Trade: [CLE/HOU] Deshaun Watson (signs 5 years, $230M) and 2024 5th for 2022, 2023, and 2024 1sts, 2023 3rd, 2024 4th

Right, so he should play unless he's charged with something.

The NFL never finished their own investigation.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

So is it more or less likely Watson plays this year?

You trust the NFL to investigate itself?

I would say less

I would be downright shocked if Watson isn’t forced to sit at least a season, and coupled with last season the NFL will pat itself on the back and act like it was a cumulative two year suspension.

Yeah, the NFL just finding out now about the 24th sexual allegation is a blow to Watson's camp. Also that NYT piece on how the Texans were involved in Watson's 66 massage arranges with NDA's signed off.

This is bad for the NFL, they do not need anymore bad press.

On a purely football level, you have to wonder what missing two full seasons of NFL reps does to Winston's quarterbacking ability. That's a killer.

Over $200 million guaranteed
He will be alright

Cleveland won't be. What a disaster for them.

Agreed I feel terrible for their fans.

It doesn’t matter, that’s who gets to make the decision of the court of law doesn’t do it for them.

 

[WaW]

At the end of the day this looks bad, but it could be alot worse...at least he didn't take a knee during the national anthem lol.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Deshaun Watson said he's 'never disrespected a woman,' which suggests an ugly truth of his massage encounters

The New York Times' report Tuesday indicates a disturbing pattern of how Watson views the alleged 66 women nominally hired for physical therapy.

They still have Baker Mayfield on their roster

Baker is laughing right now

 

[EpochLink]

LOL what the..

 

[Tuggy]

To use the obvious joke...

He's really tainting his legacy.

It's completely ASSinine he got the contract he did while this is going on

As a Browns fan, I am excited about this move, he has a proven track record of Elite NFL play and I look forward to him proving that again.

As for the cases at hand, I have my own opinions, but to say the least some of the claims are shaky at best. There are a lot of real questions you have to have about the claimants and their credibility. Do I think some acts happened between some of these masseuses? yes. But there is a lot more to it than that at this point, like why they continued to reach out and try to get him to book more appointments.

I think he gets 6-8 games from the NFL.

 

[Breakers]

Dumbest organization in the history of football

I’m still speechless they allowed him to structure his guaranteed money to avoid the upcoming suspension so he loses like nothing of his guarantees

It was dumb to get a franchise QB for the next 10 years? And to structure his contract in accordance with a way as to not obstruct us while he is suspended?

This wasn't a move for this season, it was a move for the next 10 years.
Keep in mind Big Ben was also suspended for misconduct at one point too, should they face consequences? Sure, should it define their career? No.

Browns continue to embarrass themselves

Not really shocking though how desperate they were

Lol good explanation. You are clearly very well spoken in your arguments

 

[Breakers]

Argument
Like spending the farm without doing even the slightest bit of due diligence and having to guarantee every single dollar and structure the money so he can accept after he already rejected you once

That is desperation
Learn to keep up
It’s not that difficult
But apparently it is for you
