#CapHell
#KickingTheCan

Are for one of our resident slide-rule savants who has been telling us the "hell" is right around the corner for years... because we constantly "kick the can". I believe his profile is actually a foot kicking a can.

I think we are coming out of cap hell. While it's impossible to say, I do wonder if we would've been more apt to spend on a short-term FA QB if we didn't have so much tied up in Watson. I'd like to think we would've spent more to shore up the Oline.

He wasn't the only one. Our other resident "I like to pick fights & twist people's words" was also routinely propping this nonsense up.

We were never in cap hell and aren't now.

I just think the options were extremely limited on the O-line. I do think it will end up being an improvement, but I'm hoping to get better in 2027.

Agree with that. We also have more new blood to work our way through and a season without great expectations. Berry didn't want to do anything foolish in front of that.

And Oober, you're right, in essence Watson is the short-term QB. Can't cut him and the room would be way to crowded if we signed anyone else. If we trade Gabriel or Sanders, that could be a possibility.

Given the Line play and the WR play, I'm not sure we have anything to compare., As an offense, we just weren't good and with those problems so evident, I'm not sure we know who's the best.....

When did you do that?

It's being reported that Judkins is officially a "full-go" for Training Camp.

Remembering back to the game where he went down with the knee/leg, this is absolutely phenomenal.

Browns Sign Grant Delpit to a 3-yr extension

https://nfltraderumors.co/breaking-browns-signing-s-grant-delpit-to-three-year-extension/

Can't believe we've been able to extend Ward to a deal that has made him the highest paid DB and Delpit within 24 hours in all the #CapHell we're in!

Lots of good news on injury fronts!!

These deals didn't change any money for 2026. What it did was extend Ward, who was already signed through 2027, through 2029. All new money is coming in years 27-29, When we get some relief on Watson's deal. I think what this tells me is, the Browns will be all in on a rookie QB or One of the (3) already on the roster in Sanders, Gabriel and Green, who are all on low money rookie deals. Sanders and Gabriel will be coming off their rookie deals in 2029, which is the last year of these contracts and Green is signed through 2030, if he makes the roster.

Delpit is a new 3 year deal that commences in 2027 and runs through 2029.

Myles money is only half of what it would have been in 2027, so some of his money was probably calculated into these deals.

Verse is still on his rookie deal through 2027 and then the 5th year option in 2028, so I don't really know of any player now that is in line for a new deal by the end of this year OR the next. I think everyone is signed through 2028. Jerry Jeudy and Watson are the only other major players with expiring contracts before 2028, Watson after this year and Jeudy after 2027, which right now I don't see him getting extended..Some minor contracts that can be looked at are Maliek Collins and special teams. Collins is 31 now, so he probably isn't in the future plans for the Browns. Only other one of note is Dawand Jones, who I don't think anyone is losing sleep over.

I didn't remember Fannin getting injured. Hope it doesn't linger

Kickin' two cans down the road at once? Stupid can kickers!

Jadeveon Clowney was in the house today.

Here's the basic pulse of the convo surrounding that visit...
