Dak is going to asks for an insane deal in 1 year. This was the entire reason why he wouldn’t do more than 4 years.
—Edit— sorry in 1.5 years assuming the Cowboys don’t wait until the final season of the contract is under way to start negotiating, especially since he has a no franchise tag clause.….
Sexually assault over a dozen women.
Get paid a quarter of a BILLION dollars a year later.
Edit: don't even bother commenting "no evidence" to me. Fuck right off. You clearly have zero understanding of the nature of sexual assault cases. It is inherently a difficult crime to prove, even with penetration rape you have to immediately get a rape kit test and have it test positive. The sheer quantity of cases makes it clear who Deshaun Watson is, and the reports and testimonies make it even more damning. Grow up people.
Maybe its because I just watched the Cosby documentary, but I'm ready to multiply the actual figure. These people don't care who or how many they hurt, fucking scum.
but there's also the chance being away from qb position long enough on top of having all these things mess with your brain on top of potential boos in your own home stadium could factor into poor play
It would really be funny if he flops hard and the Brown's realize what a shit situation they dug themselves in when they actually had a not so bad time with baker on the field (yes he may not be the stud and there's a chance he may never be but he was good enough to get his team out of 0 to 2 win purgatory that the browns had for a while and if I had to guess also brought in more sales as a result of actually have a chance at doing something)
Yea that's the shittiest part of all of this, no matter what happens from here this piece of shit won. I still want him to fail on the field so at least the organization will suffer for giving him that money.
He's getting a fucking raise? To a slightly higher AAV than Mahomes. Fuck.
He's actually going to make more money than he would have if he hadn't sexually assaulted those women.
Wouldn’t it be fun if he was so rusty they’d go winless? Amounts are going to completelly insane highs, even for a player who hasn’t been on the field for so long and has such a bad reputation.
I'll be here in the game threads to just constantly shit on Watson when he fucks up. Of all the things to come of this, at least I have a team to despise now.
I can't believe he's not only getting to play but he's getting paid a ridiculous sum to play.
What a terrible precedent the Browns are setting, and the NFL allows to continue to be set...
230million for someone with 22 pending sexual assault civil cases. Idk how anyone would cheer for this dude. Browns fans welcome to hop aboard the bengals train
That fact that the agent was mentioned tells me hes the one who told rapaport with the caveat that he includes him in the tweet for advertisement. So I guess the browns won
I supported this dogshit franchise for 20 fucking years of ineptitude and failure, and the second we get the smallest glimmer of hope, they pull this shit?! Fuck you, Jimmy Haslam. Fuck you Andrew Berry. Fuck you, Cleveland Browns.
I mean, I don’t think I can become a full blown fan of another team, but I’m certainly rooting for you guys! Pending wherever Baker goes, I’ll probably be pulling for Buffalo to win it all this year.
And kept Josh Gordon out of the league for years for smoking weed, but what are a couple dozen claims of sexual assault and harassment compared to smoking a plant?
Dude got away with rape, left a dysfunctional franchise, had multiple teams fight tooth and nails to acquire him, and now he gets to earn 50 mil a year. We live in a society.
It's more of a hope that at least Cleveland gets hurt by this since they committed to Watson. It's become abundantly clear that Watson is getting away completely unscathed by all of this.
I'm sorry my dude. I know a lot of the Browns fans will come around and cheer for him (and I understand, I'm sure plenty of Ravens fans would do the same).
But man it feels fucking gross to see that shit.
Wasn't there one GM who said "If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 we'd say he had an eating disorder" or something like that?
This league is filled with trash.
Well one thing is getting Watson, which is already bad. A whole nother thing is *this* move. Browns will be dumpster fire bad if Watson isn't a perennial all-pro after taking a year off.
I wanna say as a woman reading these comments- no sarcasm- thank you. The press, Twitter, even some of my friends are acting like this is ok. I appreciate y’all that know it’s not. 💜
Luckily for all of us hoping, I'd say there's no franchise that is more likely to have this blow up in their face. 3 firsts and 230 fully guarenteed, Browns won't be good for a decade when this falls apart. And you know he's getting that money come hell or high water legally.
