You can have his $230 million contract. But you have to be Deshaun Watson. You have to feel what it feels like to have ruined your good name. You have to feel all of the guilt you can never admit to. You have to hear everything — every ugly chant that mocks you with angry derision. And you have to wonder if any of it will ever go away.
Would you make that deal? To be Deshaun Watson ... to be so rich but at such cost. What if all of the money in the world was not enough to buy back your reputation?
It got real for Watson the other night. It got football-real and real ugly.
