The 2nd half of last year he did. He greatly improved his blocking. Overpaid for now, but the dude is barely 25 with 5 years in the league.

Josh Allen's contract had him at $990,000 in base salary in 2021. Mahomes' contract had him at $825,000 in 2021, and it will be at $990,000 in 2022.

I am not sure they can do that. We'd have to look into the CBA, but I highly doubt players can be fined directly for off the field problems. On the field, sure, but I don't think they can be fined for anything off the field.

The thing is though, this isn't true. They did the exact same thing will all of their big contracts recently. Garrett, Ward, Chubb, restructured Cooper. It looks bad, but you can't ignore that they did it with everyone, not just Watson.

Where does that end though? Watson probably will be suspended, but a grand jury elected not to pursue charges. These are purely civil cases at this point. Literally anyone can file civil suits for almost any reason because the burden of proof is MUCH lower. So how can you suspend someone indefinitely for something they weren't charged for, and in which the civil trials aren't even set up yet? I've been saying the entire time that if he was criminally guilty he should be out of the league and from everything I've seen it's likely hes going to get suspended at least some either way.

I'm telling you, the texts released were from the same woman as described. There could be others that they haven't released, who knows. But what is listed and what is described via the testimony is about the same woman. I've said before, I didn't want to trade for Watson. Huge gamble obviously, They did, and as fans we live with it. Also, quit comparing Bauer and Watson. If Watson is guilty, he deserves whatever punishment he gets, but Bauer allegedly violently assaulted/choked/sodomized a woman. Both are crimes, but they aren't the same crime. The Bauer case also has photo and text evidence, though the texts I saw were really confusing.

It was the same woman.

They've actually done that with all of the big contracts (Garrett, Chubb, Ward) recently, not just Watson. To be fair, they've done the exact same with Ward, Chubb, Garrett, etc. as well.

The main difference there is Osweiler had 3 years, and I believe like $28m guaranteed left on his contract. Mayfield has 1 year. I could honestly see Cleveland keeping him at this point with no intention on playing him at all. He would likely get signed as a starter next offseason for some QB desperate team, and given that Cleveland's front office is heavily analytics/draft pick driven, you take your comp pick and go. Especially if cutting him only saves vet minimum when someone else signs him.

Hue Jackson did nothing but blame everyone else for his problems, and the "incentivizing losses" comment was just another chance to try to clear his name. I honestly think that the Browns plan then was to stockpile draft capital and salary cap in a complete and total rebuild, and losing naturally comes with that most of the time. But I don't think the plan was to lose as many games as possible.

The issue is if you do go all in and don't win, and then you still have a bad year after that. The "all in" strategy works occasionally, but it also falls on its face a whole lot more than not. Basically like anything else, it needs to be "all in" within reason.

Probably because Andrews is their #1 passing option. Dude had 1361 yards last year. They definitely need WR help, but with their run game, it greatly reduces the need for top flight WRs. The main thing is keeping Jackson healthy, which is tricky given his size and running. I hate the Ravens, but they draft well and to their team identity.

I mean, not saying he's a HoF player. But people on here were talking about taking a punter in the 4th. Kickers are WAY more important.

Yeah, best kicker by far for a team with the worst kicker by far. And Winfrey earlier. Just terrible......

This is an honest question. Does he have that power? Because roster decision making is written into contracts.

If the dude never plays, no one is giving up 2 1sts for him.

Right, Elam is tall for a corner. That doesn't make McDuffie small. I don't understand people trying to trash another player just because someone else drafted him. McDuffie played outside his entire college career, but suddenly he is a slot only corner. He played 12 snaps at slot last year, while 593 on the outside. Who knows if Buffalo would have drafted him, but he was generally regarded as a better prospect than Elam. Who has the better career has a million other factors involved.

He's literally 1 pound lighter than the Bills pick. And 5'11 for a corner isn't tiny.

I think they just didn't swap 25 to Baltimore in that shot.

I feel like Walker will be a bust. Dude was a mid to late first rounder who had a good combine. Suddenly he's the first pick in the draft.

Also, when Jim Brown played, he was 220 and the lineman were 240s, so it wouldn't be farfetched at all. Defense I'm going Myles Garrett.

A lot of people just plain don't pay attention. Running late or in a car they don't normally drive and just forget.

Well, the teams sign the contact too, and they can cut the player at any time, so that one goes both ways.

His only issue is he tends to miss a few games a year with injuries. He is a bit leaner than you'd like, but his play on the field is near the top of the league.

The dude talked out both sides of his mouth the entire time in Cleveland. Never took blame for anything. Said he was offered money to tank, then backtracked when he realized he could get in major trouble for it. "Pulled rank" as the head coach over stupid stuff. Also, if they did tank, which I think is somewhat true depending on your definition, they ended up with Garrett, Ward, Mayfield (not worth the 1st pick obviously), Chubb, with Ward and Chubb being from acquired picks, and Chubb being the free pick from the Osweiler trade.
