Broncofan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 On the plus side, this is Dorsey actually locking up a guy. Hubbard & Carrie were the only other guys with contracts that locked them into 2019 for sure before this. On the down side, yeah, that's a lot of coin. I get it's the going rate for having to change the culture...but man, OBJ & Cooper & pretty much every other young up & coming WR must be smiling from ear to ear right now.

If this is a bad deal, I'd love to see what anyone would call the Sammy Watkins deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that deal sucked even worse....and Im sure many would agree. I think some will be harder on this deal mainly because it involves the Browns. Personally...I dont think its a terrible DEAL....just a massive overpay. Meaning, the deal itself wont likely hurt the Browns negatively since they have a ton of money and not many large contracts right now....but I still think they gave Landry too much money for what he brings to the table. The Watkins deal will be a bad DEAL IMO. Only remotely saving grace is that its only 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBJ is smiling somewhere, and not because his boy just got paid. What’s wrong with 10yards a catch? That’s a first down. It’s not his fault that’s how Miami used him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns aren't exactly poster children for a well run organization. 2 minutes ago, FourThreeMafia said: Personally...I dont think its a terrible DEAL....just a massive overpay.

I think unfortunately right now the Browns are in a position where they have to slightly overpay some talented guys to lock them up. It's not exactly a free agent hot spot right now, and Landry at least brings some semblance of stability to the position group and they're clearly wanting him as their 3rd down safety outlet for their rookie QB after Tyrod this year. 2 minutes ago, FourThreeMafia said: The Watkins deal will be a bad DEAL IMO. Only remotely saving grace is that its only 3 years. $30 million guaranteed for Sammy, who I think is solid when healthy...but WOW. AB and OBJ must be licking their chops.

It’s not his fault that’s how Miami used him We used him that way because he lacks the skill-set to be used as a parameter vertical receiver. Which is fine - I loved Jarvis and his role was an important one. But that's pretty much who he is. And this price tag for that role is unheard of. He'll be productive, no doubt. A real security blanket for whichever QB the Browns go with. But I can't see him being worth the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I'm no fan of the Watkins deal either. WR is probably the one position where we are seeing more & more non-elite guys getting paid elite $. Sooner or later that's got to give. For a while the game really focused on having the go-to 160-180 target alpha WR, but we're seeing that with more spread O's and using the RB more in the passing game, unless you are OBJ-level, it's just so hard to justify this type of $.

Twizlers Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Didn't the Browns draft like 10 receivers one year not too long ago? Crazy that not one of them panned out to be a above-average starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well - you finally got rid of that God awful front office and replaced them with some football people - and its a wonderous thing what extended losing will do for an organization (read: multiple high draft picks) & player/salary dumps that result in a Gazillion dollars to spend. Homer Simpson could figure his way through those minefields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
