Browns' Watson carted off with noncontact injury (www.espn.com)

CLEVELAND -- Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a noncontact right leg injury toward the end of the first half of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Watson's leg appeared to hyperextend as he tried to carry the ball on the first play after the two-minute warning. Watson immediately gave himself up and fell to the ground.

Shortly thereafter, a cart came onto the field and carried off the emotional Watson. The entire Browns sideline came onto the field as Watson was placed on the cart. Editor's Picks

The Browns made Jameis Winston inactive as the emergency third quarterback, so Dorian Thompson-Robinson entered the game to replace Watson.

Watson, in his third season in Cleveland, has struggled this season, posting the lowest QBR of all qualified passers. He was 15-of-17 for 128 yards Sunday before the injury.

I can maybe see a way to recovery, but it doesn't look pretty.

Go 1-16 this year to secure the number one pick, trade all our picks away to amass 2026-27 draft picks. Tank the 2025-26 season, secure the number one pick again, trade all our picks to amass even more 2026-27 picks. Tank the 2026-27 season to secure the number one pick for a third year in a row, force Haslam to sell the team, fire Berry and the rest of the scouting team, and hire a GM and scouts that can actually put all those picks to use. Draft a superstar surefire QB at one, and then fill the rest of the holes with the glut of picks amassed from the previous years. Trade picks for a superstar here and there if you can. Maybe, just maybe, after all that we go 8-9 (but like 6-2 in the division somehow, in classic AFCN fashion), and we sneak into a wildcard game.

We're still going to be paying Watson a shitload the rest of 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 because of the void year cap nonsense, so we're definitely fucked until then. But maybe, just maybe, in 2027-28 we're finally able to use our freed up cap space to sign some big names to supplement our young team, end up with a winning record, and maybe even a playoff run.

Are there unicorns in this fantasy land you've constructed?
