Name an NFL trade that's worse than Deshaun Watson [View all]

The Browns' gave up first-round draft picks to Houston in 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as a third-round pick in 2023 and fourth-round picks in 2022 and 2024. Watson was then given a fully guaranteed, five-year, $230 million deal.

He was suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 regular season as a result of his sexual harassment allegations.

Since 2022 Watson has played in 18 games, thrown 19 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and has an average QB rating of .80.

The team does not have those six draft picks playing for them. Or in reserve.

Additionally, that contract hamstrings the team from acquiring free agents and/or resigning them.

Name an NFL trade worse than this one.
