“The DeShaun Watson trade doesn’t feel right to me,” Mitchell Schwartz blasts Cleveland Browns for trading troubled QB
Follow Us
The Cleveland Browns have roped in highly controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson ahead of the new 2022 season, as part of their major roster overhaul. This move came in despite Watson being troubled with several sexual harassment charges from his massage therapists.
Although he found relief from the sexual harassment charges a few days back, when the grand jury rejected all nine cases, there have been claims from around the NFL circuit, who have protested the browns’ decision to trade him. Among the people who have not sided with Deshaun Watson being completely innocent is former Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIV winner, Mitchell Schwartz.
Mitchell Schwartz wants Deshaun Watson to get suspended for his off-field actions
The 32-year old is currently a free agent in the NFL market, but he simply couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that the Browns decided to acquire the services of Watson as their primary quarterback. Mitchell Schwartz, took to his official Twitter account to vent out his frustration and made it clear that he wasn’t sure of the trade through a series of Tweets.
Mitchell Schwartz mainly argued that there was no clarity on the 22 impending cases against Watson. He also argued that the base salary of $1m, looked shady as he did not play well last year, but received handsome payments for the same.
Taking his frustration further on Deshaun Watson, Schwartz hoped that the quarterback receives a suspension from the NFL in the near future for his actions off the field.
“My hope is that if the NFL suspends him, the team is able to void the contract. In the NFL it seems like unless there’s video evidence, the league doesn’t react very strongly. It’s like we don’t trust something happened unless we see it, and that’s how the NFL bases punishment,” wrote Schwartz on his Twitter account.
“We’ll see on that, the NFL clearly been slow playing it. They might determine this is all true and suspend him for a year or who knows how long. The 22 lawsuits Watson faces aren’t gone. He’s not absolved. But teams/fans/whoever are treating him as innocent. It just seems wrong.”
“And @PFF_Brad just showed me an article saying the team structured the deal to protect Watson’s money should he be suspended. Which is even worse! Going out of your way to protect a guy who might suspend for sexually assaulting or harassing 22+ women? No, don’t like that at all,” finished off Mitchell Schwartz in his incredible Twitter thread on the trade of Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns.
