He had huge red flags in terms of character, has been a compete bust and is making Jamarcus Russell’s deal look like a bargain.

Cleveland could have been a SB contender with a decent QB and instead they gave their fans this epic disaster.

If this isn’t the worst contract of all time, what signings are worse?

    Contract, no. I think Jamarcus Russel takes that since they created rookie caps after that.

    Worst trade. Definitely, 100%.

    I get that he is hated but to call him a bust is just not accurate. Hes 8-4 as a starter and has played just 12 games since coming back. He ended this season with 4 straight Ws. 5-1 this year. 14/9 TD/INT plus 2 rushing TD so 16/9 with Cleveland total. Yes hes had a good defense too and yes wins are an iffy stat to give QBs but if he was 0-6 this year, hed be getting crucified so lets be real.

    If this were anyone else, people would be saying “oh man just as he was getting back in rhythm he gets hurt, aw shucks”

    Not at all! It was and still is a great contract and deal made to trade for him, and whoever is making these decisions for the Browns should be given a permanent spot :)

    I have full confidence that this Brown’s FO has at least one more historically-unprecedented bad deal in them. I believe in them!

    This cuts so many ways because I think it ruins the potential for another player to make a similar request going forward. A cautionary tale, if you will.

    Too early to tell imo. He’s obviously not his old self, but he’s been teetering on the good/bad. Could still come out with upside.

    Injuries happen. I think while it’s gone bad right now, it’s being blown out of proportion due to his off field shit.

    I will always think less of my Falcons for even considering bringing him to Atlanta. I would rather lose than win with a loser.
