You're conflating one bad contract on a bad player... with troublesome cap management. The two are not the same and one does not make the other.

Our philosophy means we are in a better position than any other team that would have signed him to a mega-contract and watched him suck and/or not play.

Why? Because we use a 0% platinum Card.


Here's another analogy that pertains:

Two companies have the exact same pay rate and the exact same labor hours per month. One pays people every day at the end of each shift; one pays once per month.

Although they spend the same amount on payroll, one company has an obvious advantage when it comes to financial flexibility.

I'm still not sure how that escapes the fact that if watson gets cut next year the Browns are on the hook to pay 80 million dollars over two years on a QB who is no longer on the roster.

That being not as bad as how bad it would be for other teams in no way means that still isn't a bad thing for the Browns does it?
