stuck paying Watson 50 million dollars a year, guaranteed, for the next 3 years. Regardless of whether they cut him or not. There’s nothing they can do about it.
Not even including the… ‘controversies’.
To add salt to the wound, Baker Mayfield has had an incredible resurgence on the buccaneers. Ultimately it would’ve been better if they just got Baker help, and stuck to their guns.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslem is ultimately responsible for this cataclysmic failure of a trade, and it’s set Cleveland back a decade. Their window closed shut the moment the trade went through 3 years ago.
