Mike Tanenbaum put this one on the table,and I am not sure what to make of it...
DJ for Deshaun and a 2nd
DW has 3 yrs left at $50MM which is fully guaranteed.
My gut says no....
What say the P-nut Gallery?
From what I remember, Collins...
1. mistakenly thought he had an n-word pass with Muhsin Muhammed because he and other Carolina receivers jokingly called each other racial slurs. He did not, and they almost came to blows.
2. was an alcoholic
Was there anything else that I'm missing? Is it that vs. serial sexual coercion?
I can see why people would be willing to give Collins a chance and not Watson. Those are different levels of seriousness imv.

On top of that, Collins wasn't carrying a $63 annual million cap hit for three more years.

I'd throw in that social media wasn't really a thing back then and there wasn't as much backlash to deal with when bringing in a controversial player.
Every nfl owner is going to sign off on the QB. Doesn’t mean Mara is choosing the qb. And it also doesn’t mean he’s choosing players. He’s the owner for fuck’s sake. The qb is basically the face of the team. Of course the owner has say there. Again, it doesn’t mean Mara is scouting and dictating which qb is drafted or brought in nor does it mean he’s dictating who stays.
Think.
I can't root for Watson. I'd have to take a break from following the
One, he still hasn't looked like the same player. Two, injuries are a concern for him as well. Three, his off the field problems. Four, his deal is worse than Jones.
RE: Even if Watson didn't have the off field bullshit
His record was 5-1 this year as a starter and only had one good game. The Browns have a terrific supporting cast and he still hasn't lived up to even half of what his contract is.
^This. I saw most of that exchange this morning, and the other three panelists correctly said this would be a terrible trade for the Giants. And that was just because of Watson's health and his monstrous contract. As someone else said, there is no way in hell Mara would let Watson be the "face" of this franchise.
Even if you want to overlook Watson offenses, he’s been awful since coming back. Besides, there is a less than zero chance John Mara signs off on replacing St Daniel with a sex offender.
Well Watson would be a trade for a 50 mill a year contract and Collins was a cheap free agent acquisition signing... So yea they are similar moves I guess.
But I get the idea you are insinuating something else.
And most of all, there is NFW Mara is going to have Watson as the face of the franchise at QB. This is definitely where he'd pull the ownership card.
Hell, I recall he shot this idea down a few years ago...
:-)
This is typical 'look at me' ESPN off-season BS.
It's insane.
Does it even make sense to lock in to him at $50mm guaranteed for 3 yrs,with our porous OL??

Let me help you out. Christian Peter would be the guy you would want to use as the example here.
Good. Watson is a creep. An owner has every right to veto that move.
They can keep Watson, Jones can stay in NY, and they can just give up the 2.

I think Watson was getting closer last year before the injury. But there are certainly still doubts.
And while Watson isn't fat, but he's gotten thicker. I think it would be wise for him to get leaner this offseason.
His record was 5-1 this year as a starter and only had one good game. The Browns have a terrific supporting cast and he still hasn't lived up to even half of what his contract is.
Oh and he's a rapist.

I finally won most of them over that Jones is bad but Watson is worse and now people want to trade for that contract? holy shit.

Lesser of two evils. By far.
How about paying $60MM++ for Aaron bleepin Rodgers and have him play three four snaps for us in a season???
Why would anyone take on the player (at this point), the person, and possibly the worst contract in NFL history?
Giants would have a dead cap hit of 23M and 22M in 24'/25.
Giants would be responsible for 46M in salary for Watson for 3 years. So in 2025:
22M dead cap hit for Jones
46M salary for Watson
68M tied to Watson. Doesn't seem feasible for a guy that sucked.
As for the proposal, no. Beyond on his issues with women, he has looked terrible. I'm not sure he regains for. I sure wouldn't bet on it
Well Watson would be a trade for a 50 mill a year contract and Collins was a cheap free agent acquisition signing... So yea they are similar moves I guess.
But I get the idea you are insinuating something else.
The front office would NEVER take on Watson, both for ethical and financial reasons
The OL matters.
Yes, get an elite QB when available. But 2024? 2025? 2026?
It likely will take 1 to 2 years to build a functional line.
I will agree that there are many possible franchise QBs this year, where there likely won't be as many in the following couple of years.
