Claims are typically denied, bounce back to the employees health insurance, and it can be a very drawn out process to settle anything. Lots of red tape. My guess is Watson has filed (or his lawyer on his behalf) and it's pending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if it takes a bunch of the financial burden off the team I hope they keep the useless fucker on the IR for the next 3 years.

Hahaha WSS Lol...well I get it. Watson is never going to be a beloved player here, or anywhere for that matter. We just hope he plays well (when available) and the Browns win. I honestly have no clue how workman's comp affects the cap, but I'm guessing it doesn't.....just legal mumble-jumble jargon. $230 million is still $230 million on the cap no matter who's paying. Everything I've read is the Browns are stuck with that contract through 2026. The "guaranteed money" thing is the reason per the analysts. I'm not smart enough, or just too lazy to dig deeper into it, so I will believe the so-called gurus. Damnit. Yesterday was another "oh no" chapter that we've all become too familiar with.

And some who don't like him regardless of his contribution to the team success one way or the other. He's not Bernie Kosar and he's not Michael Vick. So far he's a Lamborghini up on blocks in some Hillbillies front yard. 😀 WSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 NFL players can receive workers comp, it varies by the state the team is in though. Workers comp replaces lost wages though, which Watson doesn’t have given he is fully guaranteed and not losing paychecks. It also covers medical bills, but I’m sure the browns foot the bill for everything too - plus they have their in-house rehab and doctors. But since Watson isn’t losing wages he’s not eligible to receive workers comp. Outside of the medical bills, which I’m sure is covered anyway by the browns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy should have known, that Pennsylvania Title should have been a salvage title in the first place. (Yes I know but anybody that's ever bought a used cars in Northeast Ohio realizes if you want to get a clean looking title for a car that has been wrecked or in a flood you go to Pennsylvania) WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 ~ Just a little reading on workmans comp for NFL players, yes they can be covered. "but" ..... read on ...... Following the traumatic injury of Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin (#3) on Monday Night Football, questions regarding pro athletes’ eligibility for workers’ compensation became a topic of discussion. ● To clarify, NFL players and most professional athletes are eligible for workers’ compensation. However, since workers’ compensation is a state-administered system, varying rules and protocols must be applied, including where the player plays, is injured, or permanently resides. Workers’ compensation claims are not uncommon in the NFL, as the likes of Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboys) and Clyde Simmons (Philadelphia Eagles) are two prominent names on the receiving end of such benefits. According to the NFL Physicians Society, common orthopedic injuries in the NFL consist of those to the knee (i.e., MCL, ACL), foot, ankle, shoulder, back and neck. Other frequent injuries include concussions (187 in 2021), injuries to the chest, broken ribs, splenic lacerations, and kidney-related injuries. As football is a highly intensive contact sport, injuries are expected. Nonetheless, the long-term toll of these injuries were and continue to be greatly downplayed. A survey of retired NFL players found that nearly nine in ten suffer from chronic aches and pains on a daily basis. A 2021 joint study by UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and Ohio University featured in the Journal for Sports Rehabilitation analyzing 3,647 former NFL players found that 90 percent suffered at least one musculoskeletal injury in their career. Just under 75 percent of respondents say they are still affected by injuries from their NFL tenure. In a league of 32 teams, organizations such as the Chicago Bears have reported 458 worker’s compensation claims since 2000, with total settlement payouts at approximately 12.8 million, as of 2018 data. While most players will be able to have their injuries treated by their respective team’s medical staff, several injuries can go undetected or unrecognized even after a player hangs up their cleats. NFL personnel continue to receive criticism regarding the organization's handling of concussions, a condition well-linked to developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The condition can cause dementia and worsen one’s overall cognitive state with age. A high number of player deaths were attributed to the disease, including former Patriots Linebacker Junior Seau at age 43 and former Broncos Wideout Demaryius Thomas at age 33. Findings at Boston University’s CTE Center evaluating the brains of 202 football players at varying levels of the game found that 87 percent displayed CTE-related markers. Despite well-documented evidence of high-risk injury involved with being a professional athlete, states can, at times, be..... continued read on ●--> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. 😄 After all the guessing I'm going to assume that since his contract is guaranteed one way or the other he loses no money and wc doesn't kick in.
