The Texans are starting to look like the smart team here. It’s on the Browns to do their due diligence. Only the Browns could create a situation like that! It will never be right with Haslam in charge. I don’t know what I’d do. Find a new team? Focus on college? If I were a Browns fan, it would be a real dilemma.

I would think that if the NFL didn’t like the Texans’ supplying an NDA or the hotel membership and how that played into accusations against Watson, they could at least ask the Texans about it all.

I would guess that NDAs are pretty common when celebrities celebrities hire people so I really don't think one can make a big deal about it. I don't understand the hotel business though.

Its a huge deal if more women come forward after the contract was signed. More women could give the Browns an out. Wouldn’t put it past the Browns to encourage other women to come forward to get them out of this contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the fallout when they say “there were X number more women than were disclosed and we are opting out based upon new information.” the legal fallout alone, and this is then a basic admission they feel Watson is a Perv to a degree they can’t handle. I bet it’s sell the franchise and sorry Cleveland California needs another team. It would be an NFL soap Opera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle23 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 5 hours ago, Mango said: 3 year suspension. Just in time for his cap number to screw them over once they finally get their first round picks back. I have heard his contract is pretty iron clad against any suspensions. So I don't know why he would ever restructure. I think there is zero chance of a 3 year suspension. He'd be more likely to be banned for life than 3 years, which would essentially void the contract. He has some protections in year 1 and 2, but it was to instances solely disclosed to the club at signing. So any new instances could void it if he is suspended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 If the Browns void his contract they will have given the Texans all those picks, took all the bad press, and have no QB and no draft picks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Costa Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 What needs to be looked into is the collusion between Watson’s attorney and the Houston DA? Seems as though they worked together nicely to make this go away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't quite that simple, we don't know that the criminal investigation was specific to the same 23 cases, we know that the grand jury only had a limited number of cases in front of it, but we don't know the scope of the criminal investigation that preceded the grand jury. It isn't impossible that the 23rd or 24th case is one that law enforcement was totally unaware of, but it also isn't a given either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would be awesome to see Baker keeping holding out and Watson make it though all of training camp and after preseason game comes an indefinite suspension. Baker can’t hold out. If he did, the Browns would just void his contract. They’d love for that to be the outcome, but I can’t see Mayfield giving up $18.9M to become a free agent. I don’t see him ever playing for the Browns again, but he can’t hold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
