Baker should tell them to eff off, either give me a $300m contract or trade me.

Popular Post nycdan Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 The number of people outside of CLE who will have any sympathy for the CLE organization is zero. Haslam completely screwed over the franchise while thumbing his nose at the NFL about how 'smart' he was. I had no beef with CLE before this, but I'm here for the tears on this one. 18 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 So this is all based on the theory that the Browns will now void Watson's contract and eat all those draft picks they traded because there are 24 accusers instead of 22? LMAO. #news-in-2022 Given what they gave up for Watson, there is a zero percent chance they let Watson just walk. Florio was just spewing stupid speculation with zero sources to indicate that the Browns are even thinking about doing this. The reality is that nothing that has come out since the trade/signing is different than what came out before so while there may be a technicality that would allow the Browns to void the contract there is no chance they actually do that and let all those draft picks go to waste because there are now 24 accusers instead of 22. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are on the wrong trail here. The issue could be that as more issues continue to arise, it will be harder and harder to be swept under the rug the way the Brown hoped when they threw a truckload of money at him after doing essentially zero diligence. So let's assume the NFL eventually commits to a suspension of anywhere from 6 weeks to one season. But as more keeps coming out, the Browns are going to face increasing pressure to not put a man on the field as the face of the organization that carries the perception of being, shall we say, hostile to women. It doesn't really matter what the reality is, or if there are criminal charges. Watson *might* become so toxic that the Browns have to pursue the same path that the Texans did last season. The worst part for them is that if they are compelled to not play him, without the benefit of a league suspension, they are going to eat every dollar of that guaranteed money. Now Haslem and the Browns seem pretty set on playing Watson based on their actions so far. But who knows where this thing ends up. I'd say it's unlikely, but possible, that they can't play him in 2023 no matter what happens with the league. In that case, this will go down as the most screwed up signing in sports history and will effectively kill at team that was pretty loaded to compete otherwise. Certainly makes for some good drama as long as it's in another city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 5 minutes ago, Rhg1084 said: There’s rumors he could be suspended for 2 years! I'd say odds are still low on that, but just for fun, this is what the contract would look like. Browns guaranteed him $230M for 5 years. If he is suspended for '22 and '23, they will save $47M in combined salary. So they will then, effectively be paying Watson $183M for 3 years. In other words, $61M/season for a QB who will have not thrown a competitive pass in 3 seasons. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I predict the Cleveland owner will be forced to sell the team before this is all over. He can't skate from the contract.

Bronx Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Watson and the Browns are a disgrace to the NFL and the integrity of the sport. This stupid commish has the moral obligation to hand down the most swift punishment to this filthy pig. Anything less than a year suspension would be a disgrace. Objectively speaking, if you have had over 66 different women massaging you in less than 17 months, that is nothing less than a sociopathic behavior. So we are going to sit here and say that 1/3 plus of the women claiming sexual abuse are lying. You can't make this sh*t up! Do the right thing commish, and hand down the proper punishment to this sociopath, narcissistic piece of sh*t. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
