Colts?

Boy that would be cool and cause Drama when they play each other:thumb:

Yeah, they're in the mix too I suppose. Wonder what CLE thinks they can get for him.

I read the contract is fully guaranteed as well.

guaranteed atleast 1 first rounder,

here is his current contract

Most likely a 2nd with conditions for a 1st. Don't see anyone outright giving a 1st.

Colts can have him for less than a 1. Browns are going to dump him no matter what even if it's a 3rd.

Sign me up for that!

but that dead money hit

Yup this is the most Brown's thing ever maybe.

Yea but we are talking about Deshaun Watson.

With that much coin, he'll be able to afford rub n tugs from girls that keep their mouth shut.

With that contract (guaranteed) he can afford it if they don't...

Watch the Bucs trade for Baker ... cheap and then they have their insurance if Brady gets hurt or retires.

Man this has lol Cleveland bust written all over it. Watson hasn't played in a year. He was good but barely worth that much (minus trading 3 1sts to get it).

I feel like we never quite got to the point where the league figured Watson out to some degree, then see how he adjusts, which seems to happen to every QB phenom. Some overcome it, some don't.

Who knows what this whole scandal has done to his confidence. Maybe he doesn't come back the same player.

I bet he falls in love and like an idiot gets married with no prenup

NFL feels like a grift.

Let me be 100% honest, as much as I love PM , I would not give this much $$$ and picks for him, I would not give DW the money much less the picks with his baggage . Whatever happened to prove it deals in the NFL?

Have we seen one of those in the last 20 years?

well ya know they said he wouldn't be charged as a criminal but the door is wide open with civil charges which basically means you got money and you did it in my book and they want your money more than you going to jail

I wouldn't trade Mahomes for 3 1st round picks but he is much more proven a player than Watson.

I wouldn't give 3 1st round picks for him. 2 probably but not with that contract to go along with it.

One of the reasons trading up and giving up 2 1st round picks for a player like Mahomes is if you hit you have a very nice contract for the first 4 or so years unlike how Cleveland is doing this with 3 1st round picks and the massive deal all at once.

If Rapelithsberger got a 4 game suspension, have to think Watson is going to get at least a 6 game suspension.

Cleveland could be like 2-4 before Watson is even available to play next season.

Of course they are playing the long term game with this move and not just next season.

LMAO

Yes you would.

Just think of some of the recent epic first round draft pick disasters by the Raiders… you wouldn’t trade that for a generational QB like Mahomes?

Oh yea, Now of course PM is worth 3+ first round picks + the $$ but PM is not an idiot and does not appear to put himself in situations that could ruin his career. DW is not PM talent wise or ethics wise.. The only thing that worries me with those massive contracts is all the guaranteed money. God forbid but DW can go out on the field and have a Teddy Bridgewater injury and never play another down in football and still get 46 million per year.

104 TD’s
36 INT’s
104 career rating
Only 26

Yeah who wouldn’t want that talent

The Browns go full Brown.

Baker should go to NY and play for Daboll. Wherever he goes, he needs to thank Christ almighty that he's leaving that shitstain dumpster fire organization.

LMAO Wow, they gave him all that $$$ and the means to circumvent the imminent suspension. Of ****ing course he changed his mind to go there

Jesus that price tag.

so hope this blows up in the Browns face

Watson is a great QB that would absolutely thrive on almost any team, except the team is the browns. Damn lol

They screwed their division rival though. Bengals will have to give Joe Burrow an even stronger contract than this one.

Deshaun: **** that, not going to Cleveland.

*sees the contract*

Deshaun: Always loved that place, can’t wait to get started.

It seems like half the fan base is absolutely furious due to the allegations against him.

Guarantee that Bengals win the division again.

Only if Burrow can stay healthy which is a big if behind that offensive line which still isn’t fixed.

Found this gem on a Browns forum ROFL
https://i.imgur.com/PT9U9Rm.png

Crazy, right when they lose their recievers and draft picks they get a stud QB. Not to mention the FULLY guaranteed cap hit from hell. I do think they got a lot better regardless.

Very nice! LMAO

LMAO Edit killed me

Guy can buy a lot of massages with that kind of money.


Pay off a lot of civil suits too .

Holy shit the Browns are ****ing dumb. Just dumb. Holy shit.

yea but the asking price of those civil suits just increased 10 fold...