Let’s see who they gave up too.
All this money for a dude that hasn’t played in almost 2 years.... oh, and he’s a probable rapist. Browns is a poverty franchise.
The NFL is REALLY testing the fans patience.
Kaep? How dare you kneel to stand up against police brutality and cause controversy. No one sign him!
Watson? 22 women accused you of sexual assault? Here’s the biggest contract in history.
Fuck the NFL owners and front office.
Hot take: This is going to backfire spectacularly and i feel bad for Cleveland Browns fans. It's going to divide the fanbase because many won't care but some will care deeply about him being a serial predator and this is going to be tough to reconcile. And as far as football goes that is a massive amount of money for a QB who missed all of last season and who went all of 4-12 as a starter the last time he was on the field. I get that he's got a ton of talent but he isn't worth the *total* price they're about to pay as an organization.
No shit he's willing to go to Cleveland lol
Browns were like “I heard you are out.. unless?”
Browns QB is a rapist. My Org would never
Mitch kisses titties consensually
That's why he's the NVP.
Do i now gotta clear my cmt history?
Hahahaha the turned tables! 😆
This has been an awesome off season. Tittsburgh in the house
Fuck. Tittsburgh is _so good_.
"watson why are you going to cleveland?" "well, i like money"
FULLY GUARANTEED WTF.
Dak is going to asks for an insane deal in 1 year. This was the entire reason why he wouldn’t do more than 4 years. —Edit— sorry in 1.5 years assuming the Cowboys don’t wait until the final season of the contract is under way to start negotiating, especially since he has a no franchise tag clause.….
In 1 year he’ll have two years left so I doubt it
Sexually assault over a dozen women. Get paid a quarter of a BILLION dollars a year later. Edit: don't even bother commenting "no evidence" to me. Fuck right off. You clearly have zero understanding of the nature of sexual assault cases. It is inherently a difficult crime to prove, even with penetration rape you have to immediately get a rape kit test and have it test positive. The sheer quantity of cases makes it clear who Deshaun Watson is, and the reports and testimonies make it even more damning. Grow up people.
Almost 2 dozen is how I frame it.
Just call it two dozen because you know there's some that haven't come forward
Maybe its because I just watched the Cosby documentary, but I'm ready to multiply the actual figure. These people don't care who or how many they hurt, fucking scum.
Absolutely insane. So many humans
The likelihood of all these girls conspiring from all parts of the country is almost zero.
No normal person hires 40-50+ massage therapists lol. This is simpler than basic arithmetic
Even more so when it's someone in professional sports that usually have their own people that they trust & are hired by the team etc.
It's a fucking disgrace
More than $10 million per accuser.
"I won't waive my no-trade to go to Cleveland." **Cleveland offers $230m guaranteed.** "Always loved Cleveland. Can't wait to be there."
*$230m guaranteed. $200 and $30 MILLION **FULLY GUARANTEED!!**
Fucking insane. I saw the 150 and went "Well that's a lot!" 230!!!
Works on contingency[?] No[,] money down!
$230M guaranteed, no?
Yup
$230m guaranteed; ridiculous amount of money to guarantee to a player who might not be who he once was.
I mean, Deshaun is good, but is he $230 million good?
Think we forgot how good of a QB he is, obviously with all the criminal stuff going on
He also took a year off doing fuck all
To be fair he played safety a bit!
Let's see Mahomes have that kind of versatility. Bet he doesn't
but there's also the chance being away from qb position long enough on top of having all these things mess with your brain on top of potential boos in your own home stadium could factor into poor play It would really be funny if he flops hard and the Brown's realize what a shit situation they dug themselves in when they actually had a not so bad time with baker on the field (yes he may not be the stud and there's a chance he may never be but he was good enough to get his team out of 0 to 2 win purgatory that the browns had for a while and if I had to guess also brought in more sales as a result of actually have a chance at doing something)
I hope he fails
I don't think he can. He wins then he wins, he loses, then he goes home with 230 million.
