Between the way Cam was let go, Rhule’s hiring + contract, Darnold, the Rockhill mess, and Watson Tepper has been chasing every bullet he can find.

I feel like in some areas at least, the guys in charge have made solid decisions.  Not spectular, but solid. 

But when it comes to quarterback, our decisions have gotten progressively worse.  Signing Bridgewater and releasing Cam, trading for Darnold, and then trying to trade for Watson and all of his legal issues.  I am so glad that we were accidentally saved from making what would have been one of the worst decisions in franchise history.

Settlement = guilty

Talk about an expensive old fashioned 

Plaintiffs attorney shouting from the rooftops while Watson's attorney "declined comment" doesn't exactly paint a picture of victory for Watson's side.

Watson swore he'd fight till the end. Guess not.

After a while, people in these situations always end up just wanting it to go away.

Wonder if that report/rumor of the initial offer of 100k per turning into a million per case actually turned out to be true. I cant imagine that ever becoming public. 

Buzbee taking a victory lap right now with that presser. 

How many women filed police reports? Any chance they're the last 4? I don't remember off the top of my head. 

Browns were expecting this. It's why they restructured this year's salary to reduce the amount of money he'd lose on a suspension down to nickels and dimes. 

Hope they rightfully get dragged for that once the suspension comes to a head.

Sometimes.  Sometimes the company I work for "settles" because it's the cheapest most efficient way to move on from the issue at hand.  Do you want to spend more money/time in court to just pay out and move on.  I wouldn't say the "settle" parts makes him guilty as much as the 24 different women with similar stories does.

It was actually up to 26 as far as lawsuits (some may still be in process) with reports of more possibly on the way.

There were also two women who filed criminal charges but not lawsuits and I think three others who told their stories without doing either.

All that plus the New York Times story with reports of up to 66 different massage therapists and...yeah 😕

Settlement or not, I'd say the general public consensus (among non Browns fans at least) is that he's guilty.

I hope the last 4 drag it out for the guy and cash out a hell of a lot more than 1 mil they were reporting after his new contract, he deserves it. 

Those 4 definitely have extra leverage now and will extract more 💰💴👊.

The other problem faces is how many of the other 40+ who haven't stepped up so far might now think "hmm he whipped it out on me too, think I'll get in line to collect my fair share" 🧐...

...this is still a long way from being over.  

Remember when everyone thought it was completely inappropriate for Jerry Richardson to be allowed to "hide" behind NDA's... 😉🤣

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
