Beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the old elite Watson again.

I highly doubt it.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's actually surprising given the Browns QB situation.

Yeah, does this mean they know Watson will play?

Because we may not be the 85 Bears, but I would damn sure expect us to beat Famous Jameis Winston.

did you see how the Browns org worked his monstrous contract to end up with the most salary cap space in the league?

I don't understand why they'd do that. Doesn't this tie them to him even longer? I'd think they'd want out ASAP.

They're dumb?

Not really, if they don't spend the money it really makes no difference.

I'm assuming they're spending the money (even if it's next year, since they can roll over the cap space) otherwise why do it?

I'm sure you will for week one anyway.

They are moving money around to make up for that poorly structured original one. You will likely never ever see a contract that bad ever again.

I thought he wasn't going to play week 1?

 

[NoDak]

He’s not.

But he’ll be super elite on the sideline, damnit!

 

[Genghis Khan]

Apparently he's supposed to play.

Hard to say, maybe they are gearing up to spend big next offseason. Or maybe they just like having extra flexibility. Either way, it has zero impact until they go on a spending spree.

All they are doing is giving themselves the cap room now that they would instead have 1, 2, 3 years from now.

Right, but that means that his cap hit remains high in future years, when they could have eaten up a chunk of it this year. It makes him more expensive to cut in the future. Although since it's fully guaranteed maybe they never intended on ever cutting him anyway.

Huh. Just a few days ago they said he wouldn’t be ready. Go figure.
