Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson appeared to respond to comments made by team co-owner Jimmy Haslam, who reportedly described signing Watson as a "big swing and miss." The comment, which surfaced recently, quickly spread throughout sports media and among Browns fans. Watson's response came in the form of a cryptic message posted on social media, although the exact nature of the message and where it appeared were not specified.
The implication is that Watson is aware of Haslam's assessment of his performance since joining the Browns. The team traded for Watson in 2022 and signed him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract. However, his time with the Browns has been marked by controversy and inconsistent play. He has struggled to regain the form he displayed earlier in his career with the Houston Texans.
While Watson's message did not explicitly mention Haslam or the Browns, many observers interpreted it as a direct reaction to the owner's remarks. The situation adds another layer of intrigue to Watson's future with the team as he continues to work towards improving his performance and leading the Browns to success. The Browns have not commented publicly on either Haslam's alleged statement or Watson's response.