This is basically hitting the lottery. Some everyday Joe does it a couple times a year

Watson doesn't like playing in cold weather so good luck come December and January in Cleveland. The guaranteed money had to be the reason he picked the Browns. The fans in the dog pound will chew him up and spit him out when he shows his true colors and the Browns start piling up the losses. Cleveland will still remain the mistake by the lake!

Watson nearly train wrecks his career, then gets a sweet guaranteed pay raise.

Amazing.

Going to make some brown eyes blue

Heh

$46 mill per can cover up a lot of rapies

Lol. JW dropping the knowledge of how stupid woke ****s think. Black QBs getting screwed such BS. Watson is facing a suspension and 22 law suits but still got the biggest deal ever.

JoPo is such a baby sometimes. He will back in Browns Kingdom again if Watson starts winning.

Joe nees to shut up. The NFL doesn't have a moral compass so why should a team have one. Did he say the same about Brady loving AB? I bet he didn't.

Texans are in the AFC though, so didn’t matter if he went to the browns or stayed home, he was in the AFC regardless after he was acquitted

Joe doesn't have a moral compass, either. That shit went down with Joe Paterno and he published his damn biography of him anyway practically unchanged, probably in rather glowing terms, too. Then tried to peddle and sell it with, "Look... okay... just, he's not that bad, alright?"

Good lord. Those picks and that money.

If this goes bad for Cleveland, it’s going to be one of the most epic collapses ever.

Nice haul for a guy they were never going to play again.

Probably going to get at least 2 decent firsts out of that. #13 this year and the Browns are probably going to be trash while he serves the suspension.

Not sure if Watson will ever live down this whole sexual misconduct issue but he certainly has enough money to make those women smile.

As for the Browns, dang. I don't believe they have the team to get to the AFCCG. Compile that with them not having any first round draft picks for three years and huge chunk of their salary cap gone for five years. This will end in disappointment. Watson had way better receivers in HOU back in 2018.

Watson is a good young QB, but not that many picks and guaranteed money good. On another note who is he gonna throw the ball to in Cleveland. I know the have Njoku, but who else?

Seriously? They just signed Cooper.

It's not going to go bad. Watson is a baller.

Thanks. Won’t lie, but I don’t care enough about the Browns to follow that. Also has Cooper ever lived up to his potential?

This will be a public relations nightmare. What female Browns fan would support this serial predator?

The Browns are a shit organization.

Judging by recent trends with Brady & Prescott, I bet the Browns are going to tack on several voidable years to cheat the salary cap.

Suspension? For what? He wasn’t charged with anything and there’s no video evidence

Ben Roethlisberger was suspended 6 games for 1 accusation in 2010 that ultimately didn't end up being criminally prosecuted

Maybe. I see this going more of the way Tyreek’s did. The law didn’t charge him already and there’s no video evidence of anything.

I just don’t see it happening

A 2024 fifth round pick makes this all the more hilarious somehow.

they should go hard at him. make it a full season gooddell.

Is this like that Major League movie where the owner is trying to get the team moved out of Cleveland because the team hates them?

Maybe they can move to Oakland in the middle of the night.

Crazy that the Browns acquired a franchise QB without giving up any players and still have a lot of valuable picks for the 2022 draft.

Browns only gave up 1 pick this year and 2 next year. Cleveland will *STILL* have 5 picks in the first 118 draft picks this year, only 2 teams have more (NYJ, NYG), and they'll likely add more 2022 draft capital when they trade Baker Mayfield

That's pretty funny if you look at it like Watson being better than Wilson at this stage in each career. Watson still has upside needs solid coaching but Wilson is what he is and start to dwindle. In that cold crisp mountain air he is not going want to take hits or move around like he did in Seattle. I hope we play Denver late again at Arrowhead.

Browns actually said they wanted an “Adult “ at QB. Wow

Watson is super talented no doubt, but this just seems to have train wreck written all over it. Maybe it’s because it’s the Browns, I don’t know.

The Chiefs would laugh in your face too.

Posnanski still can’t quit his sanctimonious bullshit act apparently.

The same hypocritical fraud who wrote this sympathetic dreck…

https://img.thriftbooks.com/api/imag...aa84576fc8.jpg

All he has to do is say he is sorry and he was wrong. Everyone will forgive and forget about it. It's not like he was molesting children. I don't understand why everyone is so upset about what he did; we make laws that allow grown men to use the same restrooms as young girls. The selective outrage is difficult to understand.

I suspect they will.

But the Browns made his salary 1mm this season. So if somehow he gets suspended for 17 games, the guy only loses 1mm.

The dude has been massively rewarded for his behavior. It’s pretty incredible.
