AFlaccoSeagulls Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Browns got a 3rd round pick for a RB they're never going to use? My goodness, BOB. That tweet about Houston having several "qualified" people sure seems accurate..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I feel like Duke is a good player when motivated. Like they definitely need to extend him to pay this price. He can't play in fear of not getting a new deal that's how soft tissue injuries happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's part of the asking price, you don't have to worry about contract discussions until 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 But can Duke GM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Good trade both ways I think. I like Duke as a receiver and 3rd down guy in the slot and out of the backfield, butt with Landry in the slot and Chubb/Hunt in the backfield he became irrelevant here. Houston will like him a lot I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know ‘20 season he is the 12th highest paid back that year. ‘21season he is 7th/8th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texans have the cap space (upwards of $40mm right now) and that figure should go up next season - so the actual dollars don't burn too much. Still sucks dropping that sort of scratch on a RB, but it shouldn't prevent any sort of contract discussions with Jadevion Clowney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I have no problem dropping that kind of money on a RB if they are worth it. Duke’s paycheck doesn’t match the impact he makes. I think he is in for a rude awakening for his next contract. I do wish him the best but it got annoying that he over inflated his self worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know ‘20 season he is the 12th highest paid back that year. ‘21season he is 7th/8th Except that Zeke & MG3 are going to get paid by 2020, so he's at minimum the 14th highest back by then, and more like the 16th-17th if 2 RB's go Round 1 in the draft. By 2021 he'll be in the teens, as Mixon/Cook/Kamara will be UFA's, and CMC will have his 5th year option taken (and add in the 1-2 RB's going Rd1 in what's supposed to be an elite RB draft class from 2020 in their year 2 salary). The draft capital spent is the real overpay - the salary won't be crazy at all by 2020-21. It's incredibly reasonable, if Duke is the 60+ percent touch and important RZ/pass/2-minute drill guy.

I think the browns made his contract easy to get out of for the 20 and 21 season. If you trade a 3rd him, would you really want to cut him in ‘20 or ‘21?

I can say with certainty that his next contract won't be with Houston. BOB/Caserio (because he'll be the GM by the time this contract is complete) is going the Belicheck route, finding RBs and deploying them as cannon fodder. Duke Johnson has an expiration date with the Texans, I'm pretty sure on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
