    You have to wonder then, if just maybe the other (it was at least three teams) were willing to match, or come mighty close the the final $230 million he got from the Browns. The possibility sure could be Watson viewed the Browns as the most "playoff ready" ready team with offers on the table.  I'd lose respect for him if the only reason he picked the Browns was grubbing over an extra $10 million or so.  

    I bet it was exactly why Watson chose Cleveland.
    The Saints, NO, and Atlanta all had serious cap space issues.
    $35 million
     
    The Saints are in a position to acquire Watson and absorb nearly his entire base salary of $35 million for 2022, per ESPN. The Saints met with Watson earlier in the week in hopes of convincing the three-time Pro-Bowler to waive his no-trade clause.

    Another case (from the link) yahoo sports......

     

    How a baseball ruling could affect Deshaun Watson

    By Jay Busbee, Yahoo Sports..... Tuesday May 3.....

    Two players at the top of their respective professions. Two players in their respective sports' marquee positions. Two players accused of heinous crimes against women. Two players not charged criminally for their actions.

    Now, one player has been suspended for two years. The other just joined a new team on a landmark contract.

    The cases of pitcher Trevor Bauer and quarterback Deshaun Watson aren't precisely comparable, legally speaking. But as our Charles Robinson notes in his latest column, the two cases share a significant place in the cultural spotlight. The court of public opinion often looks past legal judgments in rendering its own verdict, and in that way, the two cases could end up connected for some time to come. 

    Bauer was accused of violent behavior by several women; a five-month police investigation resulted in no charges against him. However, Major League Baseball conducted its own investigation, and levied the two-year suspension against the former Cy Young Award winner. .......continued........

    A two year suspension sounds about right for one playing a gentleman's game.

    This is football, so Watson will get a month.. Although, I'd like to see the pervert get 2 years.

    I look at Roe v Wade kind of like I look at the 1st and 2nd..  Freedom of choice.

    It's really the freedom to terminate.

    The word Choice is used to avoid using the word "abortion". It masks and desensitizes the brutality of an abortion.

    Libs are good at that, as in "undocumented citizens" rather than what they really are... illegal aliens.

    Little to do with choice. If it were a choice then we all are choices. I'd hate to think that I was a choice. I know damn well my kids were not choices, nor was my daughters 5 month old baby.

    In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, Mr. Douglas defended the right to choose. Abraham Lincoln’s reply, which still applies today, was that “No one has the right to choose what is wrong.”

    i dont have a problem with it Just with any draft you have to take a wait and see approach  whats your opinion ?

    Thats fine. A draft grade given to a team is basically an opinion of how you think your team fared on draft day. 

    The Browns did OK in my opinion. They get a C. 

    If a team managed to both fill it's needs and with quality players they probably get an A+

    How the player turns out in a few years is irrelevant to this little exercise.

     

     

     

  5. If this is only about leaving it up to the states, good. Then we may not have a large increase of impoverished Arican Americans born in the hood and fatherless being made to believe that the impoverishment they find themselves in is the result of racism/ white oppression/ social injustice.

    - I would love to see a timeline with key moments for when conservatives became infatuated with Musk

    - It'll be interesting to see Musk's long term play here. Why is he really doing this, what are his goals, etc. Will be interesting to watch. What his intentions are and what the political right think his intentions are could easily be two different things.  

     

    Hopefully this is all positive.

    Fighting for a playoff spot in one of the toughest if not THE toughest division in all of football that includes a team with Joe Burrow who's team went to the Super Bowl last year, and by the way, we beat them twice last year. 

    We have a competent GM, a roster full of talent, and an owner willing to eat a 230 million dollar contract ( and by the way, I really appreciate that as a fan). Somehow, losing record doesn't tell the whole story.

    The whole story means nothing if you don't win. 

    If you're happy with a good story with a lousy ending more power too you, just don't expect others to fall in line.

    Yeah we beat Cincy, but we also were swept by a pathetic Steeler team...with Myles and others arriving at the game at First Energy wearing Halloween costumes. A real good look for a team serious about beating the fucking Steelers.

    Morals clause?

    Not sure you are aware of this but a really decent, good man once said that if a man is a celebrity, he can do anything sexually to a woman and get away with it. This man's words cannot be argued against, he's such a good man people wear red hats with his saying on it and everything. 

    Bill Clinton and Joe Biden agrees, Did he say anything about little girls?

    Every article I read that has to do with the Browns anywhere on the internet that has a comment section, all I read is people complaining that the team has been rebuilding for the past 20 years and that they are angry because the organization has done this to the fans over and over again. So they actually turn things around by drafting players like Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome, Nick Chubb, JOK, Njoku, and having the balls to draft Baker. Then they bring in players via trade and FA like Landry, Kareem Hunt, John Johnson, JC Tretter, and Austin Hooper.

    Baker leads us to a win over Pittsburgh in the playoffs for the first time in decades, now we have DeShaun Watson. I used to think Haslem didn't care about the Browns, that he was keeping them shitty on purpose because he knew no matter how bad they were the fans would still buy tickets. The fact they took a chance on Watson and gave him the contract they did proves me I was wrong about Haslem. Now I hear arguements from two different crowds, one is how bad Baker is and how he is holding the team back, the other is raging about the Browns trading for Watson and saying the organization is still in a continued state of rebuilding. 

    Even if you don't like Watson, you have to give them credit for trying to bring a franchise QB here. I get it, trading for him was a huge risk, but who the fuck else did the Browns even have a chance at? All of the good young top level QB's in the league today AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE. So you take a chance on a retread like Matt Ryan? Russell Wilson? I think the Browns are looking at the long term. People still angry at the organization are either not real fans (trolls) or have been asleep for the past 20 years.

    What was our record last year again?

    Looks like an illegal alien.

    Thats the wrong term, which is really the right term. The new right term, which is really wrong is "undocumented Immigrant."

    Just 5 letters into typing the word and Google lets you have it.
