So he's anticipating the civil cases looking bad and getting a suspension. He better throw Case Keenum some extra cash on the side for covering his ass for multiple games

Even if there is nothing but settlements with no disclosure of anything, he got 22 cases pending. Ben got 4 games for 2 cases and Jameis got 3 games for “groping” an Uber driver. If he only get 8 games he’s lucky.

I said it was going to be the Panthers or the Browns before espn said the browns were out. I said multiple times that the saints and Falcons weren’t in a position to make the trade to which I was correct. He wanted to go to the Falcons of the Saints but they couldn’t make it happen.
 

 

 

With all due respect to what you know, the Saints and Falcons both could have made it happen.  In fact, if you look at all the restructuring the Saints were/are doing they were doing it implicitly to land Watson.

The big hurdle for the Failcons was Matt Ryan, his contract, and bonus.  All of which could have been handled with a trade (excluding the bonus payment which Atlanta could have made), and some waiving and restructuring of some of their players.

To simply say the Saints and Falcons couldn't make it happen are just not correct.

In the end though, they couldn't make that extra $230 million happen.  DW is all about that $$$ because he's got some civil suits to settle.  😂🤣😂

I am. Ecstatic. But I’m not sure we are on the same page as to why? Why do you think I’m thrilled? 

Cleveland mortgaging their future on Watson with limited offensive options and the shackles they just placed on themselves to get better in the future.

I'm sure Watson doesn't care because he gets his money regardless.  El oh el.

You are correct. Good call. I explained it earlier almost exactly how you did. I know I mess with y’all some, but I never wanted him in CAR. Was hoping he would go to NO just so people that think the salary cap is a myth would see what was/and still is about to happen. But CLE is a great surprise. They had built a good team and just needed to settle the QB position with a solid option. And stay healthy. Now their fate is tied to someone I have no faith in being able to stay out of situations that will put him back in this position again. And he’s not over this one yet. He sits half a year and an entire season of all that talent disappears. The Steelers signed Mitch Trubisky and I’m still happy. So there is that.

That’s what puzzles me, they were out and he went back to them 

Because they were the only team willing and/or able to fork over a quarter billion dollars guaranteed. We wouldn’t even guarantee the last 2 years of his last deal. Browns we’re literally all in.
