Bold Prediction. Deshaun Watson gets suspended for a year.  

Baker Mayfield ends up being a Panther. 

Cam Newton ends up in Cleveland.

That is bold.

I like it.

But keep in mind that Jacoby Brissett was signed for this reason specifically. If Cam doesn't get signed by them soon, I don't think they would go down that road unless Brissett gets injured.

I totally forgot about Jacoby. This is going to get ugly for Deshaun and Cleveland. Baker is out of there... and it seems like we're really trying to pounce on that situation.

Based on Cam's media lately... We're unlikely to bring him back. But even with Brissett, Clevelands QB room needs to be bolstered.

That would be another episode of Cam reflecting on being in a fugged up situation. 
 

Who cares anyway……we have Queen City News as our new flagship station!!!! I’m still on a high from that news yesterday.

I can’t believe that news! I woke up so hungover today from it I thought it was a dream…

I think there is logic in all of this and proves bold doesn't have to be far fetched. 

I agree with Deshaun suspension.  It is inevitable.

If Cleveland gets a bit more desperate, I can see this happening.

I think Cam ends up in Houston or Seattle.

I am not sure about the Watson situation. I suspect the punishment will either be too harsh or not harsh enough. The NFL rarely metes out fair punishment. 

I think the Browns are looking at this long term so I doubt their concern level is high. The fact they signed Jacoby tells me they knew him being suspended for 2022 was a possibility. It's not terrible for them, he wouldn't get paid any salary.

assuming "he" is Watson:   thought the bulk was fully guaranteed, aside from the 2022 per-game number?  Folks suggesting the Browns are going to be on the hook for $230m regardless, due to how the contract was structured.

I think they can technically get out of his 2022 salary. Depends on how it was written. They also have the option to legally pursue the money back from him but that seems very doubtful unless they want a disgruntled QB....again.

There's talk that Major League Baseball putting a guy on a two year suspension even without criminal charges might affect how the NFL treats Watson. Some believe the league might not want to look "soft" on sexual misconduct issues.

Don't know if anything comes of it but it kinda makes sense, especially given the new allegations and the New York Times story.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
