Schefter: Watson to Browns
-
Decades of not having a Super Bowl caliber quarterback. Finally, the drought has ended. I can’t believe this turnaround.
Does it come with a caveat? Oh hell yeah. Big time. There is shit to deal with. But will that noise be drowned out by his play on the field? Wouldn’t be the first time.
I’m excited to finally see my team with a legit QB.

Figured I'd get an early jump on what we're looking at.
Watching Watson operate from empty sets is night and day different than watching Baker.
-
Also, Watson won't take the snap in Berea and drop back to Strongsville before throwing. Wherever Baker goes, good luck with that OL..

This was the most obvious take away from the empty looks. Depth is 6-7yards. It's outstanding.

Watch some of the goal line sets. The back shoulder dimes. Placement with his fade routes and the uncomfortable way he makes the defense think about his running ability. Red zone offense is going to be a night and day difference

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.

It's not nearly as wild when you consider what the Broncos just gave up to get Russell Wilson, Vag.... It was draft picks or players... We might have been able to cut it down to two firsts, at the cost of giving up say Denzel Ward and a couple more players, but supposedly the Texans only wanted picks... Well- they just got a boatload of them.
"The Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks (2022 -- No. 9 overall -- and 2023), two second-round picks (2022 -- No. 40 overall -- and 2023) and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick"
You can quibble about the contract, but in case you're ignoring it, Wilson is seven years older than Watson.

The Steelers via FA have opened their entire draft to do whatever the hell they want. Honey badger opposite minkah is very possible. All the new contracts are also structured to get out of. You may want to check the qb’s next draft. Watson is terrific but his contract is fully guaranteed and it’s a lot. No firsts for three seasons and who knows what else. You should be happy but acting like the browns are going to run away with the division now is hilarious. I was already talking about how the browns were going to have trouble keeping the roster together and they just gave 230 to one guy, all guaranteed. He’s still gonna be running from our d which is getting better by the day. If Mitch sucks stroud is in play. ?
Well, plain as mud now why the Browns dumped Tretter and Landry... Welcome to Cap Hell Browns... BTW, they had better hope Denzel Ward will give them a hometown discount, he's in line for a big raise.
-
1] Note from far down the article -- Three first-rounders was Texans asking price. So that was part of the deal no matter what the contract was going to be.
2] 46/yr is actually right in line with the other current top contracts -- mahomes is 45, allen is 43, rodgers is 50. So not really more hell than the other teams with probowl QB's.
Now, to get the return on that money will be another thing entirely.. Maybe Clowney and OBJ will give us a probowlQB discount?

Garrett is a $28 million cap hit next season, Amari Cooper $20 million, Watsons $48- Three players $96 million.
I hope they know what they're doing.

Johnny Manziel has a better shot to return at this point
i think i just need to chill untill after the smoke clears

Cooper is on a one year prove it deal. Actually, it's a zero year deal, his dead cap this year is a big fat nothing. I'm more concerned about Ward, he's on the final year of his rookie contract at $13 million and he's a UFA next year. I doubt he'd be willing to take less.
Supposedly the Browns have offered Clowney 2 years $24 million. Will a shot at a Super Bowl make him change his mind and come back? Also depends on how long Watson is going to be suspended for.

The draft picks I expected. It’s the 230m fully guaranteed that I think is insane. He has at least 12 civil suits pending.

As I mentioned to Flugels... $230 million will make a lot of those suits go away... And correct me if I'm wrong... But didn't Ben have to pay off some of his accusers?

Well fellas, I'm a man of my word. I can hope against hope the backlash in Cleveland is enough to cause an uprising, but it won't be.
Easy decision for me to not support this team and organization until the sexual deviant is gone. It's going to be a hard break from this board, so I genuinely hope the best for all of you. I've come to see many of you as virtual fans and buddies with me, and I hope life treats you well. None of you bastards better die on me until God willing this board is still operational and this clown is off the team. I'm not trying to be holier than thou, but this is an easy line in the sand for me.
Best of luck-Justin

Bring in Kaepernick to back-up and distract the media. Win win.

Will the Browns even do an introduction presser? If they do, questions will have to be pre-selected. SMH. F’n face of the franchise talking rub & tug and suspension before he takes a snap. This is soooo Browns
