Don’t they just have til 3 pm today or something like that before his salary comes due? Wonder if he’ll be traded?You can be sure that if Ryan get his way, the Falcons will now pay through the nose. Watson will have left his mark.
Ryan has a NTC..............after the Watson fiasco, would you be surprised if he didn't follow in Watson's footsteps, especially after how he has to feel he was treated in all this.Don’t they just have til 3 pm today or something like that before his salary comes due? Wonder if he’ll be traded?
I bet the Falcons don’t let that happen.Ryan has a NTC..............after the Watson fiasco, would you be surprised if he didn't follow in Watson's footsteps, especially after how he has to feel he was treated in all this.
Why would they talk to him when they could've just went to HPD or even the FBI who investigated the situation?

Dammit.Ryan doesn't have a ntc
Its cool. We're all humanDammit.
To the board: ignore my comments about trading Ryan with an NTC. I was given inaccurate information
Do you know what extensive investigation means? It means talking to both sides. It’s still a matter that falls under the personal conduct policy.Why would they talk to him when they could've just went to HPD or even the FBI who investigated the situation?
Extensive is in the eyes of the buyer. They didn't have to interview any people Buzzbee had. If the grand jury came back with nothing. So whats left to inverstigate?Do you know what extensive investigation means? It means talking to both sides. It’s still a matter that falls under the personal conduct policy.
Dammit.

There have been conflicting reports regard this, but you are probably correct.Ryan doesn't have a ntc
Nobody speaks up on teams weaponizing the franchise tag, but now the ntc is a problem?
Falcons got no one else to blame but themselves, they knew the risk they were taking when they pursued watsonWatson leaves another angry mark on another franchise.
So what happened when Big Ben and his rape charge and still got paid? What happened when Leonard and Stallworth ran over people and killed them while being drunk? Vick serve time for dog fighting, came back and signed for 100m and the nfl did what? Again, these are accusations, nothing proven and the nfl has jumped the gun before and paid the price. The NFL is about winning at all cost with whomever you can get to do that. You know it based on the history from steroid use of the 70s steelers, the cocaine use in the 80s, LT and his foolishness,etc.. You think NE didn't know about some of the bs from Hernandez? I see people posting about the 1m salary to aid in the possible suspension, but I've never seen anyone post about the same tool used by NE when Brady was suspended. It seems as if its one way viewership on these issues.For fans that like to not have players pull the crap Derrick pulled, you better believe it's important. (Not to me in the Derrick case because I wanted him gone before he even requested a trade.) Also ownership is going to be upset that the market has been reset by a Sexual Predator with a suspension hanging over him. It's not a good look for the NFL and there's going to be retribution. IMHO
So that’s not extensive then. Look up the word then get back to me.Extensive is in the eyes of the buyer. They didn't have to interview any people Buzzbee had. If the grand jury came back with nothing. So whats left to inverstigate?
No need, they did what they felt was satisfactory. They got their franchise qb and the Texans got picks. You're sour and mad for some reason.So that’s not extensive then. Look up the word then get back to me.
28mNew Orleans has re-signed Jameis Winston to a two-year contract.
Nothing really changed except for a 4th rd pick.Browns fans aren’t happy with the revised terms.
OK, so we also get a 4th in this years draft.
Took me a while to find this, after previously seeing it posted. This impacts the Texans draft. Why is it in the NFL thread rather than the Texans?
If there’s a prospect the Texans like that is falling, it’s an extra chip to use to trade up.Nothing really changed except for a 4th rd pick.
And I'm sure that some will still complain that it wasn't a good trade.

