The base value of his contract in 2022 was written up as $1M in case he was suspended. About 60k per game. Brilliant.teams don’t have to pay game checks during suspension, correct?
I’d imagine they have to be able to fit the whole contract under the salary cap, but do they get to carry those amounts forward to the next year?
Watson didn’t utilize his TE’s much in Houston. Every once in a while one would blow up for a big game and then he’d ignore them the rest of the season. Granted none of them had Njoku’s pedigree.Send offers for Njoku asap imo.

They weren’t trying that hardRobert Woods to Tennessee for a 6th. Browns were trying to get him
Priority is Clowney. He's a perfect fit, knows system/defense and 'played well/was productive'. The defense does things when he's in that can't be done by others. He's 'scary-good' setting the edge AND can deliver consistent pass rush.Browns freed up 15 million ... looking to bring in Clowney and... Landry
...I'd probably prefer to spend on the WRs. Fuller>Landry>Clowney would be the order that would make most sense to me.
Matt Miller@nfldraftscoutThere's a lot to unpack but one thing that Watson brings is elite franchise QB talent.

Very good point.

The BUF/KC playoff game was a turning point moment in the NFL. The quality of QB play was off the charts and it had to hit home with every HC/GM/Owner. Is my QB good enough to compete with that???
Clowney's MO it to painfully wait till the last second to sign.With Watson and Brissett signings now officially announced, will we see any other FA news coming in? Still looking for that DE, DT, and WR. Wouldn't mind Clownery, Fuller and Landry.
Gotta get rid of the 18 million dollar black cloud first.With Watson and Brissett signings now officially announced, will we see any other FA news coming in? Still looking for that DE, DT, and WR. Wouldn't mind Clownery, Fuller and Landry.
Plenty of space available to use while he's still on the roster, they probably intend to just roll his cap # over to 23.Gotta get rid of the 18 million dollar black cloud first.
Despite what people keep saying, the salary cap IS a real thing
Yes they can still sign guys, but lets say they cant get rid of any of his 18 million, that would present a big problem moving forward and keep us from being able to sign 1 or 2 impact guysPlenty of space available to use while he's still on the roster, they probably intend to just roll his cap # over to 23.
I'll be very surprised if a Talib becomes necessary and shocked if we have to go Osweiler. I don't know when he gets moved and call me naive, but I'm not too worried about it.Yes they can still sign guys, but lets say they cant get rid of any of his 18 million, that would present a big problem moving forward and keep us from being able to sign 1 or 2 impact guys
Fortunately Andre Berry isnt impulsive/emotional/irrational/impatient like Browns fans.I'll be very surprised if a Talib becomes necessary and shocked if we have to go Osweiler. I don't know when he gets moved and call me naive, but I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks, I figured there was a reason why we would benefit if he held out.If he holds out we can roll his cap numbers to 2023.
Unfortunately, it would be in Bakers best interest if we just cut him so then he can go sign a new deal while making his 18 million this year (while his new deal would save us basically none of that).
So, expect baker to be a tool until he is gone
He over-valued his market. How many teams has he already turned off? He has few left with the need and who 'might' be willing to take him on but they are evaluating if he is a problem.Do you actually think Baker will be a good soldier here?? Cmon. Seriously Bracie. You cant possibly think that's what he will do
The Browns want an "adult" at the QB position. There's no coming back from that report. The Browns might hold onto Baker hoping that they can trade him after the draft or if another QB gets hurt, but I doubt he plays for the Browns again even if Watson is suspended for a whole year.Do you actually think Baker will be a good soldier here?? Cmon. Seriously Bracie. You cant possibly think that's what he will do

Well the internet experts had it right.Browns just signed career backup Josh Dobbs to their roster bringing the number of qbs they have in early April up to five. They do know that they are allowed to sign udfa and don't need to pick up every possible veteran third stringer for when they eventually get rid of Mayfield right?
Who was that QB that the Steelers and Ravens kept alternating roster spots on several years ago? It was hilarious - one team would cut him, and the other would pick him up. It went on for like 3 years.They knew that a team in the AFCN would “pounce” on a division rival’s former QB.
I'm surprised Harrison was interested, but I guess his market was cold.Free-agent safety Ronnie Harrison is signing back with the Browns on a one-year deal, per his agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @RyanMatha.
