    Can’t argue with that.

    I can’t wait to see the quality of the Green Bay defense after giving Rogers that fat contract.

    Unless something drastically happens with the salary cap, I expect that defense will be made up of cast offs and practice squad players.

    You are going to find out how well the Browns can or can't draft in a hurry. It was a brain dead contract. Draft picks are justified.

    Brain dead? Yeah- if some Browns fans don't want to think the ONLY reason Watson changed his mind was because of the $$$, you're right- they're brain dead.  

    Aw gee, guess the Browns are bad guys for resetting the compensation level of quarterbacks in the NFL arms race?  38 year old Aaron Rodgers has $150 million guaranteed over three years. Five years ago, Joe Q Fan thought it was nuts when the Vikings gave Kirk Cousins (when by today's standards) a piddly $80 million fully guaranteed.  Some eyebrows got raised when the Chiefs made news giving Mahomes 10 years and $450 million. So by those yardsticks, Five years $230 million isn't quite as outrageous as it sounds.  

    Yeah, the guy's low on the moral meter, but as was previously posted- there's tons of current and former NFL players who were worse. Should Watson lives up to his past performance level, and stay out of any further trouble.. He's going to be worth the price paid.. for your perusal VAg...

    PS- you remove Watson's baggage, and I count 14 NFL teams who would be thrilled to have him, and there were at least several other teams besides the Browns who wanted him with his baggage.   🙂 

  • Just to piss off nickers and cantondawg.

  • Maybe it's just me but surely we could have found an untainted QB with those 3 1st rounders in trade value. It's called move up for the best QB. Maybe not this year for I just don't see one that is a sure fire SB level QB. But surely within the next couple of years while we stack the rest of the chips onto the team to give him the best chance to succeed.

    Too much baggage added to that makes it untenable. Throw in a key injury to said Mr. Watson and the Browns are once again head clowns of the donkey league.

  • Eh.  He's the QB now.  I support him.  Go Browns!

    The problem is all that money is fully guaranteed. You are also 100% correct on if the baggage is gone. However if the baggage were gone he may be a steeler. It's where he wanted to be based on several reports. I'm glad he's not at that cost.

    I don't care about the costs (not my money and he only gets 1 million next year)..I'm glad we didn't have to give up any players.

    There is a real possibility watson doesn’t play a down this season. He has a load of civil suits still pending. It drives that first up even higher. Luckily you all have case Keenum who should have played more last year. Watson is a stud but that trade is wiiiiiiillllld and it’s wildness is being ignored. 230m fully guaranteed, three firsts and additional undisclosed draft picks. 

    Watson was accused of putting his dick in someone’s hand who was unwilling to hold it. 
     

    Roethlisberger was accused of putting his dick in someone’s vagina without their consent. 
     

    Ray Lewis 

    Ray Rice

    Mike Vick

    Joe Mixon

    Crazy fuck from the Panthers Mod Edit:  Greg Hardy 

    Kareem Hunt

    Tyreek Hill 

    Josh Gordon

    A few hundred other people. 
     

    we’re either going to keep watching the sport in spite of what all these idiots keep doing or not. If not, so be it. I understand. Im going to keep watching for now.

    Yup...shoot add the Patriots and Colts owner. Some of these people voted for Trump or Clinton and supported some Supreme Court Justices who were accused-the people we are supposed to look up to.  There is something to be said that a Grand Jury did not indict....it's a super low bar

    Now that's bordering on a political no-no here... But you're right- Kraft soliciting prostitution (even on a tape that he got destroyed as inadmissible), and then Irsay consuming strictly  illegal substances...  No penalties if you're in the Owner's Club.  But then our own Jimmy Haslam didn't know about that scam when he was running Pilot\ Flying J either.

    Did I say anything about banning?  That was by my definition pure flamebaiting to get a rise out of nickers.  Ghoolie would have been proud of you.  

    But I could delete this thread just to let you know I can delete stuff WAY faster than you can post it.  😁

    Exactly.....I know...thats why I put both sides of the political spectrum.  My line is if this Watson thing is the line but aaaall the other things weren't?

    And I saw a friend who is talking mess who supported Albert Belle after he ran over kids purposely

    Right? They sure as hell don't grow on trees, and we've been turning over every rock since 19 was slinging it side arm, with no luck whatsoever. We've had our share of pretenders and imposters that raised our hopes, but we have not had the guy.... until now.
