He waived it....Cleveland also has given the next 3 1st rd picks to Houston for him.. Mortgaged their future if you ask me.

Of course he waived it.  To complete the deal he has to waive it.  To accept Watson bent them over on insane fanacials.

Cleveland does what they do, they are nuts $230 mil fully guaranteed

It was stupid and will blowup in their face.

 

Baker gets a 4th I imagine.

They structured his first year base to either a million or so if he WERE to get suspended, he would lose the least amount of money.

 

Pretty gross...

[papasmurfbell]

I didn't think that was allowed.  

[GrubberRaven]

I will try and find the source, but I had to read it several times to see if what I was reading was real.

[GrubberRaven]

Here you go!  Seriously...f the browns

I remember that you could only load a certain percentage of base salary as backloaded.

It doesn't really go into what I was talking about.  

Say you give a deal and the bonus is 40 mil.  Yr 1 is 850k 2 is 850k 3 is 850k 4 is 850k and 5 is 65 mil.  At least in the past you could not do that.  Th3 base salary had to be within a threshold for each progressive season.

Round & round he goes, where will he sign, nobody knows. But Rogers will sign with someone one day, someone stupid enough to over pay.

 

If Minnesota wants him, that would be his best chance to win. Solid team, great offensive system, play half your games in doors. Far better offensive line & system than Pit has. Their future qb is still almost half the season away from just being ready to play and no one has any real idea if the kid can play.

Pit, sure, decent team, two very good wide outs who want as many throws as there are in a game. Both will pout though if they are open and the ball either doesn't come their way or is errantly thrown, no matter the reason.

Their line is not very good, ask Russ or Justin, so be ready to pull a Brady or Manning and just fall down to avoid being hit often.

Yep, likely why he is taking so long, trying to decide if he can take the chiding from those moves via the media

Vikes are out on Roger's, looks like it is either the Stillers or the Giants... easy choice there.
