I know, right? Like, don't tease us like that!
In case you needed a reason to like Clowney less…
Jadeveon Clowney re-signed with Cleveland Browns so he could play again with Deshaun Watson
Clowney played for Houston, Seattle, and Tennessee, so I've basically disliked him his whole career. Now I have a reason besides playing for division rivals.
The Washington Post is reporting that the NFL will "probably" seek a full year suspension for Deshaun Watson.
The league supposedly wants it sorted out before training camp, but it's going to become a battle between the league and the player's union. The lack of punishment dealt out to owners with sexual misconduct issues will be a primary defense point for the union side.
Different spanks for different ranks
Hypothetically how does that even work? What happens when you don't have the cap space to sign 53 league minimum contracts + practice squad?
He is being referred to as Deshaun Cosby in certain places, and I think I am going to keep that going.
Hey now, Cosby had a bigger slap on the wrist than taking a year off of work. Don't lump him in with Cosby.
Watson got the NFL's first MLB/NBA style contract, but uh-oh, there's no such thing as buyouts in the NFL!
I'm a little fuzzy on MLB/NBA shenanigans, but why would Watson ever accept a buyout when he has $230M guaranteed?
Dammit, I caught up on this thread because Claypool's decided that he's going to start dropping sound bites, but it's actually a good interview.
> I know I'm a top-3 receiver.
on your team?
Watson reaches settlement on 20 of the 24 civil lawsuits.
One of the cases that did not settle is the lawsuit of the first plaintiff to sue Watson, Ashley Solis. Buzbee said he looks forward to trying her case and the others remaining active in due course.
He has the cash to do it, until he doesn't.
Dee and Jimmy be writing checks.

But they spoke to women about the decision. Lots of women! None of the accusers, but other women. Women are all the same, right?
It's a day of settlements. Vince McMahon and the XFL have settled the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former commissioner Oliver Luck.
Vince was settling one problem to focus on the other one.
Gronk retires. For all the speculation he'll get the itch and join after training camp, I hope he's done and he walks away with what remains of his health.
I guess he saw the writing on the wall when they drafted Ko Kieft.

It couldn't possibly be due to the TE they drafted two rounds before Kieft, could it?
Nah, that scrub went to Washington.

*looks at Antoine Winfield Jr.&
Well, yeah, their track record in drafting Gophers certainly points to . . .
*looks at Tyler Johnson*
You know, never mind.

What? Tampa got plenty out of him. He was a decent 2nd-line center, 50 point guy for a few solid years.
PAIN
EDIT: And on that note...

Pfft, what, just because he has glory stats like "receptions" and "touchdowns".
I, honestly, don't think there are any Gopher fans that thought Kieft would get drafted. Still confused by it.
NFL dot com ranks the nine teams that haven't made the playoffs in the past three years (at least) by the chance they'll make the playoffs in 2022.
Best chance: Chargers
Worst chance: Falcons (or Panthers, if they finally pull off the Mayfield trade)
Related: The team with the longest current playoff-less streak is the Jets (11 seasons).
J-E-T-S!
Worst chance: Falcons (or Panthers, if they finally pull off the Mayfield trade)
If the Panthers trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, I reserve the right to bump them up a few spots in this pecking order. Like up to fourth.
If the Panthers trade for Baker Mayfield, I reserve the right to drop them down a few spots in this pecking order. Like down to ninth.
This writer gets it.
Trade for Jimmy! He'll take you to the neighborhood of the mountaintop!
J-E-T-S!
Jaylon Ferguson. Tragic.
Ouch. As a Ravens fan, I have to say the escalation from last year's injury bug pretty well sucks.
