Doc Brown Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 14 hours ago, BarleyNY said: You are correct. Here’s a link to Spotrac. People thinking that the Browns did anything out of the ordinary with Watson’s contract should take 1 or 2 minutes to educate themselves. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/quarterback/ I agree with this but from a PR standpoint it still doesn't look good. His base salary this year is a little over 1 million and then 46 million the next four years. Browns had the cap space to make his base salary at least 15 million this year. It just shows how desperate the Browns were for a franchise QB. His contract is significant in that guaranteeing that much money over multi years is unprecedented. Kirk Cousins contracts were fully guaranteed but they weren't as long or as expensive as Watson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 This case is a big one for the NFL to get right. Professional Sports leagues will be using this decision forever when it comes to sexual misconduct. They have a lot more information than we do. But I can’t see any way that they allow Watson to play before this is settled. And then he will get suspended if appropriate. What if the NFL let’s Watson play or suspends him for a few games and he goes and starts doing this again or rapes a masseuse. A hyperbolic scenario I know. But this guy doesn’t think he has done anything wrong. He’s going to continue his actions. Get ready Cleveland ladies Deshaun’s “ coming to town”.

Kirk Cousins contracts were fully guaranteed but they weren't as long or as expensive as Watson's. I agree on the optics, they are bad. And I agree that Cleveland was very desperate for a FQB. Thus, the traded picks (including 3 first rounders!) and guaranteed $230M contract as well as having to deal with this PR disaster. But many people are looking beyond what’s there and making stuff up to be enraged about - and there’s certainly enough legitimate stuff to complain about.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Hopefully hes suspended for 2022. And then when he makes his return in 2023 - that he just gets a rain of boo's at every away game. Also, I hope he sucks.

Freddie's Dead Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Anybody on the fence about this POS should watch HBO Real Sports this month. Dude basically rubbed his junk all over his massage therapists, then threatened their businesses if they told. His defense team made a big deal over some of the accusers maintaining contact with POS after he assaulted them, conveniently ignoring the threats their client made. Dude is excrement. The people on the Grand Juries that failed to indict should have their heads examined. Who knows? Maybe the DA mailed it in. This POS should burn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I disagree that he should not play, but exactly how many games has he played since these allegations came out last summer? To my knowledge - he played 0 games last year and the NFL has not decided what to do this year. There is no reason to rush it. The NFL does not want another Ray Rice - where they act and then some bomb shell comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked him how he feels about getting Deshaun and he said "I don't know how to cheer for someone like that" Was glad to hear that. Each jerk on that message board would feel a lot different if it was their daughter. Edited May 28, 2022 by thenorthremembers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She brings this case seeking minimum compensation, but to obtain a court finding that Watson’s conduct was wrong.” Well, that ain't a good look for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Face of your franchise: "In this case, the lawsuit filed Tuesday states the woman had three encounters with Watson in Houston that got progressively worse. During the third encounter in the summer of 2020, the lawsuit states Watson exposed himself to her, touched the woman between her legs and repeatedly requested that the woman have sex with him. After first deciding not to file a lawsuit against Watson, the woman changed her mind after watching a segment about the lawsuits last week on HBO’s "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel." “But it was Watson himself claiming that even now he has 'no regrets’ and has done nothing wrong that solidified her resolve. She brings this case seeking minimum compensation, but to obtain a court finding that Watson’s conduct was wrong.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to wonder if this continues to play out and he gets shelved for the entire 2022 season, but eventually gets reinstated in 2023 what is his on field value even going to be? Even if he is the player he was in 2020, it’s a horrible situation if he’s done all of these things. But, you have to wonder if he’s even going to be an elite QB on the field after such a long hiatus.
