He's entering just his age 26 year season, excels as a willing blocker, is a proven asset in the red zone, and eliminates the need to address the position 9 months from now. Even if he does not find another level he's worth the price of admission and won't see the last year of his deal. If he does find another level then his contract will be re-done before or after year 3 to create more cap space and lock him up beyond his age 30 season.
I can't cite my source and this will probably get deleted because that source is someone within earshot of the Browns docs, but their medical advisors suggested surgery from the outset.
this seems to be fairly common knowledge.
Yep, this is what I was getting at before with the roll over. Year 3 will hurt no matter if he hits or not, but this contract allows the team to add more talent this year and next.
Haven't seen much of that lately. It will be nice to be able to throw an out route too
I know you're being a bit snarky, but it's true that people move on from their troubles unless they're in prison, which ain't gonna happen. What's the future look like? He will face haters (justified or not) for as long as he's a public figure, but his life and career will continue regardless. If you do something wrong and pay the price, are you expected to cease your existence? I guess that's what people would prefer, but it's not reality. Life goes on for everyone.2023 will be great!
except the fact that he will likely pay little “price” beyond sitting a few games.
Oh, my comment was definitely snarky. But it stems from the IMO very real chance of him missing next season due to being suspended.
Not sure if you heard of this because it got swept under the carpet and died a quick media death.
You are the holier than thou voice of reason. Gotcha, Dude.amnesiac said:

As always, inserting words into other people’s mouths to “prove” your point instead of trying to have a discussion.
true, but we’ve seen countless people in recent years at least pretending to be humbled by the hot water they’re in.
Give me an example. Just ONE. One example of someone with dozens of millions on the line who fits your description of humbled.
out of town for a few days.
Robert Kraft, lol.
Literally, you put words into other people's mouths.

The point was that life doesn't cease. Even if you do something crappy, like "grab 'em by the p###y", the world doesn't end for you unless the criminal justice system puts you away.
Small. I think the team picked him hoping to slip him through to the practice squad. The depth chart is thin enough that he could force their hand because AB doesn't want to risk someone else plucking him off waivers if puts up some good tape in August. He'd probably have to show he's already better than Weatherly and 31 other teams cuts though.
The only similarity between what Kraft and Watson did was the fact masseuses were involved.Soulfly3 said:

Salary cap implications if Deshaun Watson suspended for a full season
No one knew the sort of wild WR FA contracts would happen this offseason. I never know what will happen in free agency but looking forward at the numbers, PFF shows how each NFL team is positioned with the cap over the next three seasons.
Interesting. You look like you have tons of prorated money and a huge 2023 UFA valuation. The article says "The Browns are spending like no team has ever spent before, completely changing the NFL contract landscape with their five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed extension of quarterback Deshaun Watson" and that "[t]hey’re extremely talented on paper, but it’s put up or shut up time for this nucleus of players."
