Does Kevin Stefanski have the power to bench Deshaun Watson or is Jimmy Haslam making that call?

Opinion: Browns need to bench Deshaun Watson, even though they refuse to do so. The good people of Cleveland, Ohio, do not deserve this. May the populace seek solace in the Guardians this October instead. The Browns are incapable of invoking anything other than pity. While other issues inhibit the Browns, quarterback Deshaun Watson deserves most of the blame for their 1-4 start and another season gone by the wayside after Sunday's 34-13 blowout at the hands of the Washington Commanders. The Browns guaranteed Watson generational wealth, and he rewarded the franchise with sub-mediocrity and borderline ghastliness. Next week will be his sixth start of 2024, the number he made in each of his first two seasons with the Browns. Coach Kevin Stefanski shouldn’t let him make it that far, though he remains committed to Watson. At this point, though, why not try and see what Jameis Winston can do? It’s still early enough to make a change and try to ride the team’s solid defense to another postseason berth. | https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
