Great now I have to find a way to root for Wolfe while rooting against his team. I also need to pray for his family since they are surrounded by Browns AND Steeler fans lol Wolfe is a local guy and a class act. Wish we had him. . Yes he is. He and jamin pastore donated $1,000,000 to Beaver Local Schools back in January.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Yes, it was sarcasm over what has been a popular myth that has been perpetrated on the board. I was talking to another one of our posters via text. I said the same thing when he spoke of trading for Trent Williams. I told him the huge contract he would demand would be an obstacle down the road when he mentioned us having so much cap space.

I would say calling it a popular myth is overstating it. Just because one or two people say something doesn’t mean people believe it. I think that most people know that we aren’t in cap hell.

It was more of a generalization. Breaking things down into categories we certainly had bright spots. Better talent, good in cap space. But for those who wished not to address things in terms of specifics, a general mess sounded better to them.

Lol KC’s cap space is funny to look at
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I would be curious to see who said we are in cap hell. And why they think that.
That being said, since our cap space is NOT a mess, I really wouldn't go crazy this season. We spent quite a bit over the salary cap last season with little to show. I really wouldn't spend too much more this offseason in order to save our cap space.
Or if we do, perhaps more releases/trades are in our future.

I can think of a WR that can be released next year with no dead cap money they will free up a substantial sum to begin re-signing some of corner pieces. If need be

OBJ, can be released or traded before 2021 season and have zero dead money on cap. I think we can even trade him in2020 and only have about 4 Mill dead cap

Generally I agree with that, however if push comes to shove and say a cornerstone of the defense ( whoever you may think that is) needs to be signed , I'm taking about any other position over a WR. And yeah, a trade is a better way than a direct release.

If it's another year of injuries (would it be 4 years running?), underwhelming performance, and distractions.....it should be an easy decision, IMO. It sucks, the guy will only be 28 at the end of this season and he is extremely talented but there is alot of other stuff that comes with him, unfortunately. Hopefully this is a rebound year.

I think a lot of people just don't like OBJ. I have seen various trade speculation and talk about how he was a distraction. I don't think he was a distraction. Shoes? Watch? LMAO......the players don't care about that crap.
I do think Baker's mouth was a distraction. I also think he better play a lot better than he did this past year. The combination of his poor play and constant drama is not good for the team.
I still have hope that he plays better and learns to stop saying dumb and distracting things, but it's time to do it. Now!

Some make excuses to claim one is a distraction while they make excuses why the other one is not a distraction. The have your cake and eat it too gang.

I haven’t seen anyone say those exact words. I was talking about people (or maybe person) who think our cap is a mess. I don’t know who has said that but I have seen it posted on here. Sorry if my word choices added to any confusion. My point remains. Just because someone says something that is not true doesn’t mean that it’s a popular myth. I think most of us realize we are fine when it comes to the cap.

I dunno about all that.... but for me, he's a beast WR that is at the front end of his prime years. He managed to put up 1k yards despite being dinged all year and playing within a dumpster fire of an offense with a QB that regressed. I'm also not quite ready to slap the 'injury-prone' label on him, but I can understand someone's POV that is.
Yes, he was disappointing last year, but so was just about everyone, and the main reason(s) were not within his control.
Yes, he's a diva... he's an elite NFL WR. This shouldn't be a shock.

I think the shoes/watch/etc WOULD have been a distraction if our coaching staff didn't eclipse all that with their own ish.

I do think they care about some of the things Baker said. But, somehow saying OBJ caused distractions is talking football and saying Baker caused distractions is having an agenda. And y'all just let it go. Pure Football.
