Myles Garret has a new deal with the Browns

[Grogan14]

Browns keep wildly spending money with no good results.
As far as Garrett goes, his greed knows no bounds and Haslam is stupid enough to fall for it.
What a terrible culture the Browns have established

The stupidity in them trading for Watson was the ultimate in sports stupidity. Guys a 200 million backup.

It is getting out of hand, but how do you stop it?

It’s too late, but they can slow it down by implementing what the NBA does. Players have to hit certain markers in order to get top contracts. Mediocre players get mediocre contracts. A guy like Trey Flowers wouldn’t have been able to get a then top 3 contract for a DE. Trevor Lawrence doesn’t get his deal nor does the latest no name G in Robert Hunt.

Cap goes up every year, we know this, idk why we are still kidding ourselves that teams will regret some of these contracts. We've been doing it here for years. People thought the Mahomes contract was insane, now it's a steal.

I was wondering how this will work out with Purdy (sorry if OT) i.e. do they keep giving the latest QB "to be paid" the new highest value? No doubt Purdy does get paid but maybe it's time to settle on a sensible number rather than a record breaking one.

It’s a bargain now, but they had to deal Hill shortly after to Miami and now traded Thuney. Their roster is deteriorating.

regarding what?
Sorry came in late and I am intrigued.

That it would take the NFL (The Owners) to make drastic changes, beginning with the next CBA.

Purdy is playing for his contract this season. He got exposed pretty badly when he doesn’t have an entire pro bowl roster at his disposal last season.

Sorry, I skim and don't read every post.

No worries D.

When a non QB is making QB money, there’s clearly a problem the NFL needs to address.

We gave BB **** for placing a value on a player and sticking to it, but that is what it would take to end this craziness.

BB always saw the value in the player of how he saw him as a fit in the organization.

Owners need to smarten up and actually make good business decisions

One would think the owners, who supposedly made their money by being good businessmen, would know how to make good business decisions. Yeah, there are “Thanks Dad” owners like Woody Johnson and Mark Davis and Jim Irsay who just inherited their wealth. But there are many self-made people in the group, and we see them perpetuating the problem, like Halsam and Jerry Jones.

If the dynasty Pats players played in this generation, guys like Brady, Seymour Wilfork and Gronk are leaving after their initial rookie deals.

We should be thankful the played in a different era. This new era is bad news.

I crucified him for letting Jakobi walk but if he allowed his value system an exception for one then all would expect it.

You have to be very, very careful with the metrics because otherwise you might have players who are stat chasing at the expense of playing within the scheme. It’s a lot easier in the NBA where the rosters are a lot smaller and the stats tend to directly correspond to winning. The NFL is the ultimate team sport and many times it’s difficult to parse things apart.

I'm confused about a couple things?

1st) why are we bashing this? He should get paid basically this much as one of the best defenders in the NFL. The league brings in so much cash I'm never going to criticize a player for getting his.

2nd) What does this mean for the Browns and a QB. My initial thought is they have no choice now but to get a cost controlled rookie to play QB. But my next thought was they might be so tied up they have no choice but to wait out Watson and hope he turns it around when he's healthy.

He must value money way more than winning. Because there is no QB they can draft/sign/trade for that will get them out of the North cellar.

perhaps you think that he should have given up $10M AAV to sign with another team.

Money talks.

Most athletes value money over winning - and I don’t blame them.

And when an athlete comes out and says he wants to play for a winner, 99% of the time it’s nothing but a negotiating ploy to get more money.
