Per Adam Schefter, “In speaking to some teams, I don’t think this is going to deter anyone’s interest in trading for Deshaun Watson”

Either we're THAT desperate to make this deal happen regardless or the overall perception is that this is a shakedown.

I think it's reasonable to believe the circumstances surrounding these allegations are strange despite people attempting to guilt trip everyone into automatically believing every accusation regardless of circumstance.

He said that before the 3rd case dropped.

Don't know, but yeah, I have a hard time buying that an allegation of forced oral sex wouldn't give a team pause.

Might be that teams are still interested if things get worked out. Trading for him under the current circumstances would be a huge mistake.

Think you gotta look at someone like Antonio Brown, who just won a Super Bowl with Tampa not getting much (if any) flack for signing him. His situation, which is still ongoing, is pretty similar to what Deshaun is being accused of.

The timing of all this is CERTAINLY suspect....as is the lawyer who is involved.

there is the argument NFL teams have better ears/contacts to what is actually going on though than us/media...

I would imagine there are players in the NFL that got a pretty good grasp on this situation with Watson.  That know his sins.  Know what has been happening. 

Things are often a surprise to us.  Not to the NFL.   We were shocked to learn about a lot of stuff that has gone down in the NFL.  Lot of it is stuff guys knew for years.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
