stupid to not trade Baker until they knew they had his replacement or stupid to do exactly what they told Baker and his camp they were doing?

If I remember timelines correctly, I would say stupid for letting it out that they were looking to move off from him before they had his replacement.

Maybe but what would have changed if he found out later? That was only an issue had we NOT gotten Watson.

Don't know who leaked that but if they're in the organization they should be unemployed

At minimum Seymour...and then to take Green in the first the following year after passing on the most can't miss RB pretty much ever? Lol.

Ideally, he wouldn't find out until Watson was already pretty well locked up. They also could have quietly started shopping him and maybe had a deal of some sort ready to go to move him quickly.

Ideally? Sure, but not a big deal he found out. Likely they had quietly started shopping him.

"Unless Deshaun Watson gets suspended for the entire season (a distinct possibility given the disgusting allegations still attached to him) he will be their starter this year and going forward."

Cool. If watson were to get, say, no suspension what did they do that was stupid?
Well for one thing that’s not happening but you still have the issue of paying a guy 18 million who doesn’t want to be there.

He is getting some type of suspension....no chance he gets off with no suspension.

That is just stupid.
No chance? No chance the accusers recant and say they made it up/exaggerated? No chance there is no evidence to support their claims?

Unlikely he gets no suspension? Probably but saying no chance is actually kind of stupid when you don't have a clue what really happened.

It was stupid to pick up his 5th year option after a very good season? When they picked it up, of course, there was never a thought he didn't want to be here.

So there's that?
