To the Haslems, and the Browns organization, on behalf of all Chiefs fans, I want to thank you for signing DeShaun Watson, to an utterly ridiculous fully guaranteed contract. This brave, heroic and unprecedented act, intended of course to improve the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns, has undboubtedly instead, served to allow the Kansas City Chiefs, a free and clear path to leauge domination for the next decade.
By completely blowing apart the acceptable framework quarterback contracts had been built around, the Browns have inadvertently made the Patrick Mahomes 10 year contract, the biggest bargain in NFL history. While Kansas City will be able to build and retain a talented roster into perpetuity, other teams, the Browns included, will be trying to compete while dragging the anchors of massive, fully guaranteed, cap strapping, contracts.
Daniel Jones is asking for 45 million per year. He threw for 15 TD. Lamar wants a fully guaranteed deal that exceeds Watsons. Burrow and Herbert and standing by, waiting to see where their contracts will come in.
And more is coming.
Kansas City, having secured the services of the best QB in the league VERY long term at an ever more reasonable price, will find the resistance to titles, less and less and less.
Thank you Haslem Family, Browns Front office and also the Browns fans, without whose unwavering support, this wouldn't be happening.
