Regardless of what happens with Watson (methinks he's headed back home to ATL), Baker sounds like a guy who knows his days are numbered in CLE.

Forgive the gossipy news description, but we weren't sure what else to call Mayfield's multi-paragraph message to the people of Cleveland. "I have given this franchise everything I have," Mayfield said. "That is something I have done at every stage, and at every level. And that will not change wherever I take my next snap. Whatever happens ... I just want to say thank you." Alrighty then. The Browns and Mayfield were basically already in open combat before the team met with Deshaun Watson on Tuesday. Now the breach appears irreparable. Not that Mayfield really possesses anything in the way of leverage coming off his dismal 2021. Nevertheless, stay tuned.

They didnt really alter it.
They have a clause about $$ getting voided if he gets nfl policy fined a real possibility based on his past performances.
Cowboys have that clause in everyones contract including gregorys last deal - the only person that doesnt have it is dak.
Gregory wanted it out - they said no - so he left.

It was clear he wasn't their guy when they didn't extend him.

I will say this, if he ends up catching on with another team, he would be advised to keep his trap shut as evidenced by Duke Johnson's tweet retort.

Colts?

Maybe. Personally, I'd rather see Matty Slush there, but that doesn't seem like an option due to the money tied up in him and also presumably due to age.

I still don't get why weed is still outlawed in many states (and, by extension, businesses) despite the fact that alcohol and cigarettes kill WAY more people year in and year out yet both are perfectly legal.

So what happens in Cleveland if Watson picks another team?

Even worse is how many here realize that you can be in a legalized state like "California" but if you happen to be standing on federal land like a park those laws don't apply and it is illegal.

Our government has been dragging their feet on this for decades now, though in a few years when the pot companies get their lobbyist in order to fund the trash in Washington DC, it will most likely be changed then.

After Haslam's comment minutes ago about wanting an adult, that about seals the deal. Garapalo maybe?

TEN has released Julio Jones.

I asked that because I don’t think they’re his top couple choices.

I love it, but the real money isn’t going to be $120 million.

AFC is such an arms race at this point.

Edit- It’s 3/$53 million and then “we’ll see.”

Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
