Browns QB Deshaun Watson Says he Will Soon Talk to DeAndre Hopkins to see Where Things Stand
Could DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson team up again? Potentially.Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and Hopkins were a very good duo in their time together in Houston. In 38 games played together, Watson has thrown for 9,716 passing yards to go along with 71 touchdowns and 29 interceptions. Hopkins was responsible for 25 of those touchdowns.
As far as Hopkins potentially coming to Cleveland, Watson admitted he understands it has to make sense on all fronts.

Salary caps says hi. If the Browns were to sign D-Hop, we might score 40 points each game, and still get beat by 10 or more. Leaves no room to fix the glaring holes in the D.
Having little room to maneuver under the cap, Browns need value for money. Sing all the picks, and some Affordable FAs who bring something to the table. Now is not the time for shiny new toys.

Great point KD!
If we had a FO that was good at drafting, fixing the glaring and OBVIOUS holes in our defense wouldn't feel like watching the Mission Impossible sequel here. Every time Seattle has frequented playoffs (and appeared in 2 Super Bowls) they did it via the draft, which made for a really freakin healthy salary cap (especially when you factor in the rookie salary cap helping that). Then they could use free agency the way it should be used as a supplement rather than leaning on it.

If there's 1 salary that could be tweaked to accommodate this - it would be Watson's.

While I like the idea of getting him here... I think fixing the Defense is paramount... I still want to see a healthy Jakeem Grant in this offense and see how much David Bell and Michael Wood develop. That would go a long way in helping out the O... But so far.. I'm not one bit thrilled with Watson... He looks whoefully pedestrian... And I don't want to hear he's been sitting on his ass for 2-3 years whatev's... If your good.. Your good and you shouldn't need 2 years to get your shit together.. There have been times I've taken months away from playing guitar to come back with fresh ideas.. it only takes me a couple days to get my groove and my chops back... The excuses are lame... I want to focus on 2 things in this draft/FA period.. OL and DL and maybe LB'er...

While I would also like to see even better results in the draft, it is not all doom and gloom.
Alex Wright could be ready to step up. Especially if we fix the IDL, you do not need a top 10 Edge opposite Myles. There is value in 'good enough.' Adding a veteran for the rotation could be good. Would Larry-O be interested in coming back?
Perrion Winfrey showed flashes of huge upside last season. Very interested to see how he develops. But we need to add two new pieces, I think. As I mentioned in the draft topic, the DT FA is very tight. Taven Bryan is projected to command double what he makes now, and he is not exactly a world beater. Dalvin Tomlinson looks to be the only upgrade we could possibly afford. We are going to have to use one of our higher picks here. Maybe a later round development player as well.
Then we have Emerson and Bell. We certainly have some promising picks from recent years to work with.

So far he's made a salary of 1.035 million (aside from signing bonus). I doubt there will be any restructuring anytime soon.
I was responding to this headline below looking like Watson wanted to see if there was a possibility Hopkins could join him in Cleveland. Understanding, Cleveland is somewhere in the bottom quarter of teams with available cap room - Watson gives the Browns the largest chunk of salary to tweak if Hopkins is a big enough wish of his. Watson will be making $54,993,000 per year in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. I posted some of his salary info under the headline below.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson Says he Will Soon Talk to DeAndre Hopkins to see Where Things Stand
- 2023 Salary Cap Charge: $54,993,000 (21.73% of cap)
- 2023 Cash Payout: $46,000,000 (19.97% of spending)
- 2023 Cash to Cap Ratio: 0.84
- Contract Value: $230,000,000 ($46,000,000 APY)
- Fully Guaranteed Money: $230,000,000
- Contract Ranking: 4/100 at QB

I will gladly join you in this line of thinking KD if the FO finally upgrades the IDL in their 4th opportunity to do so. Right now we're very stuck on pause with "if" = "still has not."

Isiah Thomas would be a better candidate.

Schwartz was not employed in those drafts. From what I have heard, he is a 'D-line whisperer.' As Tia has said before, he is practically certain to be involved in the draft this year.
Isiah Thomas would be a better candidate.
Happy to concede to your assessment. My point was slightly different though: Namely that the picks of recent years haven't been all bad, and a rotation can be built with them and value for money additions.
