I get it, but I think you'll be there in September....Ya can't just get it out of your blood like that. They are going to be covering the hell out of the Browns this year.... I wouldn't be surprised if Hard Knocks wants us back. You know what I mean.
Not the best team. Front 7 needs a lot of work. Need a C and RT. Need WRs. Terrible decision by Cleveland. How do they acquire talent missing those picks they gave to Houston? With the Browns schedule the '23 pick might be Top 10.
Now to regain some of that capital. We trade Bake to Indy for a 3rd and a conditional pick based on his performance. Bake will do very well with Jonathan Taylor and the Colts, and thus he will parlay it into a future #1 for the Browns. What a crazy two weeks. And this is the offseason...
They didn’t just take on his contract, they gave him more money to bribe him into Cleveland. Do you consider him the #2 QB in the league? That is what they are paying him to be. He now makes on average $1M more per year than Mahomes and $3M more a year than Josh Allen. The other teams, reportedly, did not offer new money. On top of that, the entire contract is guaranteed. The only other QB in history to get a completely guaranteed contract is Kirk Cousins. Now, you will miss games in either 2022 or 2023 for suspension. He also hasn’t played a snap in over a year. He still has Stefanski calling plays, so most likely if he is at the top of his game you are looking at a 3,700-3,900 yard 25-26 TD QB making $46M per year. That $46M means at least two top tier players you can no longer afford… AT LEAST. If he doesn’t pan out, sorry about your luck because you don’t have a first round draft pick until 2025. That is all on top of the fact that 22 women have accused him of at the very least exposing himself to them repeatedly, some much worse than that. THAT is the face of your franchise for the next 5 years.
I’ve never been this embarrassed to have supported the Browns… We once went 1-31… not as embarrassed as I am right now.
Really? I don't think this comes close to the embarrassment of Hue Jackson OR Johnny Manziel for that matter...
So after a search that goes back to the days of Otto Graham, the Cleveland Browns have finally acquired a legit superstar QB in his prime and we have him signed for 5 years. Sure, he's a little creepy, but now because it's one of those "this could only happen here" things, everybody nationally will love the Browns again. And all you dawgs kickin fan cards to the curb aren't going anywhere.....Not sayin it won't take a minute to digest.
Thanks -- and I agree with you. I've said for some time now that the roster is a paper tiger. There are deficiencies there that showed up big-time in 2021. We were supposed to be built for a Super Bowl but when we needed the rest of the team to carry a broken QB, they faltered.
The most guaranteed money in the history of the NFL, on top of the biggest trade in NFL history. The worst part is they wrote the new contract so his base salary in 2022 is $1 million. You know, when he's facing a mutliple game suspension for being a serial offender. The Browns went out of their way to ensure the pervert gets to keep $229 of the $230 million dollars. Morality aside, this is the kind of move that basically puts the entire organization on notice. If the Browns don't win a Super Bowl in the next three years, *everyone* has to go, right?
The Cleveland Browns acquired Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson in exchange for a slew of draft picks on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, and their Super Bowl odds have gotten better entering the 2022 campaign. Cleveland now has the sixth-best odds to reach Super Bowl LVII at +1400 ($100 bet wins $1,400), according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The only teams with better odds are the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams. The Browns also added wide receiver Amari Cooper this offseason, which also likely impacted their championship odds. Cooper should be one of Watson's top targets alongside Anthony Schwartz and Donovan Peoples-Jones.
