Wait till your heart broken and he wants his second contract in California where he's from.


Lol you’re delusional if you think he’s going to get signed by another team. When’s the last time a franchise QB has been signed as a free agent? Besides Brady, who for some reason the Pats were cool with letting walk, every star QB gets traded. If things go terribly south and the Bills don’t get to or win a SuperBowl before Allen’s contract is up, and he wants out. They’d just trade him for a bunch of draft assets.

3 first round picks, a 3rd round pick and a 4th round pick.   Cleveland gets Watson and a 5th round pick...   WOW.   IDIOTS

 

 

ESPN

 

The Browns and Texans are still finalizing the trade compensation, but the Texans are expected to receive three first-round picks, a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick while sending a fifth-round pick back to Cleveland along with Watson, league sources told ESPN.

The Browns are also set to give Watson a new five-year, $230 million contract, sources told Schefter. He would receive $184 million over the first four years of his new contract -- a $48 million raise over what he was scheduled to make under his current contract.

He’ll need the extra money to pay off his victims.


Due to my job im well aware of how easy it is to indict someone. It doesnt take much at all. Not to get political, but not being able to indict Watson in TEXAS of all places, on any of the charges, leads me to believe the allegations were quite overblown if not downright false.

 

If we can move past the dog killer Vick we can get past Watson saying “hey wanna see this rocket?”

Not to get political, but Texas isn't exactly known for treating women well.

So we’re all in agreement - the dildos come out at the Browns game now, right?

 

Unbelieveable. He’s obviously chosen Cleveland for the money. If the Bills pulled this, I’d boycott the team until the guy was gone and the GM/coach were fired. I have to imagine there is a contingent of Cleveland fans that feel the same way.

 

Goodell can’t be happy that Watson is one of the highest paid players in the league.

He may actually have to take that Browns stadium groundskeeping / maintenance job from his Progressive commercials.

Not for nothing but those ads are dead now, and somehow I doubt they're in much of a hurry to have Watson pick up where Mayfield left off there.

I don’t know why the Texans didn’t swap for Mayfield and a little less in picks.

 

Cleveland will need to get a willing trade partner.   Looks like NO $25.5 mil., Indy $41.5 mil., Seattle $34.4 mil.are all looking.  All could swing Baker’s owed ($18 mil.)

 

If it were me I’d shoot for Indy.  Solid team, still relatively young, and a great running game.  BM probably just a bridge guy for a couple of years, but could get any of these teams for 2022-2023.

This is the one thing I thought Baker was really good at. He is pretty funny in those ads.

Well, since Progressive may ditch it's Baker at home campaign, maybe the stadium can reinvent itself as Deshaun's Massage Envy home ads.

Don't be surprised to see some of the Browns sponsors distance themselves from the franchise.

 

There will be non-football fans pressuring companies like Progressive, First Energy, and the like to break their sponsorship deals.  It will be interesting to see how this evolves...

This is just like the move "draft day".

 

Except the Browns gave up more than just 3 1st round picks, picked up a QB that ever in their fan base apparently hates and paid him $230 million instead of riding with the guy that you had.

 

 

 

 

 

I think that's pretty close.

I don't believe Stefanski is a very good coach, even though the media builds him up. His game management is poor. I don't think this works out well for Cleveland. They are not getting much for Mayfield. Time will tell.

Still complete BS he won COTY over McD in 2020. Browns stole our shine that year.

I honestly don't think that's true.

Ball velocity numbers (MPH) from the Combine:

60 - Mahomes
59 - Webb
56 - Kizer
55 - Trubisky, Evans
53 - Peterman, Kaaya
49 - Watson

 

He’s obviously overcome this so far in his career but he’s also played at least 70% of his games in a dome or warm weather venue.  That’s gonna change in Cleveland and the AFC North.

If they get a 5th rounder for him at this point I would be shocked.  They are gonna get raked over the coals by every team that needs a QB to get rid of Baker.

I'm not sure what the MPH sweepstakes tell us, but for comparison, do you know what were Mac Jones and Burrows' numbers?  Or Herbert?

 

When I watch (say) Mac Jones throw, I'm like "wow, that ball's taking its time to get there".

I don't see that with Watson, or at least I didn't last time I saw him play.

That's what I said.  I think either you misinterpreted it or I've had enough beer already (or we both have).

 

EDIT:  Yea, I said spending 230 instead of riding with the guy you already have.

Baker has 3 strikes against him:

1) he's coming off a down year and had off-season surgery

2) he's only signed for 1 year

3) he's got a fully guaranteed cash contract for that 1 year

 

1) and 2) make him less valuable and 3) makes him harder to fit in a team's cap.

I feel like you misunderstood what I meant.  If they get a 5th rounder for him, I would be shocked because the team that traded for him overpaid.

Okay now I see it, that movie stretched suspension of disbelief portraying the Browns as competent.
