Even if he is suspended the whole season, he’ll still get pretty much all of that $230mil guaranteed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH how freaking sweet would that be, im salivating 33 minutes ago, Utah John said: IIRC the money for Watson is fully guaranteed. If he's not allowed to play at all (i.e., in prison) does he still get the cash? Im pretty sure the legal side of this is strictly civil at this point, unless a new accuser comes forward 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I would love to see them put him on the commissioner’s list for this year. Can’t play, but Cleveland has to pay him and then one the proceedings are done next year - suspend him for a full year at no pay. Then if more complaints surface - add to the suspension. He makes his 1 million base for the year and loses out on the real money. Scummy player and scummy team - both deserve bad things. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern_Bills Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Considering how they did Zeke and a few others I'm not sure how they have any option but to suspend him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of collecting $18 million & getting a chance to get a big next contract with another team if he lights it up while Watson is suspended, he's whining and asking for a trade to a team where he has to learn a whole new offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for him to change his tune. I don't blame him for trying to force his way out, but clearly that times passed, no chance to catch on somewhere like Indy anymore. He'd be smart to go back to repeating cliche NFL speak, come out looking sharp/healthy, and hope for an in season trade or FA next year, showing he's valuable. Let's see if he's smart enough to look ahead here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 2 hours ago, H2o said: I mean, they gave him a fully guaranteed contract so he's getting all of the $$$. Yes, the $1.35M is what's on the books, but he's also getting like a $45M signing bonus. right so he’s getting a full paycheck this year even if suspended. Only 1m at risk for him.

No. It’s exactly how it would be structured for salary cap purposes if there were no threat of suspension. For example, Von Miller’s 6 year, $120M contract pays him the vet minimum salary of $1.1M this season.

TheBrownBear Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 What I don't get is how a team is willing to make such a huge investment on a guy who has (allegedly) proven to be a serial sexual predator. This isn't a single incident of he said/she said. These types of tigers don't usually change their stripes. This is a sick dude who is likely to repeat the behavior. How can you place your trust in this guy, let alone have him serve as the face of your franchise? Mindboggling to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putin Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If we didn’t have Josh Allen I bet the same people who call Deshaun Watson all kinds of names ( and deservedly so ) would be pounding the table for McBean to go get him, I can only imagine what this place 😆would be like !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 5 hours ago, 78thealltimegreat said: ESPN and CBS just reported apparently the NFL is ramping up their investigation for their first sit down interview with him over his allegations. Wonder if the league will actually let the rest of the legal process play out or they’ll just pass their own judgement and be done with it like Zeke Elliot. I don't believe he has any criminal charges pending, so why would they wait for civil cases to dispo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
