Even though Joe Thomas is not that motivated by MONEY. Its just incentive for him to rehab and work hard to get back to playing shape and finish his contract with us.
Reward.
And good PR
of course the negative view is to think the FO is evil and would only do this to make themselves look good which if you ask me is a TOTAL reach and almost silly.

Factoring in his base salary and bonuses, Thomas is now scheduled to take home $13.5 million in cash in 2018, the highest figure for any NFL offensive lineman. The first question that popped into my head [but apparently no else had the same question] was what happens to that money if Joe retires? The skeptic in me thinks that this might be a PR move concocted by the FO to make themselves look good in the aftermath of last week's nightmare. I read that they were roster bonuses, so half of it he got when he signed and the other half of it he has to show up to camp to get.

I'm not going to attempt to question the motives behind this. They could be genuine or otherwise. Bottom line, it was a good move. Joe deserves it and I'm happy they did this to show their appreciation for the best player on our roster to date.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Love it. And, there's no way he looks like he weighs 312 pounds. I've stood next to him. I've shaken his hand when he was playing - well, not when he was "playing", but you get my drift.
I was amazed at how slim he looked.
He's got no gut. Just muscle I guess.
Glad he's out there doing what he can. A smart person would be taking notes on what JT is telling him.

WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM
my two cents...

He stays right at 300-310 so he is heavier than he looks. Then again Muscle weighs more than fat. 310 lean and mean is far better than 340 fat. The lower weight is also what has helped his knees stay so healthy. He eats really healthy and does yoga to stay limber and flexible too. 310 pound man standing on his neck ... it will blow your mind how strong that man's neck is.
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.
