BROWNS OUT OF WATSON RACE
-
Watson would be an upgrade over Baker, but it's a moot point since the Browns can't afford him:
Browns are over the cap after picking up Cooper's contract, and there's no way Berry would gut the team to clear enough cap space to pick up Watson.

I don't think you have to "gut" the team to get there. Cutting Keenam, Jarvis and Hooper while trading Mayfield gets you there and many of those may be moves they're already considering.
Granted, you would have to replace spots on the roster, so more creativity would be required. But there have been teams in far worse condition who have made it work.
Not proposing they do it. Just saying it could be done without losing much from the roster that is particularly productive.
EDIT: I guess it would be a restructuring for Hooper rather than a cut which doesn't save much. But you could potentially do better than my numbers if done right.
-
Cutting Hooper after 6/1 [or, i suppose "formally to take effect" 6/1] is only 3.75 dead with a 9.5 savings.. 3.6 is carried in 2022 for Clowney and he likely won't be here.
Problem is that Stef's offense uses 2 TE's and only Njoku can start. Harrison Bryant needs to improve to be more than a sub.

Highly doubt the move happens. I hate the idea of giving up Newsome, but Watson has played in the south and the southwest his entire career. Just don't see him saying "Cleveland winters?! Fuck yeah"

Agreed, I see him going to Carolina…after all he played at Clemson and I’m sure the fans there would welcome him with open arms.
Besides, I shudder at the thought of selling the farm for someone who’s only marginally better than what we have.

The salary cap implications will make it tough for any team to get him, especially Cle. Plus all that draft capital the Texans supposedly want.
Maybe that's Berry's question....will you restructure Desean? Could be a brief meeting.

But they won't say no... because of the implication.
(Bonus points if anyone gets the reference)

..You keep using that word implication. it sounds like Watson doesn't want to be here though.

Seems deep lol....in reference to the 22 accusers?

If you all trade for watson you better never say another word about Ben being a “rapist”. I will be in here fighting the boards virtue signaling every damn day. Zombo get your ban hanmer ready. ???
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

With JC Tretter apparently being released (saving 8 mil or so against the cap) and assuredly Hooper as well, it's hard not to feel like they're trying to clear up roughly $17 million dollars for a certain someone.

So I'm assuming that this is the outrageous trade for Watson thread?
From The Beacon Journal I'd prefer to hear Terry Pluto's take on it. In other news real estate brokers have reported that Ray Lewis Richie Incognito and Aaron Hernandez are looking at homes in Strongsville.

Watson doesn't like the cold weather. He ain't comin' to Cleveland.
Let's face it. The Browns stadium needs a dome. Doesn't matter what the dip-shit fan base says about football being an outdoor game. We want good players. And some of 'em don't want to be out in the cold if they don't have to.
-
is he that incredibly soft that he will not play in cold weather?Carolina and NO- will never play in cold weather?
