Like the regular season wasn’t enough for the Browns to take Ls. They have even continued that trend into the offseason, with the latest L coming in the form of Myles Garrett. “The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl,” Garrett said in his statement on Monday. So, with the imminent departure of Garrett from Cleveland. Deshaun Watson, who continues to play the role of villain in the Browns’ downfall, has a message for his followers.

Watson, who is still recovering from his second ACL injury with the Dawg Pound, took to his Instagram stories early on Tuesday morning. There, Deshaun Watson shared a snap of his coffee mug with the message, “God got you,” while tagging his girlfriend Jilly Anais. Well, Watson’s message came at a time when the fingers were getting pointed at his role in Garrett’s departure. Steven A. Smith, for one, believes Deshaun Watson is the person to blame for Myles Garrett handing in a trade request.

“I’m not surprised, and I completely support Myles Garrett…The person that I blame the most, unfortunately, respectfully, is Deshaun Watson,” Smith said on ESPN’s First Take. So, the reason behind Smith blaming Watson boils down to two things. Their lack of success in the postseason. And Watson’s uninspiring tenure with the Browns since getting that $230M fully guaranteed contract. “The Browns organization, they’ve been to playoffs two times in the last five years. That’s the good news and that’s really not that good.” Smith added.

He then went on to put Watson in a tough spot, blaming him for everything that had gone wrong in Cleveland. “If Deshaun Watson had gone to Cleveland and balled the way he was capable. The way he showcased how he could ball when he was a Houston Texan. Myles Garrett would not be asking for this trade.” Maybe it is true. For Watson, the Browns gave up six draft picks, including three first-rounders. And in return, he played just 19 games, throwing 19 TDs with a record of 9-10 as a starter.

So, with such a generational disaster still lurking in Cleveland. Myles Garrett may have received an opportunity to play for a QB who knows how to lead, unlike Watson.

Lamar Jackson’s secret message to the Ravens after Myles Garrett’s exit rumors

Imagine losing your reigning Defensive Player of the Year to your divisional rivals when your team is already going through a slump. That will probably come true in a few days if the Ravens do take Lamar Jackson’s message seriously. See, the moment Garrett handed in his trade request, the Ravens QB re-tweeted a post on X. One of the fans had Garrett in a Ravens uniform with the caption, “Purple fits you well, Myles Garrett…do you like crab cakes?” So, with Jackson leading the charge himself, is it possible for the Ravens to land the five-time Pro Bowler?

Well, one person could stand in the way of Garrett going to Baltimore, and that’s Browns GM Andrew Berry. Going back to last month, Berry had made it clear they are not looking to trade their defensive powerhouse: “We always have a really good and direct two-way communication with our players. We feel really good about Myles obviously as a big piece of our future. We’re looking forward to him being on the field.” Berry also expressed his desire to keep Garrett in Cleveland until the day he hangs up his cleats, “We want him to retire here.” 

But can he really convince Garrett to stay after everything that has gone wrong in the last few years? See, Garrett is still under contract until 2026, so it isn’t like the Browns don’t have the leverage they need. Yes, Garrett envisions his future elsewhere. But maybe they could change his mind with some major reshuffling in their franchise, starting with their QB room.
