Haslam is the dumbest owner for sure (and that's saying something in this league), but if Watson was not a moldering previous flash in the pan when they gave him that contract (let's say he was Josh Allen they were signing), the full guarantee would not have been so shocking.
Exactly, so the Watson contract had no impact on future QB contracts (far better QBs have been re-signed for far more--none of them fully guaranteed though).
Barkley signed a fair contract with the Eagles before last season. He didn't ask for, but got a lot more, after the season. That's dumb.
Browns "obliterated the market"? Garrett's guarantee at signing is #4 for current D-lineman contracts. His total contract value is #2 (Nick Bosa is #1 in both categories). He is #1 in average annual--only 4.5 million ahead of Bosa. No team would have offered him less than Nick Bosa....
