I don't think Watson plays this season and after 2 years off, who's to say he comes back as the same player he once was?

Meanwhile, Chubb sand Hunt are thrown into the meat grinder all season long because they have no other options.  That's kinda the silver lining in all of this for the rest of the AFC North.

It is actually three years off if he doesn't play at all this season (until next season starts).  That is such a massive risk for the Browns, but they felt like they had everything but the QB and made their move.   Not a good one.

I think you raise an interesting point on the cost of leaning on Chubb and Hunt.  Not only will teams be keying on their rush attack, but they have seen the blocking schemes and we still don't know if they will be re-signing Tretter.
