Rob Parker counters the argument that teams are unwilling to cut highly-paid quarterbacks by citing precedents like the Denver Broncos cutting Russell Wilson, incurring a massive dead cap hit. He argues that teams will move on if a player isn't performing at an elite level, regardless of the financial penalty. The point concludes by stating that if Watson isn't playing like an MVP, the team will eventually seek to move on, despite the cost.

Impact: High. This argument challenges the notion that Watson's contract is an insurmountable barrier, suggesting that NFL teams have shown a willingness to absorb significant financial losses for a change at quarterback. It implies that Watson's performance, not just his contract, will dictate his future with the Browns.
