Stephen A. Smith sends retirement message to Deshaun Watson

The Cleveland Browns’ never-ending quarterback carousel looks to continue in 2026.

Going into the offseason, the Browns have Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson on the roster.

On Thursday, Dan Orlovsky and Stephen A. Smith discussed the Browns QB situation, and Smith had a harsh retirement message for Watson.

“My god, how awful can you be?” Smith said. “There’s nowhere to go but up, and Deshaun Watson is still getting paid. Let me look on national TV and tell Deshaun Watson this: If you can’t win the starting job in Cleveland this year, you need to retire…It’s over for you. You need to retire.”
