RaidersAreOne Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 @Bitty 2.0 suggested something in the Raiders section which is interesting to think about: Quote OK, here’s the question of the day. Do we trade a seventh round pick to Cleveland for Deshaun Watson and their first round? The Raiders can cut Watson and eat $80 million for a top five pick. IIRC, didn't Cleveland take on Brock Osweiler's contract years ago for a pretty decent draft pick? Can you reasonably see anyone doing this? Would Cleveland give up a high 1st to simply get that historically awful contract off the books and rid themselves of Watson's dark shadow? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans only received a 2nd for the Osweiler stuff. What was Osweiler's contact vs. Watson? Also Brock just sucked, Watson sucks and is the vilian of the NFL hurting the franchise both on and off the field. These are very different situations imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans only received a 2nd for the the Raiders eat 80 million and then Cleveland eats 80 million over the next couple years. Not Positive but I think Cleveland owes DeSean Watson 140 million. The Raiders will eat 80 million and Cleveland will have the rest. Ballpark figures Holy **** I just looked it up. It’s 200 million in dead money.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Cleveland needs that pick if its a franchise QB more than they need the cap space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Harris and Adam Peters are not Dan Snyder, so take the Commanders out of the running for this. If this year’s QB class was last year’s, I think the Browns just cut him now.

NYRaider Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 There's no way you could trade for him and then immediately cut him, IIRC it'd be like a $175M+ dead cap hit. You'd have to trade for him, pay him $72M in 2025, and then cut him with a $72M dead cap hit in 2026. Unless you are just completely committed to tanking for the foreseeable future I'm not sure how you could sacrifice 25% of your cap space for two consecutive seasons for a 1st round pick.

Yeah, it's multiple FRPs at a minimum to take on that kind of dead money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the Raiders take the whole amount 50% at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
