Mark Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson down for team "build a dome."
The 28-year-old QB shared his thoughts on the franchise's stadium situation via the QB Unplugged Podcast he hosts with personal coach Quincy Avery.
"If anybody can sit here and say that it's not an advantage, especially for quarterbacks to play inside in a warm, then you're crazy you know I'm saying," said Watson "Dry ball and being able to throw the ball without no wind, or no lightning, or rain, nothing is definitely key. So I would say if I had to pick, of course I'm gonna go with the dome, and a new facility, and and the lights, and all that stuff that's gonna bring more money to the city."
While Deshaun Watson may have his preference in regards to what type of facility the Browns play in in the future, there's no guarantee he'll even be here to see the new facility. 2024 is an important year for the former first-round pick as he looks to rebound from two inconsistent seasons that were derailed by a suspension in 2022 and then multiple shoulder injuries in 2023.
Currently, Watson is under contract through the end of the 2026 season. The Browns lease on their current home at Cleveland Browns Stadium expires two years after that in 2028, which is essentially a soft deadline for the team to have their plans finalized. That said, the Haslam's mentioned this week that they could extend the lease by a few years if they need to.

Late rapper Nipsey Hussle left a hole in the hearts of fans worldwide when he was shockingly gunned down on March 31st, 2019. Though Nip was known for records such as “Dedication” and “Grinding All My Life,” his impact on the community attracted just as many supporters. Before the Grammy Award winner’s life was cut short, Nipsey spent years spreading his resources to those in need.
During a November 2018 interview with “Good Day L.A.,” the rapper gave cameras a tour of 59th Street Elementary School, which he’d revamped in collaboration with Puma. He’d also donated $10,000 to the school. Good deeds such as these were not the first nor last time that Nip showed up for his Crenshaw neighborhood, which was the inspiration behind his Marathon clothing line and much of his music career.
