Captain Hindsight Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The contract was guaranteed for the cases he documented with him. As a result of how it was processed and investigated a lot more cases which are not covered by his contract are being revealed. He also probably lied to them which in most employer contracts is reason for termination. Well now I don’t know if to give the browns credit for putting that in or being dumb enough to think there wouldn’t be more cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago my wife said I should probably cut back on my red meat consumption. My wife scares me so I did, and now only have maybe 2 a month, which I thought was still a lot (I like a BIG steak). Over 17 months that equates to 34 steaks. So Watson had THIRTY TWO MORE different therapists than I had steaks. This tells me either Watson is just clear cut ADDICTED to this behavior or my wife was talking crap. Maybe both are true My guess is that as the cases continue to mount and public opinion continues to rage against Watson and the Browns for having traded for him and signed him to such a lucrative contract -- the spin will definitely be that he is an "addict". At a minimum, I would think that the Browns (WITHOUT being forced to by the NFL) would want to put Watson on a leave of absence to get these legal issues squared away -- and then hope that things settle down by 2023. It will be interesting to see if the Browns truly have an "out" here. I would think that some clever attorneys would be able to identify language in the contract that gets the Browns off the hook -- essentially a "termination for cause" type of thing. It would also be interesting to discover whether the Browns jumped the gun on the trade and contract without due diligence in further investigating -- or if they actually did investigations and were willing to go through with the trade knowing to some extent what else would eventually come out. The former is stupidity, and the latter is disgraceful. In some ways it reminds me of what the Ravens did with Ray Rice -- they were willing to go to bat for him KNOWING fully well that he had physically abused his girlfriend. It wasn't until the video was released that the outcry was so great that they had no choice but to cut ties with him. The video did not provide any new information -- just a visual of what everyone knew had transpired. In Watson's case, there may not be video evidence -- but the detailed affidavits of the various victims spells out the horrific things that Watson has been accused of -- which should make it increasingly difficult for the Browns to have any thought of entering the season with him as their QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the guy that Miami chased for almost three years. No wonder they didn't bat an eyelash at Tyreek Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that actually screwed Watson more because he made settlement offers that got out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Is there any mechanism for the Browns to get their draft picks back or get out of this contract? I would hope not, because they knew exactly what they were doing, down to the detail of structuring the deal so that it wouldn't end up costing Watson much of anything if he missed an entire year. Hard to argue that they were "taken aback" by all this. I would hope Lamar Jackson is saying to the Ravens that he'll take the Watson deal plus 10%. The idea that Watson, of all people, got such an outrageously large totally guaranteed contract is sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest post by Happy Days is exactly why he should stay away from microphones at all costs. Don't get me wrong ... I think he's a sexual predator and would LOVE to see him bury himself. I'm just shocked that someone told him to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
