We didn't think we'd get questions like this so early in the 2024 season, but here we are. How long will the Browns stick with Deshaun Watson if he plays like he did against Dallas? That's what one of our Football Insider subscribers wanted to know on Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. They discuss Watson's performance against the Cowboys and if he can turn it around and what happens if he doesn't. (Note: This was recorded as the most recent lawsuit against Watson was made public.) They also discuss other issues against the Cowboys, including the performance of the coaching staff and how much blame they should get for the performance. They talk about the Browns' preseason playing time plan and their approach to OTAs and training camp and what impact that had on Sunday's game against Dallas as well as the front office's approach at tackle.
