    They restructured that absurd Watson contract, but as a result he counts 64 million against the cap EACH OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS! His money is guaranteed.
    I have never run a football team, but it looks to me like they will have to start disassembling the team next year. There is just no way they can retain enough talent when they are hamstrung by that Watson deal. And they gave up a treasure trove of draft picks to get him.
    They have really put all their eggs in one helmet.
    It is highly possible that if they don’t win now they don’t win, period.
    Interesting days on the lake.

    They are likely to add more voided year in the contract of Watson after this year....It's a way to cheat the salary cap but it's legal...It's going to hurt the browns in 2027 or something like that but for now they don't care

    As an example, for the bucs, Brady's dead money for this year is around 35 million!...But at least they won a super bowl, so it's worth it but this year, it's going to be difficult for them

    Of course, the question for the browns is if they can at least compete for the super bowl with Watson in the next 3 years?....If not, their situation is going to be ugly.
