#Browns owner Jimmy Haslam walked back his “swing and a miss” comment on Deshaun Watson from last year, pointing to his injuries and suspension, while expressing optimism about his future.

“It’s not for lack of effort, OK? I mean, I don’t think anybody in our organization would question his effort, his toughness, everything he’s put into the job. The reality is he’s had major injuries. His shoulder, tore his Achilles twice. So he’s been really ravaged by injuries, and that, along with the 11-game suspension, has kept him from playing.

Deshaun has a great chance—a fresh start with an offensive-minded coach who has, in the past, been able to work with all kinds of different quarterbacks and make them successful. So Deshaun has a great chance to do that now.”

#Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, on Deshaun Watson’s 2026 potential, referenced what Sam Darnold recently did:

“There are a lot of quarterbacks who—it seems to be kind of the theme in the NFL—either started or did not start well and then take their team to a Super Bowl championship, right? And what a great story that is for Sam Darnold. Deshaun started great, and the year before we signed him, he was rated the second-best quarterback in the NFL. And then the suspension and the injuries and all that piled up. Can he come back from that? He certainly had the ability at one point in time, and we’re cautiously optimistic. But we’ll see.”
