Hopefully Stafford's deal will include low end cap hits for at least the first couple seasons.

Watson: ain’t NO WAY I’m going to Cleveland.

Browns: we’ll guarantee 100% of the $230M.

Watson: I’m a Brown - I love Cleveland!
Pretty much. :laugh4:

This is great for Cleveland and I believe will reinvent the franchise. Love the move and you know what I love even more? Watson stays in the AFC.

Aaron Rodgers signed a 3 year, $150,815,000 contract with the Green Bay Packers, including a $40,800,000 signing bonus, $150,815,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $50,271,667

His yearly is a lot higher.

It's like 4 million higher a year but he may never see it all like Vons contract.
I will roll with 230 guaranteed all day and he will more than likely get yet another payday in 5 years.

Am I the only person that finds Watson highly overrated? I mean he's good, but QBs that run around alot don't usually have a long shelf life. Wussell is the exception, not the rule.

It's all guaranteed just like Watson. Just a shorter contract giving him $12M more over those 3 years. Even a Diva like Rodgers can live on that.

Between how Watson handled his issues with the Texans and the off field stuff.. I'm not a fan.

No.

I think he's an amazing talent, but elite? I dunno.

Goff had similar numbers as Watson in his last year and no one's giving Goff $230M guaranteed...

I honestly don't think there's ever been an offseason this insane.
