The Browns are set to give Watson a new five-year, $230 million contract, sources told Schefter. He would receive $184 million over the first four years of his new contract -- a $48 million raise over what he was scheduled to make under his current contract.

The full $230 million is guaranteed, sources said, setting a record for highest guarantee given to an NFL player.

That is BEFORE giving up the assets for the trade!

If there is one moral to this story its that supposed "insiders" and the media do not know poo!  Like, they could not have gotten this one more wrong.  Also, had we been willing to pony up this new contract he got (46 mil a year, btw) he likely would have been our new QB. 

A lot of the “insiders” weren’t actual insiders tho. I said as much in the Watson threads. I also said the entire time that the Browns or the Panthers were the only two legit options, because they were the only teams with the cap space to make it happen.

people love jumping to conclusions when the writing was on the wall the entire time.

Read a tweet that said ruining this deal is the best thing Rhule's ever done for this team.

About the only thing I paid any attention to was the Saints cap, and y’all’s some. The Saints better hit every draft pick for a long time. People will soon find out there is a salary cap. They were counting on Watson bridging that talent gap that will be created in the coming years. 
 

Whatever made it not happen….be thankful for it.

I’m absolutely ecstatic we did not sign him to that contract. He isn’t worth that. Not right now anyway.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