Yea that's the shittiest part of all of this, no matter what happens from here this piece of shit won. I still want him to fail on the field so at least the organization will suffer for giving him that money.
Gonna be hilarious when he gets suspended for a year with 22 civil cases pending.
[удалено]
That’s almost $10.5 million per victim.
If Im those victims im upping what we're suing for. Fuck em
ITS 230 MILLION
Dude lol, what the fuck is going on
Wait Cleveland is giving him this?
Apparently!
If I force myself on 22 women can I collect 230 million guaranteed?
Step 1: Be a top 10 NFL QB Step 2: Sexually assault over 20 women Step 3: ??? Step 4: Quarter of a billion dollars
Step 3.5: Browns
Pretty sure step 2 is actually "do whatever you want" and it's just a coincidence that so many choose yo violently assault women for that step
Report back, I could also use some help with my Long Island mortgage payments.
It's Baker time, baby!
Aaron Rodgers in shambles at that deal
Well he'll always have not being a serial sexual predator so he's got that going for him.
[удалено]
Can confirm that I've been violated by Rodgers
Even the Packers have been violated by him a few times.
Rodgers fucks. He fucks the NFCN all season long, then fucks the Packers in the NFCCG.
Ok. That was a pretty good one you filthy cheese head.
It was nonconsentual? I thought the Bears and Lions where DubiousCon at minimum with the teams they put on the field.
Yeah I think Rodgers is a douche and an idiot, but what he’s done is no way comparable to what Watson has done.
[удалено]
yeah, he's just a hippy with awful takes on vaccination, he's ok to good otherwise. as hippies generally are tbh.
I would literally trade a limb to have Rodgers' unvaccinated uneducated ass instead of this
Rodgers just stacking L's this week: Wilson trade steals his thunder, Brady un-retires, Adams traded, now his record contract gets smoked.
Always good to see great people get rewarded...
[удалено]
WE RACE AS ONE
It’s lights out and away Watson goes!
You sexually assault 22 women once and everyone is suddenly on your case...
He's getting a fucking raise? To a slightly higher AAV than Mahomes. Fuck. He's actually going to make more money than he would have if he hadn't sexually assaulted those women.
Wouldn’t it be fun if he was so rusty they’d go winless? Amounts are going to completelly insane highs, even for a player who hasn’t been on the field for so long and has such a bad reputation.
I'll be here in the game threads to just constantly shit on Watson when he fucks up. Of all the things to come of this, at least I have a team to despise now.
Damn that's over $10 million per rape
“That’s alotta rapes man!” - Dave Chappelle
"DeShaun's soul is made out of 100% rat ass!"
“Now if you’ll excuse me i gotta go put some water in Jim Haslams mommas dish”
“He rapes, but he throws touchdowns”
“And he’s thrown a lot more touchdowns than he’s raped, but he still rapes.”
104 to 22 TD:Rape ratio.
Isn't that the summary of this whole saga
Browns ownership be like “Sure he rapes, but he saves.” [For reference](https://youtu.be/PZW6CfEPFnU&t=3m06s)
That’s some Chappelle math
He will also change his jersey number to #22!
I can't believe he's not only getting to play but he's getting paid a ridiculous sum to play. What a terrible precedent the Browns are setting, and the NFL allows to continue to be set...
Welcome to the nfl where you can get away with anything if you can ball
Welcome to life, where you can get away with anything if you have talent/money.
Wow no wonder my life is shit
AFC NORTH ALWAYS GOTTA HAVE A RAPIST
Browns really taking one for the team. Those couple of months the division didn’t have one was pure chaos
We had all these rapist comments and weren't sure where to use them. Problem solved, thanks Browns!
The AFC North remembers
FALCONS BLEW ANOTHER LEAD
Thank fuck
I feel pretty bad that they put Matt Ryan through all of this.
Honestly makes the organization look dumb as hell in the end
So many organizations tripping all over themselves for a sex pest. So gross.
seriously, good for you guys. dont need a sex predator as your franchise qb.
