Watson suspension extended to 11 games and a big ass fine.

Still not enough imo, but a helluvalot better than six.

So, do the Browns now make the deal for JimmyG?

I think it's funny that the first game he's eligible to be back is against the Texans in Houston. Nothing like a nice friendly crowd in your first game back. LOL.

ProFootballTalk reports that Deshaun Watson will be suspended for 11 games with a $5 million fine.​

A copy of an agreement between the NFL and NFLPA surfaced on Twitter, which a ProFootballTalk source indicated is real. The ruling indicates that Watson's 11-game suspension will begin after final roster cutdown. He will be eligible for reinstatement on November 28. The settlement directs Watson's $5 million fine, along with $1 million each from the Browns and the NFL, into a fund to "support the work of non-profit organizations across the country." While the prospect of seeing Watson on the field in 2022 remains jarring, the NFL's goal of an indefinite suspension took a hit when Judge Suan Robinson issued a ruling of a six-game suspension. Watson will be eligible to return in Week 13 when, unbelievably, the Browns travel to Houston to play the Texans.

I heard something that they could release him? I don't believe that. I think they can at least get something like what the Browns got for trading Baker

I can't see that happening. If the Niners can't get something of value, why wouldn't you keep him around as possibly the best backup in the league, especially with a mobile QB who could easily miss games (or may very well just plain suck once games are real)?

I'd expect they'd have to give up more than what they got for Baker, even if I personally believe Baker to be a better QB. The Brownies simply have zero leverage...again..

27 million is a tad much to pay a clipboard holder

True, but it ain't like that number isn't already accounted for in the budget/cap, and who is out there that they could sign to better utilize it anyways?
That'd be a viable argument to not trade FOR him, but, doesn't hold a lot of water as a reason to deal him away now that the league year is already under way, especially seeing as they may very well have to find a way to cover part of that salary to facilitate a trade anyways.

IDK simply banking it for next off season seems like a good enough reason not to pay a bench warmer millions.

This was kind of amazing to me:

There is that option that I had forgotten about..true

Wow. Wish you the best with this ownership, Browns fans!

SMH.

Deshaun Watson and the Browns are a match made in repugnance

The dissonance Thursday between the written statements in response to Watson's NFL punishment and what was actually said in front of microphones suggests utter shamelessness.

Browns fans deserve much, much better. What a disgrace.

Anybody worried that Dalvin Cook's ordeal might pop up sometime this season? He is a guy I would automatically cuff if I drafted anyway, but it almost makes you have to reach for Mattison a round or 2 ahead of where you may before if he ends up missing time during the season. That was a weird story with both him and his girl claiming the other one was holding them hostage.

I remember hearing about earlier but nothing lately. I doubt anything will come of it in 2022 as slow as the NFL is to act.

Yeah, they'll get to that one right after the Alvin Kamara situation gets resolved in 2025.

I think Cook's incident happened before Kamara's. So maybe 2024.

 

[TREFF]

Dalvin also has the benefit of there being no incriminating video of the incident, its a civil issue, not a legal/prison/jail issue, he claims HE was the victim of domestic abuse...and with the recent Depp v Heard trial, it's very apparent that even public opinion of the guy might not even be an issue...if the situation is handled in the right way.

Maybe you guys can make a roster of players who've had legal issues.

QB - Desahaun Watson
RB - Alvin Kamara
