SkippyX Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Riddle this one out. Out of all the players in the history of the Cleveland Browns. Who is the only Brown that you know was already getting their contract reworked today (or yesterday)? It starts with Deshau_ and ends with _atson Its truly staggering that they would find the cap space there. What are the odds? Yeah, we'd love to do this deal today, but only if we can get Amari to rework his contract so we don't offend anyone by doing something within the rules. Occam's Razor, the path of least resistance, whatever. Edited March 19, 2022 by SkippyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a stupid as it sounds. Okay, so... Watson could back out if he chose to? That's what I was really getting at. I'm not trying to create a conspiracy theory, nor do I expect this to happen, I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is that the Browns won over Watson (who had to waive his no trade clause) by giving him a ton more money (which will of course be charged to their cap) AND removing almost all financial cost of 2022 suspension from Watson and putting on the team's cap/payroll via signing bonus regardless of how much time he misses this year. You were the one who was weirdly making the case that this was good for the Browns cap so that is why they redid the deal with a bunch of additional new money and acted like it was a positive for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nutty if they backed out but stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure of Rodgers', Mahomes', and Prescott's contracts do as well. Its adding nefarious intentions to math. Math is not nefarious. Always find out for yourself first. Don't assume and don't look to me or anyone else to provide all your answers. I suggest you go to overthecap.com and find how many 10m+ average contracts have 2022 salaries under 2 million. Kamara is a good place to start. Could he be suspended? sure Do the Saints need every nickel for the last 3 years? also yes Are the Saints and Kamara also nefarious or just Watson and Cleveland because of some feelings?

Jeff George was talented. A lot less talented quarterbacks had more success. If Watson can go to ten Super Bowls, and win seven...well that would be impressive.

y*so*blu Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I knew someone was going to massively overpay for Watson, and I was not disappointed. I plan to ignore his existence until he plays the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
