Yeah agreed about it being 100% guaranteed. It was the sign of a desperate team who knew they had already alienated their current franchise QB by publicly chasing Watson, and had to come away with something.
With a contract like that, it's little wonder the Browns went from being the first team eliminated from the Watson sweepstakes out of those 4 teams chasing him, to suddenly getting back in the race and taking the lead right at the very end. No-one else was giving him a fully guaranteed contract like that. His agent played that whole situation masterfully.
