That was the most BS part of the article! Cleveland?! Superbowl? That last happen in the sixties dude, 1965.

Panthers have been there twice since 2003.

These media hype jobs are really twisting some impressionable noodles.

The past doesn't really matter.

Objectively speaking, Cleveland is way closer to being a Super Bowl team then we are right now.

He's not wrong about that.

History has yet to record this "closer", odds aren't in their favor although the pundits are... hilariously.

I think they are also closer than what's left of the Falcons and also the Saints. 

It wasn't like KC, Buffalo, or the 2021 Rams were seeking his services.

After Browns acquired Watson there was negativity from a woman business owner in Cleveland.

They have been on spin control since the moment the trade happened.  It's been a constant stream on the nfl network for days.

If it's football strictly....I'm not sure I'm buying what he's selling.  If it's a better roster than the other choices left...that may be true, or may not...the Saints do have talent on their squad.

What I'm getting at is....in the AFC you have Allen, Herbert, Mahomes, Russell, Jackson, Burrow, and to a lesser extent Carr, Ryan, Tannehill, etc...

That is a brutal spate of QB's to go trophy hunting against...in the NFC...what?  An OLD Brady and an almost OLD Rodgers.

If I wanted to win big, I don't think that I'd be in the AFC...and right now you have two legendary teams who are waiting in the background as well in the Pats and Steelers.

Yes, he literally called the panthers to ask for a similar deal and they said no. 

This article states it was written from Watson's perspective. I wonder why Breer never mentioned they called the Panthers at the last minute looking for a similar deal?

It wasn't last minute.

Reports said he called about that before he eliminated us. We said no and were told we were out later that same day.

Whatever the exact timeline, it just seems odd that Breer didn't even feel the need to mention it.

Yeah like others said, this was a money decision.  With that in thought, he was smart and probably made the right decision.   The fact that they saved him from losing money for a suspension may be the next big news story and I wonder what the league office thinks of this kind of structure.   

I thought it would be fun to have Watson here but realistically we're not often at the top of destination lists but I hope this all works out in the end.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
