But, honestly, when Bill O'Brien tells brady that they couldn't run a more NFL offence since Watson wasn't able to pick it up is a new revelation to most people who saw him in Houston. But, NFL DC's will figure a guy out which is one of the reasons Houston stopped winning as much the further into Watson's career they got. He couldn't improve the non physical parts of playing QB in the NFL.
I don't think there's much point thinking about cap relief. He's going to be back for the 2025 season.
Insurance came up with the A-Rod injury. There was an article that the Jets didn't insure him, which if they did since he missed 2023, they could have gotten some relief in 2024 cap as they would have been able to apply a credit from the insurance for 2023 to their 2024 cap.
They are probably better off without the cap credit so that they can blame that for their lack of success next year.
wtf i thought this was a skit at first.....
cap hit remains regardless.... But, I don't think he's going to improve coming off an achillies injury.
It's a great year for Browns fans to know the Steelers have to be bad. Fields sucks, and Wilson is washed up. Certainly, this means the Steelers will be a mess. Now, let me go check the standings, and...
And it was smartly done, too. If Watson was even a league average QB, we'd be looking at three straight seasons of meaningful playoff runs.
This was their window to do well and they blew it. Watson being the main culprit. Never returned to form and it seems he has been exposed with some of Bill O'Brien's comments about limiting the playbook for Watson.
Yea the NFL cap allows you insane ways to mortgage the future to win now. The other side of that coin is that it offers you insane ways to screw over your future self if you do the "win now" thing poorly.
Many teams push cap hits into the future. It’s accepted. But you do need to perform in those years. Dallas was scheduled to push $50 mill of Dak’s cap hits into 2025 but didn’t go beyond the final 4 of nfc over the past couple of years.