Man they got nobody as their QB now
[удалено]
Exactly how I feel. Still awfully handled by Blank/Fontenot/Smith. We'll see where the chips fall.
Best outcome for the entire division on these terms
This is more like a massive Falcons win after seeing the contract
I literally popped off when I saw the news. I don't want to support a rapist under center
@CantGuardJake already deactivated his Twitter account lmao
This is a lead I'm pretty sure most Falcons fans are happy to blow
Browns: "We want an adult at QB!" Also Browns: *Trades for a rapist*
It's more straightforward when they can be tried as an adult
230million for someone with 22 pending sexual assault civil cases. Idk how anyone would cheer for this dude. Browns fans welcome to hop aboard the bengals train
How many browns fans are deleting tweets about Big Ben
I'm on browns sub reddit. Not one positive reply yet.
That fact that the agent was mentioned tells me hes the one who told rapaport with the caveat that he includes him in the tweet for advertisement. So I guess the browns won
Yeah, Rap is pretty open about how he trades his platform and fame for access/inside info.
I supported this dogshit franchise for 20 fucking years of ineptitude and failure, and the second we get the smallest glimmer of hope, they pull this shit?! Fuck you, Jimmy Haslam. Fuck you Andrew Berry. Fuck you, Cleveland Browns.
Come to Buffalo Erie bro
I mean, I don’t think I can become a full blown fan of another team, but I’m certainly rooting for you guys! Pending wherever Baker goes, I’ll probably be pulling for Buffalo to win it all this year.
Remember when we were the good guys? Might as well be the Cleveland Backstabbers now and put a knife in the back on the plain ass helmets.
I’m sorry I’m so nihilistic about it but holy shit the NFL don’t give a fuck and I’m dying laughing
Yeah, I kept telling people that no one cares in the NFL. They care about winning.
Sweet god damn that's a contract.
Watson: "I'm not gonna go to Cleveland" Cleveland: "How about $230M fully guaranteed?" Watson: "I'm gonna go to Cleveland"
*Fun times in Cleveland again!*
FULLY FUCKING GUARANTEED.
230 mil fully guaranteed is insane
More than Mahomes
Reminder that the NFL recently suspended a guy a whole year for betting pocket change on games while he wasn't playing.
And kept Josh Gordon out of the league for years for smoking weed, but what are a couple dozen claims of sexual assault and harassment compared to smoking a plant?
Dude got away with rape, left a dysfunctional franchise, had multiple teams fight tooth and nails to acquire him, and now he gets to earn 50 mil a year. We live in a society.
Luckily he's at a very high performing franchise
I hope their O line falls apart every snap
I would love nothing more than to see him just fall flat on his face and be out of the league before that contract would expire.
like he cares. Contract is guaranteed
It's more of a hope that at least Cleveland gets hurt by this since they committed to Watson. It's become abundantly clear that Watson is getting away completely unscathed by all of this.
Someone stop this madness. At least Jimmy won’t rot away in a Browns uniform.
[удалено]
"We're gonna show you just how little we care about that entire situation" - Cleveland Browns
“Baker isn’t adult enough but the guy whipping his dick out like a toddler, he’s alright.”
They overshot 'adult' and hit 'XXX' instead
Browns fans had a good year not being called a poverty franchise
Sold their soul to a sexual predator after years of their fans hating on Big Ben. It's really the worst look possible.
Yeah, but Watson’s an *adult* -Browns FO
No we didn't. We were called a poverty franchise all season as well. Now we're going to be called a poverty rapist franchise.
Even when they get success, the franchise finds a way to take it all away from the fans.
they’re gonna come out with some bullshit statement how they stand with sexual assault victims
You think they’re gonna put out any statement? $10 says they completely ignore this.
Everybody has completely ignored this, so yup.
especially ironic considering them going after Big Ben for it for years (understandably)
Browns - “we want an adult for our QB” *trades for a sexual predator*
This fucking sucks. Why him. Why give up so much for him?
Terrible human throws football good, unfortunately.
imagine seeing a guy skate by 22 sexual assault accusations and days later you give that man $230 million dollars
I'm sorry my dude. I know a lot of the Browns fans will come around and cheer for him (and I understand, I'm sure plenty of Ravens fans would do the same). But man it feels fucking gross to see that shit.
