Honestly I’m fine with not getting him. I’m more upset with how he allowed it to play out. Also annoyed at the fact that the cap isn’t real and either ATL or NO getting him proves it. We need to do something along similar lines to field a better team and rub this bs right back in those dickheads faces.

He is going to be straight up horrendous in ATL. They are gonna trade the farm for him and eat every penny of Ryans salary….and have zip to rebuild their team. What an absolute disaster.

No doubt DW is great but man….that team is gonna be razor thin.


Rhule will still lose to him.

With what money will both teams not be in cap hell this year or soon? Saints may have a better roster but they don't have the coach that put it all together. All has been a mess for years and don't have many good players and giving away picks too. Even though Carmichael called the plays for the Saints, the coach is what drove that team. They'll be good but when will their cap problems come to life?

I told all of you that as soon as Watson’s camp reached out to Atlanta it was over. He heard all the pitches from the Panthers, Saints, and Browns, and was not impressed. If I had to guess, they didn’t offer enough of a plan to rebuild his image. Deshaun is vain and narcissistic. The scandal has deeply embarrassed him, mainly because it’s true. It’s just an extremely tough thing to prosecute in a man’s world. The optics are going to suck no matter where he goes and Atlanta offers him the best chance to redeem himself. Panthers were never a serious contender and only a backup plan. 

Good luck to ATL with that if he’s really that in the weeds about his image. Hard to throw deep balls with that much angst.

What's worth noting is how many of us were willing to jeopardize our sense of morality to support that dude if we did land him. Let's be real. 

Let’s be real. If anyone voted for the two candidates in this past election then you voted for a sexual predator. This is entertainment. There is a difference. Some people straight up don’t care either way. Some leave their morality for real life.

      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.
