i suspect the browns will end up dealing mayfield to the panthers ot seahawks. or, they use him to ride out any watson suspension. mayfield is a free agent and will have an incentive to play well no matter what he thinks of the organization.
as for watson, i wonder what they're demanding to settle those things? he should have settled it a long time ago just to get it out of the papers, but if theyre looking for a million per claimant, that would be tough to pay for. sometimes you need to just cut your losses. otoh, tony buzzbee might not want to settle it yet as it keeps his name in the news.
