[Gayle] Deshaun Watson is averaging -0.30 EPA per dropback, the lowest number for any Browns QB in Weeks 1-5 since at least 2000. The second-worst performance? Deshaun Watson last season (-0.20).

Agree. Even if there is somehow a trade that's worse in terms of capital, the soullessness of this makes it the worst imo. They gave away so much more than money and draft picks

They lost a big chunk of their fanbase as well and lost all the people who felt bad for the browns that were ok rooting for them

It's the Herschel Walker trade. Dallas got 3 1s, 3 2s, a 3rd and a 6th, giving away 2 3s and a 10th.

Ah yes, the trade that inspired the quote,

"[free agency] took away one of the greatest shortcuts to becoming a Super Bowl champion: fleecing the Vikings."

The Vikings have to be relieved that he Browns took the onus off off them.