Deshaun Watson-to-Browns deal reveals ugly NFL truth
By Steve Serby
March 20, 2022 3:12am
Imagine if you are a long-suffering Browns fan. Imagine if you are a woman. Or someone who respects women.
Can you in good conscience root for the Browns now?
Or imagine if you are simply an NFL fan. Most of us are. It is, after all, our national pastime.
Can you in good conscience root for Deshaun Watson?
How can you not, at the very least, be conflicted?
When Vince Lombardi repeated those immortal words — “winning isn’t everything, but it’s the only thing” — he couldn’t possibly have imagined an NFL in which morality takes a holiday and he-said is valued more than she-said … at all costs.
Because as always, if you can play, you do not have to pay.
Oh yes, Roger Goodell and company will surely move to save some face when he imposes a politically correct, six-game suspension — which will amount to pocket change lost for Watson — intended to show what amounts to the league’s zero-tolerance policy on the new face of the franchise in Cleveland as per the personal conduct policy.
Alas, there is no zero-tolerance policy for a 26-year-old zero who might be great enough to lead a franchise to its first Super Bowl championship.
Watson emerging from the shady, disturbing 22 civil and nine criminal and sexual assault and harassment accusations from his assortment of aggrieved massage therapists with the largest contract in NFL history? A five-year, fully-guaranteed $230 million reward?
As they would say on Nickelodeon: Slime pays.
Of course Watson is free to earn a living again following a year as a football leper. That isn’t the issue. The issue is his historic reward after a grand jury decided that the evidence was insufficient for a criminal trial. Which does not fall into the he’s-innocent-until-proven-guilty arena.
THE REST OF THE STORY
There have been conflicting reports regard this, but you are probably correct.

Falcons trading Matt Ryan to Colts in another huge quarterback move

Updated
The Colts are making have successfully landed a franchise quarterback.
Matt Ryan will leave the Falcons — who he has played for since his NFL career began 14 seasons ago — for Indianapolis.
Earlier this offseason, the Colts traded Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders. Since then, the Colts had been pursuing Ryan though discussions reportedly were kept quiet just in case the deal fell through, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
In addition, Russini reports that Ryan does not have a no-trade clause and had the option of “refusing to go.”

Carsterio has so many options open to him with so many picks.If there’s a prospect the Texans like that is falling, it’s an extra chip to use to trade up.
@Texian have you updated the value of this trade?This is what our dear ole Aaron Wilson just posted..............I'm especially excited about our 2022 "further rounder"!!!!!!!
Deshaun Watson official trade details
Here are the updated terms with the Houston Texans netting six draft picks and sending a sixth-round pick in 2024 to the Cleveland Browns instead of a fifth-round selection:
Previously, it was Watson and a 2024 fifth-round pick being traded to the Browns for three first-round draft picks, a 2023 third-round pick, and a 2024 fourth-round pick. He was also signed to a $230 million fully guaranteed contract for the highest guaranteed deal in NFL history.
- Houston Trades:
- QB Deshaun Watson
- 2024 sixth-rounder
- Cleveland Trades:
- 2022 first-rounder (13th overall)
- 2022 further rounder (107th overall)
- 2023 first-rounder
- 2023 third-rounder
- 2024 first-rounder
- 2024 fourth-rounder
I've been watching and waiting!@Texian have you updated the value of this trade?
Wrong. Players love the fact Watson has opened the door to fully guaranteed contracts. This is something they've worked for decades to get.Also, Watson will face resentment amongst players.
I've been watching and waiting!
Sometimes I think he is just looking for attention.
Yeah you are going to have QBs who point to this and say “that guy had 22 lawsuits, I stay out of trouble now I want My guaranteed money.” Owners must be pissed. Also, Watson will face resentment amongst players.
And y’all aren’t shy about giving it to him, or the other troll.I've been watching and waiting!
Sometimes I think he is just looking for attention.
For all the doubts I had about how Houston would handle this nuclear potato, hats off to Caserio. If he does nothing else of value during his time as their GM, he managed to find not just the greater fool, but the greatest fool. You’re witnessing what could have been your team up in the Great Lakes, Texans fans.
Who is the other one?And y’all aren’t shy about giving it to him, or the other troll.
