Baker and a couple first rounders for Watson? Rodgers no longer the highest paid QB? Insane.

Hearing fully guaranteed 5 yr $230 million deal?

 

So much for Falcons vs. Saints

 

There can't be many good looking women in Cleveland. Maybe he will keep it in his pants.

 

We have no chance to compete in the AFC.

 

They do have Amari Cooper and a pretty good TE (Njoku).

Agree on the Falcons - going to be very difficult to salvage the relationship with Ryan.

 

That's unbelievable. I bet they structured the contract that way expecting a possible suspension this season. It also lets them "load up" for one year...which does no good if they don't have a QB.

 

The Browns being the Browns again...

 

Eh, the Texans got worse, Cleveland got a little better...that's balanced out. The problem for us is Buffalo loading up for a championship run. That's the only team in our path that truly matters.

 

Well, now I'm in a position of rooting against my late father's favorite team for the first time in my life. Gonna be a lot of dirty looks in my direction at family gatherings on Sunday afternoons this fall.

 

The division records for a lot of these teams could be 3-3 or 4-2 at best. Miami getting to 10 wins and a 4-2 division record should serve them well in the playoff hunt.

Now, once there? Tough sledding, but as the Bengals showed, you get hot at the right time and catch a couple breaks and who knows?

 

I think once things went south with Mayfield, they had no other choice but to do this. Cleveland fans are sick of losing. Probably more than our fan base. Watson has his work cut out for him in that city, but the Browns will be relevant on a yearly basis with him.

 

I'm not sure what Mayfield is as a QB but playing him when he had a partially torn labrum was never going to make for a successful year. I think they were leaning towards moving on from him before last season started and making him play on that injury gave them the perfect excuse to not pay him and give them an out with the fanbase to move on.

 

Leonard Fournette and Jarvis were planning on signing with Atlanta if they had signed Watson. Still would have no defense and no OL, but there would have been a lot of excitement leading up to a 6-11 season.

 

The Browns made his base salary this season only one million dollars to cater to him in case he gets suspended. So, he won't lose that much money per game while he's suspended.

What a sleazy organization.

What a sleazy person.

They deserve eachother. I hope they tank hard.

 

It would be hilarious if after all of this the NFL delayed his suspension for another year and then gave him the actual suspension next season.

 

Now we know how they got him to reconsider them after being told they were out of the running. As much as I want a great qb, I’m glad Miami didn’t go that route to get one.

 

Man, Watson really loves his happy endings.


Alright, I had to do it one last time.

 

Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield is sitting there in limbo. He knows once Watson is eligible to play, he’s no longer the starter. He’s asked for a trade and the Browns have said no.

So be it. If I was Mayfield, the first snap of the first game of the 2022 season, I would intentionally throw an interception to a wide open defender, one that has a clear shot to the Endzone.

My mindset would be, “if you’re going to screw me, I’m going to screw you”

 

That was before they traded for Watson. They signed Briskett to back up Watson so Baker is gone.

 

What are you talking about? They’re going to trade Baker Mayfield.

 

Word on the social media echo chamber is that Baker is off to the Colts.

 

The last I saw, the Browns said no to trading Mayfield to Indy. Has something changed since yesterday that I missed?

 

Yes, they traded for and gave Deshaun Watson $230 million and signed Jacoby Brissett.

What do you think they're going to put him on the practice squad?

 

He would be guaranteed to start. Lock is terrible.
