Keeping our enemies close

I’m telling ya…these guys are going to be insanely good. 
 

They already had the best offensive line in the division, one of the best defenses in the league, and two very good RB’s. They now have a legit #1 receiver, going to re-sign their #2, and charging forward. 
 

I always feared they would eventually bring it all together, and it’s looking that way.

I think Goodell has to suspend Rub&Tug for at least 6 games, but hopefully more. No way the Browns are digging out of a 1-5 start, regardless of how much firepower they have. 

 

The best case though will be if another victim arises, Deshaun gets criminal charges, goes to prison as the sketchy penis rubber he is, and the Browns would still lose out on their 3 first round picks.

Don’t they need a Keenum patch, too?

 

Interestingly, the addition of Watson has bumped up the Browns’ Super Bowl odd to 14-1. Bengals are at 23-1. Even going to the SB still doesn’t get us any respect. 

You are correct.  Keenum started 2 games this year.

Translation. We got caught with our "pants down" when we let it slip that we wanted an adult in the room, thus pissing Baker off before we even secured Watson, so we have to give away the farm and lock ourselves in cap hell if it doesnt work out.

The Browns were out of the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes until they dug extra deep in the couch cushions of Jimmy Haslam’s Cleveland steamship.

So how much money will they be paying Watson? We’ve gotten our eyes on the details, per a source with knowledge of the contract.

Here’s the breakdown, which is as simple as it gets:

1. Signing bonus: $44.965 million, fully guaranteed.

2. 2022 base salary: $1.035 million, fully guaranteed.

3. 2023 base salary: $46 million, fully guaranteed.

4. 2024 base salary: $46 million, fully guaranteed.

5. 2025 base salary: $46 million, fully guaranteed.

6. 2026 base salary: $46 million, fully guaranteed.

Rarely if ever has a deal looked so clear and clean. No games, no fluff. He gets $46 million each and every year. Each year, the relative impact on the cap will shrink, because the total spending limit will keep going up and up and up.

As previously reported, there’s no signing bonus forfeiture or voiding of future guarantees based on the existing allegations against Watson. If he’s suspended by the league, the guarantees remain.

And the current structure minimizes the financial impact of a suspension, given that he’d lose only $60,882 for each game missed. If, for some reason, a suspension doesn’t happen until 2024, the Browns surely would convert most of the $46 million to a guarantee, dropping the salary to the minimum and once again minimizing the cost of a suspension.

It seems like a too-convenient loophole, but plenty of players and teams have done it in the past. The league presumably could impose a separate fine aimed at reversing the impact of the obvious manipulation of the consequences of a suspension

Bengals fans should show up to Cleveland next year wearing Cheeto jerseys to troll the Browns 

 

If Bengals fans at PBS do not have a huge banner saying ...

 

"No Happy Endings for Deshaun today"

 

then we will have failed as fans.

Hard to believe we are the defending AFC Champs, there is zero drama and most of the pundits like us. 
 

How would you like to have the highest paid player in the league who won’t face the press or do an interview?  How about the coach who has to take bullets for him?
 

Or a QB named Mitch?

Browns Owner: "We are acutely aware and empathetic to the highly personal sentiments of our female fans that resent us signing a QB who forces women to give him blow jobs, ejaculates on them randomly, and rubbed his penis on 18 of them at last count. Of course, none of us would trust him alone with our wives or daughters, or even female staff inside the stadium, but you should be proud of him representing your city. Go Brownies!"
