This is not realistic. It's something you do on Madden.

 

Cmon guys is this what we doing on a Thursday night?

I mean it sort of happened back in 2017 when the Texans traded Brock Osweiler and 2nd round pick to the Browns just to get that contract off the books.  

I don’t think the Browns are stupid enough to give up even one 1st round pick to get rid of Watson but that’d be the only way for them. 

I guess the conversation really is more because of the fact that it is not impossible due to it happening before.

Let me think about this overnight and I'll give you my answer in the morning. Please inform the press and other media I will be making my decision LIVE here tomorrow at 10am eastern time. I will give you my response but I will not be taking any questions. I repeat not taking ANY questions.  

 

Thank you.

 

Good Morning. 

 

First thanks to all the fans and all of the media that have gathered around today. Let me get right to it. After talking to my family and a lot of praying. We have decided this is stupid. Aint no way that SOB will be playing in Charlotte unless Cleveland is in town. 

 

This concludes my press conference. 

 

Have a good day and keep pounding a drum if you have one.

I can't believe any media are proposing this. Do they not understand the basics of the salary cap math?

It's just space filling content

Its a legit scenario of how the browns can get out from under his contract.  One article I read detailed how a team like the panthers could make it work. It would suck in the short term (2 years) but the amount of capital you could acquire is massive especially if we were to trade back from #1 this year.

 

No how likely a scenario like that is, well thats a totally different question but all that is being talked about here is how the browns could move on and yeah I would be down to look into it

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
