Well, he sucks and is never going to perform.
if hes this putrid, its only a matter of time til players start to ask to be traded. playing on a team that has no hope of playoffs for this long generally kills morale in the dressing room.
believe it or not, this exact scenario is within the realm of possible outcomes.
another scenario, which again, is unlikely, is that DTR, or some other rookie QB you acquire in the draft who is dirt cheap comes in and can actually play.
Go to 2025 and filter by trade pre June 1. This suggestion doesn't create cap space.
Keep starting Watson and we may be picking #1
We won't have a winning season in 5 years regardless of what we do. It's the Browns and they are incapable of sustained success. Trading everyone at this point would be more of a gift to some of the guys who have road this out, Garrett mostly comes to mind. Trade him to a winner while he still has gas left in the tank and a shot at glory. It's never going to happen in CLE for him. As for the rest? I don't much care at this point but trading everyone isn't a particularly viable option. Totally a Browns thing to do though.
Can we even afford to sign the #1 pick??
We can't afford parking in the Muni lot for the next two years
They don't want to admit they made the worst deal in the history of professional sports while also selling their soul to do it.
Yes, signings are much different than keep vs cut those currently under contract. The reason we have so much cap space now and are projected for so little the next 2 years is almost everyone on the roster has veteran minimum base salaries with the remainder filled with bonuses that hit future years cap. There are only 3 on this year's roster with base salaries > minimum- Conklin, Newsome, and Moore- and that's probably because they will not be back next year.

Pretty sure it's been in the parking garage for a few weeks now.
He’ll put up big numbers in Buffalo. He should have had the long TD a couple of weeks ago that was called back by the BS holding. It was the best pass Watson made all year.
I don’t know about big, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if he’s very productive in Buffalo.
That was after the 3rd game.
Let me some up my feelings on this topic as succinctly as I can...meh.
politics is mostly performative.
If I was a betting man...
Entire city thought the season was over when the Yankees pulled ahead.
As life long Cleveland fans, this doesn't happen to us, ever. LeBron being the exception. Incredible moment for the team and the city. The text chain I have with all my HS buds was going crazy.
I would like to see some honest proof of all this
If it bleeds, it leads. There isn't money in talking pragmatic, only hot takes. And the Deshaun hate fuels eye balls.I would like to see some honest proof of all this
If true, then why has the media not talked about this angle more and ease up on some of the dawg piling going on?
I'm not sure what relief you get from a fully guaranteed contract that changed the landscape of how Quarterbacks get paid
What role or where did the Browns get duped on exactly?
The fans are victims for sure but where is Jimmy Haslam the victim?
Why would the browns get any relief due to a QB achilles tear, what makes them dfferent from other teams?
-I'm also not real happy about this proposed new stadium away from Cleveland, didn't that city already suffer enough from the Baltimore Browns leaving town to the expansion team that has never been right since they first were awarded. They should never have named them the Browns, should have been a whole different mascot because it's a different team
I'm getting ready to hit the podium on them soon, don't try and stop me
Fair about the Stadium but all it tells me is what Jimmy Haslam is out, I don't think that has any impact on the salary cap and if it does then there needs to be a unified way of doing thatIf it bleeds, it leads.

No doubt in my mind the Browns have insurance on this contract and that it contributed to them continuing to play him.

Burrow, Tua, and I keep going but you can't have a salary cap insurance policy for 1 team and it not be done for others
Do you understand my angle here? I don't care what Haslam is paying out or what Watson gets in his actual wallet, the contract was set up and applied to the salary cap, I don't think an insurance company can inject $50M into the salary cap for an injured player but maybe I'm wrong
It seems like it would fall under some code/Rule where it's not a level playing field for everyone
I did I did I did and it's all about insurance, it doesn't say anything about salary capRead the linksFair about the Stadium but all it tells me is what Jimmy Haslam is out, I don't think that has any impact on the salary cap and if it does then there needs to be a unified way of doing thatIf it bleeds, it leads.

If you ask most Bucs and Phins fans, I really don't care about salary cap but what you're suggesting has a lot of other questions that would need to be answered
And I don't understand why it makes you feel righteous for some reason...there still doesn't seem to be a lot of proof vs salary cap
And you didn't read what I wrote because I don't care what Haslam is out as an owner, that contract was set to follow the salary cap rules
Those things can shuffeled around, I understand
Bottom Line, $50M, $15M, it's not helping you all sign players right now and I really don't understand why you are digging in on this and acting like Watson's injury is no big deal
It's a major deal for a team that signed him to almost $250M guaranteed and SQUA-DOOSH to show for it
