The Cleveland Browns are having a troubling start to their 2024 season. Through the first six weeks they have a 1-5 record and sit at the bottom of the AFC North. It will be difficult for the team to turn around this season unless there are some major changes.
One major change recently was Cleveland trading away star wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Cooper was a massive part of Cleveland’s offense and certainly got close with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson had something to say follow the trade.
Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson Makes Announcement After Amari Cooper Trade (Report)
A third-round pick was acquired by the Browns in exchange for Cooper, the team’s top pass-catcher the past two seasons. Cooper had just 24 receptions for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns through six games this season.
On Thursday, Watson sent Cooper a parting message during his media availability, wishing him well:
“The biggest thing is, of course, Coop is my brother. These last three years, we got to know each other, not just on the field, but especially off the field; hanging out in the off season, our families hanging out with each other,” Watson said.
“He helped me through some tough times that I was dealing with and vice versa. So, it’s definitely tough to see a brother and see a teammate that means a lot, not just for myself — but for the locker room — get traded away.
But you got to trust the organization and what AB (Andrew Berry) and Kevin (Stefanski) and those guys upstairs have planned, and that’s out of my control. But at the same time, we’re definitely going to miss him, and we appreciate everything he brought for this team and this organization.”
Watson’s future with Cleveland will be an interesting story line to watch in the next year or two. Despite all the off-the-field distractions, his play on the field hasn’t lived up to the massive contract he received, At some point, they will have to cut ties with each other before it get too bad.
As of now, Watson has a QBR of 23.4, which is one of the lowest in the NFL. Despite passing for 1,020 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions, he failed to make plays when the team needed them most

Thise comments were definitely not created from Watson; he has never spoken so eloquent in any of his press meetings. He can barely put a sentence together!!