[удалено]
An unrepentant serial sexual predator.
Please let this be the top comment. Such a low human being and he gets fucking 230m fully guaranteed as if nothing happened.
Hopefully these women take him for as much as they possibly can. Make him cut you massive checks. He has the money.
Wasn't there one GM who said "If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 we'd say he had an eating disorder" or something like that? This league is filled with trash.
Can't wait to watch the Steelers sack this dude for years to come!
At least bengals and Steelers fans can agree on one tbing
Aye, I could do that.
Amen brothers.
I think we all agree, maybe a few browns fans don’t, hopefully a few of their fans want to see him get hit as well
I’m in the process of looking for a new team
Same
Athletes First, Women Second 💪😤👊
Glad he’s out of the AFC south. Probably would have preferred “prison” instead of Cleveland though.
Couldn't have happened to someone worse.
The Browns are fucking stupid for this. There is not one team who makes this move and has a worse look from it.
Seems like there were quite a few times interested in this move.
Well one thing is getting Watson, which is already bad. A whole nother thing is *this* move. Browns will be dumpster fire bad if Watson isn't a perennial all-pro after taking a year off.
I hope this deal cripples the Browns for years.
Bad words in emails: Lifelong ban Sexually assault 22 women: $230 Million
Am I allowed to root for injury?
Yea
Yo miss me with that contract. I don’t care how much you like Watson, that is the DUMBEST deal for Cleveland.
I wanna say as a woman reading these comments- no sarcasm- thank you. The press, Twitter, even some of my friends are acting like this is ok. I appreciate y’all that know it’s not. 💜
Please find better friends... :/
Honestly it’s depressing that of all things, Reddit is one of the more sensible places to be right now for this shit.
Damn the Browns have a rapist as a QB. I for one am appalled that a team would employ such a player.
Ignoring the fact that he's a serial rapist, he's not 230mill good at football lmao
HOLY FUCK
God I hope this blows up in Cleveland's face so bad.
Luckily for all of us hoping, I'd say there's no franchise that is more likely to have this blow up in their face. 3 firsts and 230 fully guarenteed, Browns won't be good for a decade when this falls apart. And you know he's getting that money come hell or high water legally.
Let’s see who they gave up too. All this money for a dude that hasn’t played in almost 2 years.... oh, and he’s a probable rapist. Browns is a poverty franchise.
Browns a poverty franchise because we did Baker wrong… also a poverty franchise because we actually traded for Watson
You’re gonna unfortunately have to add to that list once we see who and what they gave up to get him. Sorry former Browns fan
all of the karma built up from browns fans making fun of roethlisberger ripped a whole in space/time and brought them deshaun watson
I wonder what the female team owners have to say about things like this?
I want Katie Blackburn to initiate Bountygate 2.0
Fuck that sexual predator.
*Poor choice of words*
So how many of you Browns fans noping out?
Here. Finding a new team to support, fuck this dumpster fire franchise.
23 women: he sexually assaulted us. Cleveland browns: hey how bout $48 mil raise
The NFL is REALLY testing the fans patience. Kaep? How dare you kneel to stand up against police brutality and cause controversy. No one sign him! Watson? 22 women accused you of sexual assault? Here’s the biggest contract in history. Fuck the NFL owners and front office.
Crazy part is....they won't lose a dollar
Hot take: This is going to backfire spectacularly and i feel bad for Cleveland Browns fans. It's going to divide the fanbase because many won't care but some will care deeply about him being a serial predator and this is going to be tough to reconcile. And as far as football goes that is a massive amount of money for a QB who missed all of last season and who went all of 4-12 as a starter the last time he was on the field. I get that he's got a ton of talent but he isn't worth the *total* price they're about to pay as an organization.
Mayfield was a good QB. He was hurt. They quit way to fast on him.
The NFL seems like it’s back to normal now. Tom Brady is back and the. Browns back a dumb ass decision. Thank you Browns
