lmaoooo -- Kevin Stefanski got the hottest seat of any NFL coach this season and it's obviously about to get hotter. Imagine screwing up this colossally as a management team. They could have given up a second and Hunt, kept three ones, a three, and two fours over the next several seasons, gotten Garoppolo and added a Garrett Wilson or Jameson Williams to a bleak receiver corp and invested in the defense. They'd be Super Bowl favorites.
I gotta disagree with this take. IMO, Rhule's seat has to be the hottest. Watson's suspension will give Stefanski and Berry a pass until 2023.
It sure seems like Andrew Berry structured the contract believing that there would be a suspension for 2022. Or, as I'm sometimes told by Cleveland fans, he does that with "every" contract, so it's not "unusual" or "slimy". If the latter is the case and that is how they handle things, then you have to assume they expected little to no punishment and once it was green-lit by the Texas counties refusing to indicted on criminal charges (shock), they were pushing their chips *all in* for 2022. They (Stefanski) sabotaged TFQB during the 2021 campaign in order to move on from a QB he didn't want. They decided to trade Case Keenum for a seventh round pick. They offered an unprecedented $230 million guaranteed, plus three years' of first round picks for "their guy". They signed a barely replacement-level QB to back him up (Brissett) and brought in Joshua Dobbs to be a camp arm. Then, public opinion shifted on them and the NFL and the situation evolved. So they brought in Josh Rosen (again, likely a camp arm). And now as their $230 million man is staring down a year-long suspension, pissing away a year of prime football from their young core, the team is looking to add another QB in Jimmy Garoppolo. We're talking more assets surrendered (picks/players) and now a fifth body added to the QB room. To be clear: they almost have to make this move. If Brissett starts all 17, this is a six win team and you've wasted another year of playoffs. If Garoppolo starts, this is 10+ win team and you're nearly guaranteed a playoff spot.
Ever since they flopped on Limas Sweed, they cracked the code and have impectable scouting for WR talent.
George Pickens was no secret, teams were overly concerned about his ACL injury. Didn’t he show that he was ok in the National Championship Game? Also the Georgia Bulldogs don’t really abuse their offensive players like most schools do.
Typical... The Browns lose AGAIN on this trade. If he got 12 games, his contract tolls and they only have to pay him his current 2022 contract numbers in 2023 and he is signed through 2027.. Now, they just lose him for 11 games, the season is shot and he begins his big money pay in 2023, while becoming a free agent in 2027. Why the hell is everyone following this management team blindly?
