Imagine how publicly intolerable the Browns’ acquisition of Deshaun Watson was that we’re sitting here after the Falcons had to trade Matt Ryan to the Colts because of their own failed pursuit of Watson—for scraps, by the way—and eat the largest dead cap hit in NFL history at the same time and thinking: well, it could be worse!
Of course, just barely so. The Falcons, like the Panthers and Saints, are set to play out a comically sad season after they lined up and tap danced for a quarterback who was alleged by 22 different women of either sexual assault or misconduct.
