Watson is going to

Cleveland.
Just reported by Rapoport.
5 years $230 million fully guaranteed

Sorry, no link, I am watching it on TV.

Hmmm, maybe Mayfield will be available. :snack:

 

[mistaowen]

Fully guaranteed too. $80 million than the most gtd money ever.

Absolutely ridiculous. Guess they are in fact open to trading Baker now.

I'm hearing (and this is early so it may be false reporting) that the entire $230 million is guaranteed. $46 million per year totally guaranteed. Seems steep if you ask me. Can't say that I would have been happy to have had to pay him that kind of money to come here.

WTF? I thought they were out and it was down to the Saints and Falcons. Ya can't believe any of these damn reports.

Who do they have at WR? LOL (NM...I forgot they grabbed Cooper.)

And, Mayfield is apparently NOT headed to Houston in this deal.

 

[James in PA]

Ok, Watson to Cleveland, Baker to Seattle, Jimmy G to Carolina, and Jameis back to New Orleans.

Let's just get this $hit over with already.

So much to talk about here....Watson going from one dysfunctional team/owner to another. Why would he agree to go to Cleveland? I would say that Falcons owner Arthur Blank would be a much better option than Jimmy Haslam. How about Haslam calling Mayfield immature yet he then signs Watson? The dude with the pending civil suits? Bizarre.

Well, it is the silly season. :snack:

Pretty hard to walk away from $230 million, fully guaranteed, no matter how bad the management.

^^^So Much This^^^^

People will ask why he changed his mind and in public he'll say that it just seems like a good fit and that he sees them as a talented team that he can win with, but privately, we all know that you don't walk away from $230 million guaranteed. That would be crazy and I doubt a team with good management/ownership grants that deal.

I keep forgetting that Carolina traded for Sam Darnold last year. Let Carolina live with their mistake. Jimmy G to the Colts.

Not much different then the Arod situation with the Mariners and Texans.
