The most player friendly contract in the history of the NFL is CRAZY!!
@like a light Sure, you can be surprised about it, but the Browns were just doing what should’ve been done a long time ago in the NFL. Guaranteed contracts in most other major sports. If you’re a young athlete, would you rather have guaranteed money in the NBA or MLB, or just a guaranteed signing bonus from the NFL?
Think about it. The NFL stands to lose a lot of athletes in future years. This was coming eventually. They’re losing kids playing football because of concussions, so their talent pool is getting squeezed. It’ll eventually catch up to them.
People amking something out of nothing with the Browns..nothing new there.
@R S dude has a worse record as a started than Jimmy g. Also how does he have the best qb rating in the last 5 years when he didn’t play last year
@R S hes 28-26 as a starter 😂
@r s – Watson can start for Mean Machine
While allegations are appalling and are baffling to hear, I think that most incredible thing is that during all this, the Cleveland Browns offered him a virtually completely guaranteed contract without seeing how this plays out. Its one, baffling as the team could be out nearly 45 mil for a player that may never touch the field due to his actions, but it is also appalling to think that the Browns may have just rewarded someone who may have committed serious actions that affect so many people. If he is cleared, I hope we can forgive him but it feels tough to believe that with the patterns that we are seeing in this case, that he is totally innocent.
@Brett Daley soooooo simple question is why didn’t any of them go to police?
@Renee Smith regardless, if someone says “no” then that’s it.
@aaron clay regardless of whether they came back, if they don’t want it then you don’t do it…how’s this so fucking complicated. A person can withdraw their consent whenever they feel like it and that’s every person’s right. This idea that once you say yes that’s that is a big reason why this stuff happens.
@Brett Daley this is different when you willingly show up to give a “massage” if you aren’t a massage therapist. As if everyone doesn’t know what that is really about
@Jump Street24 actually numbers do matter. Statically the more people who come forward with allegations, higher chance that they aren’t lying. I’m sorry you don’t understand that.
As horrible as a situation this is for all the multiple women involved and the overall integrity of the NFL as a whole, gotta love how shitty of a spot this puts the browns. Man may never play a snap and it costed them hundreds of millions of dollars and 5 years of first round draft picks. Browns will still be the browns for many years to come.
Three first round picks.
Browns were out of the running for Watson. They knew full well what they were getting into when they came with that contract. It was the reason he signed there. Obviously they feel its worth it for the talent he brings…but no sympathy for them deserved.
@Themilio xperience 26🤔🤔 nah someone not lying
Horrible situation for the women who falsely accused DeShaun Watson?
They can void contract.. just can’t get the picks back
Only $1m is lost if he is suspended indefinitely?!? Amazing. His agent needs a raise. And a medal. Definitely deserves a book deal, or at least a viral TED Talk.
@Steve Hornea you mean the two years that he’s likely to be missing? That’s what he’s talking about, those first two years are the ones he could be paid to do nothing in
@Ronald Coleman Thanks for the info. I only know about the Browns and how they approach contracts, esp. long term deals like this.
I think they are making something out of nothing with this talk of the Browns handing out a friendly 1st year contract. The other stuff is bad enough, if true. Don’t make silly crap up like this. Eisen is better than this…at least I used to believe he was.
@Warpath Not just the Browns everybody across the league does it
Browns broke a major rule in business. Do not let your emotions into a business deal.
this is almost aiding and abedding by the browns to help keep money from victims and teh nfl. ha!
I would like to thank the Miami Dolphins for suddenly believing in Tua
So would I.
@LA LIFESTYLE nah u just don’t watch the games.. he gotta good record
@jon snipe Sure. I can believe that the Dolphins get 30 team touchdowns this season with Tua playing.
@crypto maniac ok clown
What’s disrespectful is the NFL will instantly punish someone for things like drugs, PEDs, and gambling but they’ll let this mess drag out forever. These suits keep piling up, so how many does it take before the league says enough?
Smartest thing I’ve read.
Well, drugs will affect performance and NFL games are performances. Civil lawsuit doesn’t directly impact performance in this way.
The Most Ultimate Brown’s Move Ever!
UNBELIEVABLE. GOOD LUCK CLEVELAND. Who the hell in the organization brought him in and gave this contact with all this legal mess over his head ???
“Top notch teams” don’t get themselves in this position. This is not something that blindsided them, which is why they were bidding against themselves for his services. Absolutely no other team was willing to offer close to $230mil fully guaranteed with all his baggage.
@Ben Coates – Who cares if he hasn’t played in two years??? What the heck does that mean??? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️ Joe Montana didn’t play for two years, was traded, and then he led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship during his first full year back. And talent doesn’t only come from the first round, you 🤡. There are Hall of Famers who were drafted in the sixth, seventh, and later rounds.
@Jyan Harris – You’re the one who brought race into the conversation not me. Re-read all of your comments. You keep making these passive-aggressive accusations as if you’re an emotionally immature child. Just say what you really mean.
@Mitchell Bassler wrong. he will be coming off not playing for 2 years. will be mid. also the browns screwed themselves over because they won’t have good draft picks for years. wont have any young talent.
@Mitchell Bassler don’t automatically think that and the fact that you said it not me tells me everything I need to know! Also fyi we understand your dog whistle better know and all of the betting around the bush at what you really mean! With that said entertain someone else now!!
@harley – Jerry Jones would have paid him, too, if he didn’t already have a quarterback.
The Browns signed Watson knowing he already had a bunch of pending claims against him. Before doing that, they screwed Baker Mayfield. They deserve this. All of it.
This is about the giant egos of sports franchise owners. They will do anything, ANYTHING, to win
a trophy. The irony… this probably sets the Browns back another 20 years. Good for them. This is
just another sign of the degradation of our culture.
Sound like a hater and Baker was not the one so stop it
Yeee’up…
@Hassi Giovanni how? Like a professional athlete is going to say to the coaching staff “ hey coach I’m hurt bad I can’t play” …it’s up to thre training staff to step in and say ok he’s hurt bad and is going to do more damage than good.. in the act they probably damaged bakers left shoulder permanently for the rest of his life by trodding him out there… cmon guy
