Rob Parker asserts that Deshaun Watson will be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns due to the significant amount of money owed to him, making it financially devastating to cut him. He argues that Shador Sanders did not perform well enough to warrant displacing Watson, drawing a parallel to the Seattle Seahawks' decision to start Russell Wilson over Matt Flynn despite Flynn's contract. The point concludes by stating that the Browns must play Watson and see how it goes.
