Not only are they guaranteeing him Mahomes/Allen type of money (and still think he's not close to being in the same class), they are basically saying they don't give a ***** about the allegations or any pending suspensions. Also remember this is a guy that signed a guaranteed contract already with another team and decided he didn't want to play for them anymore (likely because of said allegations and because that team was entering a full blown rebuilding mode). Funny too how Watson magically changed his mind about going to Cleveland once the contract became 'guaranteed' because obviously other teams were smart of enough to want contingencies. Either way karma has a way of sorting itself out and don't be surprised if he tears an ACL especially after not playing football in so long by the time he sees the field again. AND, there are probably guys on his new team that don't even want to play with him. AND you have legions of fans who will never root for him. I am trying really hard to respect due process of law as far as the allegations go, but holy hell, I don't know how you sign a guy for even the league minimum when these kinds of accusations are hanging over his head. There is at least a legitimate chance he is a full-blown compulsive predator. Why bet the whole team on it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND you have legions of fans who will never root for him. I could be wrong, but I have the impression that the football locker room is a place where what happens outside of it matters less than you might think, and guys try to take each other how them find them in the locker room and on the field. In the Rich Eisen clip above, he enthuses about what a nice humble self-effacing guy Watson is. Jordan Palmer enthuses that his film study and mental preparation habits are "off the charts". If that's the guy the teammates see, why wouldn't they want to play with him? The fact is, he could be all of those things on the field and in the locker room, AND still possibly be a compulsive predator to women. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is only get $1M salary first year so he will lose less money if suspended at start of season. Browns are abetting his non-crimes. I wonder if he does it again will they be able to cancel their guarantees. They should hire Urban Meyer as a consultant since he knows Ohio (and target) so well.

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Female Browns fans don’t like this right now, but eventually he will rub off on them. (I just thought of this all by myself and I am proud of me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Browns are saying they knew about this before the trade but I don’t believe them. It’s not a “new” complaint but I doubt they move forward if there is still a possibility that he could go to jail.

TheFunPolice Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Just gross... I'm shocked that he hasn't settled the civil suits just to make it go away. Of course, he has $230 million guaranteed so why bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
