Totally no truth to the rumor that the Browns are going to trade with the Dolphins to send "4" to Miami to join with Robert Kraft at the local massage establishments while also filling in for Tua. None at all....

But I wish it were a rumor that would happen just because :lol:

So, I'm far from an expert with NFL and stuff. But I was talking to a buddy last Monday. He says that if you cut a player, all of the money you've paid him in signing bonus has to hit that team's salary cap that year. I guess the Browns just renegotiated Watson's contract so a lot of his pay is guaranteed - a signing bonus. So, normally that would hit all of the years of his contract equally. But to cut Watson would make all of that hit this year.

So the Browns would be left with about as much money on the cap as they'd need to pay 4th graders, if they cut him now.

Bench him, maybe. I thought he played pretty well today, though. But they can't cut him.

Fans longing for Baker in a hilarious way. Like we didn't see what he did in 2019 with an average Oline (highest bail rate from clean pockets in the NFL) and only being beaten by Jameis Squinston himself for most INTs thrown. Watching fans rehabilitate that image is a laugher. We can pretend he would have been significantly better, but most of us don't have a memory that's 5 minutes long.

Yea, Baker let the hype get to his head and stopped putting in effort.
Getting shitcanned renewed his drive. If we kept him, we don't get the Baker in Tampa today. He would still be spending more time on commercials than he did on tape and preparation.

they won't cut him because the dead cap hit will absolutely cripple the team... and they would still own him the money... the only way he's cut is if they can wiggle out due to the new accusations

With the new charges, couldn't they fire him for cause?
Not sure how that works with NFL cap rules, but strictly in terms of his contract... some good lawyers should be able to void it.
