Watson to the Browns (1 Viewer)

They made Jameis an offer already…. He hasn’t accepted it yet..

Smart of him not to. His price went up.

Just more proof that Watson's incapable of making good decisions. Good riddance.

I said earlier today his agent would make the decision. Watson was stupid to put money before happiness.

ESPN CONFIRMING. I'm relieved. Now the Saints can work on rebuilding their OL and bring in some WRs. IMHO, I didn't think it would ever happen.

This doesn’t come as a surprise. I’ve been to Cleveland a few times. There’s massage places every block

Is Matt Ryan still going to want to play for Atlanta? This wasn't great for us to get involved in, but I think it looks even worse for them.

I don't think it looks particularly bad for either team, especially us. We are unsettled at QB and the Falcons have one that is older and won't be there much longer. Ryan has been in the NFL long enough to understand business is business. That said I wouldn't have been upset if we got Watson and I'm not upset we didn't. If that is the contract he was looking for - honestly - I don't think he is worth that kind of money.

I'm plenty happy to be keeping the money and the draft picks and keep building our team and hopefully getting a sane salary cap situation.

I guess a lot of it depends on if you think we are close to winning right now. I'm not that convinced we are. I'd be fine with signing and continuing to work with Winston and getting a respectable receiving group back in place.

Thank God this nonsense is over.

 

[Witness]

What an insane contract and twist to this entire saga. Now please sign a QB Saints.

 

[Devildog]

Thank god.

 

[St.RobE]

Did anyone screen shot his tweet claiming Twatson goes to ATL with his super insider source?

 

[boselecta]

Worth every penny. We will have to give at least half of that to keep Winston now.

$230 million fully guaranteed. Damn, that is a lot of forking money. I'm sure neither we nor the Falcons were willing to go that far so he went back to Cleveland. Sucks to lose out on a 26 year old stud QB but I can't blame the FO for not ponying up that much money.

 

[504gks]

They added $74 million to the end of his contract in a 5th year.

That's why he decided on the Browns, folks.

No other reason.

I bet almost all of it is guaranteed.

Edit: ALL of it is guaranteed.

Wowza.

What an insane contract and twist to this entire saga. Now please sign a QB Saints.

Houston what do u think about Ruiz for a second?

 

[batonrougepig]

So what now with Armstead? Is the next news about the Saints that he's going to Dallas or New York?

 

[HouseCall]

I love all the NFL “insiders” are now taking the “well, I’ll be…what an unexpected turn of events!” angle and deflecting to the outrageous contract …

In an attempt to deflect from the fact that they were all wrong and are all completely useless.

 

[OCSaints]

Saints and the Falcons both got played.

don't forget the Panties
