I just saw that and was wondering the same. That 18.8 million price tag is an albatross. If Mayfield were in this draft he'd be the #1 QB, by a landslide. May also have to do with owners being pissed at Haslam for the Watson contract.
Browns trade Troy Hill back to the Rams for a 2023 5th rounder
These are usually WAY off but posting to see how accurate...

Clowney re-signed to a 1 year $11 million deal. Now go get an interior D-Lineman.
Supposedly turned down some bigger deals too. Good signing.
He is so good at run defense. Need our LBs to be better/healthy to fill the gaps he creates.

Saw a report that he only resigned because Baker is not coming back.

Had heard that was a condition with Landry too but he went to New Orleans.
Sounds like Njoku will be locked up to a long-term deal shortly.
So Watson claims he only assaulted 19 women.
Maybe less than 20 is only a misdemeanor
Njoku locked up for 4 years, $56.75M, 28M guaranteed. Seems a bit pricey for his limited production but the front office seems to think he's going to take off with Watson at QB and the changes in the offense.
Lifelong Browns fan here.
It is very hard to get behind the team in light of Watson’s issues. It’s not that the rest of the NFL is as pure as the wind-driven snow. It’s just that this appears to be such a flagrant “fuck you” to all that is good and decent. Browns fans will certainly not be able to look down their noses at questionable judgements by other teams (e.g. Rapistberger)

Nope. Had to hear smugness from Yinzer fans for years, laughing at the Browns, while meanwhile they were supporting, and more times than not, defending a rapist.
Am I happy Watson has the allegations against him? Again, nope...but will not find it hard supporting a TEAM that I've rooted for since I was 7 years old and have no plans on giving up on them.

Roethlisberger was never even arrested, much less potentially indicted. The first accusation was complete BS, which seemed to be triggered by a wrongful termination suit. The second was aware of the first, and seemed to be triggered by some angry sorority sisters. Rumor had it she lied to police, which is why it suddenly got dropped like a hot potato. The cops on the scene recognized it for exactly what it was - drunken looseness. Never would have seen the light of day if not for a leak to TMZ (which likely came from said sorority sister). Her interrogation video was publicly released - she definitely wasn't assaulted. Even the DA attributed it all to "bad decisions from too much alcohol". So, no, not rape.
Watson is not even comparable. Actual serial rapists don't just have 1-2 accusations. Watson is a completely different level, Bill Cosby/Harvey Weinstein category. But if believing Roethlisberger is a rapist lets you support Watson, then have at it.
