dEshaun Watson is a playmaker with the ability to hand the ball over to his offensive teammates with unusually accurate long passes. That skill is worth a lot in the richest league in the world. When the Cleveland Browns brought Watson to Lake Erie in the spring as part of a player trade typical of American team sports, they gave him a five-year contract worth a total of 230 million euros. And his old team, the Houston Texans, five draft spots from next years allotment.
When Watson was supposed to show what she can do at her new job for the first time last Sunday, it didn’t look like she was worth the money. Many of his passes lacked precision, some didn’t land at all. The only positive thing the Browns could take from the game against Watson’s old team was that they still won and therefore had at least a theoretical chance of making the playoffs. Especially if this Sunday (19.00 CET at DAZN) should also win the match against the Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State’s old regional rivals.
