Schefter:
Attorney Tony Buzbee announced in a statement that all but four of the civil lawsuits against Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson have been settled. He did not disclose the details of the settlement.
Payoff to try to avoid a layoff.

Did Watson practice and be a part of OTAs and excrement last year?

All the latest rumors are that the expectation is he gets a full season suspension.

It does make me wonder if an NFL player can entirely be away from the game that long (ie not just injured, but completely away from film meetings practices etc) and come back at an elite level.

I mean you're talking about what, a 2.5 year hiatus or something?

Especially at a position like QB where you can't just get by with extreme physical talent

I would think the quarterback position is probably the most forgiving of long-term absences, next to kickers/punters.  The hardest, IMO, are the ones where you need to stay absolutely rocked up from adolescence through retirement, like running back and linebacker.  We've seen guys like Le'Veon Bell and CJ Mosley come back into the fray after one-year+ absences, "in the best shape of their lives," and they clearly lost crucial steps.  We've also seen Michael Vick come back after a multi-year absence and he could still throw at a comparable level to before his prison term.

I was just coming here after thinking about Vick.

And true Vick did miss two seasons as well.

However Vick is potentially the most physically gifted QB of all time. And he essentially had a redshirt year after returning to the league.I do think that redshirt year was absolutely paramount to Vicks return. But if Watson does nothing for the Browns until year 3? Yikes, that wouldn't go over well

Bell is a fair example, but RBs do have the shortest shelf life of any position out there.

But yes he did have a good first season as starter, but he was far from an Elite QB.

Watsons contract, trade compensation, and headaches
All essentially demand he comes in as nothing short of elite

What if jizzing over unwilling massage therapists was the key to keeping his quarterbacking skills balanced on the razor's edge of greatness?

Robert Kraft probably gave him advice on soliciting happy endings.

I completely missed the ball on this whole thing being a cash chase.

But it's crazy to think people on here wanted to give 5 or 6 1st round picks for this dude.

That's enoguh to end your franchise for 10-15 years

Watson chose the Browns because they were the only team stupid enough to write him a blank check.

I feel sorry for the Browns' fans but everyone else involved in this situation deserves the absolute worst.

I don't particularly hate the Browns more than any other team, I even feel a kinship with them since they've sucked as bad if not worse than us over the years. 

Just out of morbid curiosity I'd love to see them get stuck with the Watson contract and him get suspended indefinitely. I'd just be interested in seeing how the hell they can maneuver the cap with a $55 million cap hit without the player.

Some were OK giving up 3 to 4 firsts for him BEFORE any of the the allegations surfaced

Everyone just thought he was tired of playing in Houston
