They never tell you what you need to know.

Way to go Cleveland Browns organization. 230 million guaranteed for a guy who will not have taken a snap in two years. Maybe they negotiate it down less than a year but with all the crap going on right now, the NFL will look like women haters if they do anything less than a year. Deshaun recently settled with 20 of the 24 plaintiffs. I was trying to figure that out, would that be like me paying $200 or $2,000.00? Either way if I could settle 20 lawsuits against me for $2,000 sign me up!!!! Although I hope to never have any lawsuits against me let alone 24.

Last year Mayfield got hurt early and played with a bad shoulder and they came back to Earth but there was still hope for this year.
Then that fucking trade! Watson is a good QB but he's damaged goods and they gave up way too much to get him. I was and still am against that trade and the huge guaranteed contract they gave him. They mortgaged their future for a QB that may not play for a year or more.
Talk is their meddling owner Haslam who has a history of trying hard to replace Snyder and Jones as the biggest fool NFL owner pressured his front office to make that trade.
What happens to Watson remains to be seen, a year suspension, possibly less, maybe more is knocking on the door. The whole thing is a massive cluster fuck and leave it to the Browns to be the stars. It's just sad.
Yes I am completely aware of this, still doesn't make this deal any better IMO, maybe for Watson but nobody else.
I still don't know what exactly he's even accused of, but wasn't this the case where the detective on case basically came out and said they believe all complaints and its up to the accused to prove they're innocent? And a grand jury declined to indict him two or three times? That sorta thing really casts some doubt on the situation, which is unfortunate for all involved. I never want to support bad behavior, but I hate to see a situation where the mere accusation is enough to convict someone.
With the million in play for the first year I understood that as if he gets to play part of the season they will prorate that million for how ever long he gets to play for the season then going forward it’s the full contract. So essentially if he plays half the season in 2022-23 he would get 500k, so his contract would really be for 229.5 million.
Where that 500k goes who knows, maybe they’ll give it to Baker for fucking him over.
Interestingly the lawyers are going after the Texans now, hoping for another payday.
All the local news out of training camp says Watson looks A-1... just have to wait a year. he's only what... 26?
