Unfortunately, doing so brings a dead cap hit of over $170 million.
I get that part. Just perma-bench him. “Your services in our building are no longer needed.” Maybe he’ll take some kind of buyout settlement?
I’m fully with you. But why would Watson take a buyout? Best case for Cleveland, the new allegations weren’t disclosed and result in suspension.
Literally because these allegations could result in the Browns being able to void the contract. “Here, DeShaun. Accept this or we’re using every legal loophole we can to get out of this deal.” :suitsfoldertoss:
I mean, if it's true, then Watson is much stranger than I thought.Uh oh…here we go again

Im sorry but this sounds made up
If the league suspends Watson for conduct, Cleveland can void the contact and get out.

This is also an escalation as it's forced rape, not just putting a masseuse's hand on his donger.
The thing that really sticks out is, it's a first date, he's mad they're late for wherever they're going, so he strips down and demands a butt massage? That doesn't make logical sense. Unless the plaintiff is just including that in the story to make it similar to the other cases?
I think no one should be deciding that this is real or that this is fake until further details come. We all love to do it, but truthfully we don't know.
It's childish humor poking fun at the wording that was used. It is not making light of either scenario
Just?
Right. That clause is the only thing they did right (probably).
I don't think the timing of this report is a coincidence
We'll see how fast this develops, but I'm expecting what you suggested to come together. I'm still worried how the locker room will react- this is a Super Bowl caliber roster that had their prime wasted. Garrett (29), Chubb (29), Ward (27 + 5 concussions), Bitonio (33), Cooper (30), Teller (30), Conklin (30), Njoku (28), Tomlinson (30). They'll rally around Jameis short term, but I suspect there's a shelf life as a reset is coming that none of these guys will want to go through.
In terms of contract probably not without some kind of litigation or settlement with him.
Admittedly, I don't know all of the gory details from the prior case, but my impression was it was just "hand stuff" that the masseuses weren't really about doing but did it out of pressure/fear. Correct me if my impression is wrong, please. My thinking this is a significant escalation over what he was previously sued over. Again, feel free to correct me if I have the facts wrong, thank you.Just?
I have no idea what the new allegations are, but forcibly making someone touch / fondle your penix isn’t a minor thing.Admittedly, I don't know all of the gory details from the prior case, but my impression was it was just "hand stuff" that the masseuses weren't really about doing but did it out of pressure/fear.

I will spoiler this for anyone who doesn't want to read the exact allegations. This is from the ESPN article.
The lawsuit states that Watson met the woman, a single mother, at a Houston restaurant and bar, managed to get her phone number and initially attempted to have her meet him at the Houston Galleria for a date. Reluctant to meet Watson in public, the woman instead agreed to a dinner date at her apartment, according to the lawsuit.
On the evening of the date, according to the lawsuit, she said Watson had trouble finding her apartment and began aggressively yelling and screaming at her on the phone, saying he didn't "have time for this."
The lawsuit alleges that, while applying makeup in her bathroom, the woman then found Watson "completely naked on her bed, lying face down on his stomach." Watson then requested the woman massage his buttocks and the woman "tried to appease Watson by rubbing his back, rather than his buttocks," according to the lawsuit.
Watson then turned over and "continued to demand that Jane Doe massage him, gesturing from his knees to his groin," according to the lawsuit. The woman told Watson that she was not a masseuse, to which Watson asked her what she wanted to do instead, the suit alleges.
Before the woman could answer, Watson "partially disrobed Jane Doe and penetrated her vagina without consent, implicit or explicit," according to the lawsuit, which also alleges that Watson sexually assaulted the woman for several minutes before she escaped and grabbed a heavy piece of decor for self-defense. Watson then "stormed out of Jane Doe's apartment," according to the lawsuit.
I grabbed this paragraph only because I read something on The Athletic yesterday that Watson is more responsible for a lot of that because of how long he holds the ball. From the article:
Cool.
Yet another way How I Met your Mother aged poorly.
Lol, this isn't getting rid of Sally in Accounting.
I agree with you, he's not going anywhere of his own free will, but do you think he's helping on the field as starter? Do you feel like he would help the team as a backup? Do you feel like he's prepared to play in the NFL, or that he even cares anymore? If you answer yes to any of these then keep him on the active roster, and by all means. If you answer no to all of them, you have two realistic choices. Cut his dumb *** and let him sail off into the sunset with his blood money, or keep him around, pay him and make his life miserable. Personally, I'm an ******* so he'd be rotting on the practice squad playing the part of all the running QBs in the league. He would of course be wearing a contact jersey.
Gather round folks…let’s put our tinfoil hats on…but WHAT IF the PI’s for the browns found a woman that previously had relations with Watson and put her up to claiming their date night was anything but consensual?! Like this new report.
They were linked above. Essentially the claim is, it was their first date, she was running late and he yelled at her on the phone. He came up to her place to wait, while she was in the bathroom finishing getting ready he stripped naked and laid face down on her bed. She walked out of the bathroom and he demanded a butt massage. She complied, then he pounced on her and forcibly raped her.I have no idea what the new allegations are, but forcibly making someone touch / fondle your penix isn’t a minor thing.Admittedly, I don't know all of the gory details from the prior case, but my impression was it was just "hand stuff" that the masseuses weren't really about doing but did it out of pressure/fear.

My brain considered this possibility also.
You accidentally used the word "No" at the beginning of your sentence.
Where's the fun in making predictive comments if we can't have them thrown in our face later when we're tragically wrong?
Oh. I was just generalizing in response to your comment. I didn't dig it up. Although, I am looking forward to quoting a few more of Baker Mayfield's biggest fans.
They weren’t going anywhere per the article, it was a dinner date at her apartment and she was late being ready when he showed up.I mean, if it's true, then Watson is much stranger than I thought.Uh oh…here we go again
