I share the only life Angela hello Rich Eisen resides in bonuses H-shell and final program suddenly got four more reeking with us 20 minutes ago just towards the land of the previous and I was running through different possibilities for making me feel that I made the King Watson may only be suspended for you to speculate attending would make the most sense for rounds at Baker Mayfield to put their differences aside and work it out. Baker is the placeholder, the interim starter. Watson comes back bigger goes back to the bench.

Baker has an opportunity to show his value for the next contract. He's playing for and as I ordered all that brilliant insights change when I stepped aside for commercial just towards the end of that monologue news broke and now it's official from both the Panthers and the Browns Baker Mayfield has been traded from Cleveland to Carolina now because it's effectively a rental just the one year deal. Cleveland is getting a return the game away.

2024 conditional fifth round draft pick. So you go from going all in to take Baker with the number one overall pick and you get a conditional fifth round pick in return, but Cleveland was desperate and that's even more evident based on the financial details all of these particulars coming from NFL network for rich is the face of NFL media on prime Weber Emperor Rich Eisen. You will react to Baker Mayfield moving on from Cleveland to Carolina give me a call 1844204 Rich hit me up on Twitter, BW, Weber Weber with two bees again.

I wish I could claim to be some master architect that when I created the format for today. I left the final hour gets free for your reaction, but it just me and you. The rest of the way so I would like to get your perspective. We took a phone call for some of ever had a phone call as a fillet host on the Rich Eisen show in the last hour so you want to chime in.

You can give me a call. Otherwise, it's me breaking down this deal also.

Now what Cleveland does moving forward and I won't abandon the MBA entirely will wrap up the program little bit more Kevin Durrant's and Tyree Irving conversation but giving you the financial particulars.

Baker was due 18.8 million bucks. Wrapping up the rookie contract is number one overall pick. According NFL network Browns are getting each tenant half million bucks are paying tenant have million of Baker salary. The Panthers get a kick in 5 million at Baker was so desperate and ready to get out of Cleveland he opted to trim 3 1/2 million dollars off his base salary similar to what happened with Odell Beckham Junior member.

He agreed to leave some money on the table when he got out of Cleveland and wound up with file ramp so let's start from the Carolina perspective.

Now you have the number one overall pick from the 2018.

Draft and Baker Mayfield and the number three pick in Sam Donald, both of whom are on their second teams.

Baker is an upgrade over Sam Donald. I guess the spin from Carolina when we hear from that rule and the folks the matter is well will be a competition to see who the starting quarterback is, but that should be Baker Mayfield. He is an upgrade over Sam, Donald and I had a lot of questions about Sam and now I can be a proud US the alarm after I bashed my graduate school alma mater in the first out of the shower talking college football consolidation would be few tech comfortable news.com. I have a lot of doubts about Donald even when he put up giant numbers and USC because of his ball security issues as we say in NFL combine lingo not only throwing too many interceptions. He just fumbled away too much. Well, what is Baker may Bill do. He is a turnover machine parts that he's better than Sam Carolina still in the rebuild so much of it hinging on the health of Chris McCaffrey another pack 12 mother Stanford gotten all my academic prowess is coming together. Not that you care so that's the question for Baker and his viability is he going to have a healthy Chris McCaffrey for the majority of the season. Unfortunately, because Christian is slight. He's been banged up way too much. Think about the rest of the division. Now the Baker's going to be competing in the NFC South yachts Tom Brady I've heard he's pretty good in Tampa Bay Atlanta is a muddled mess. So when Baker takes on the Falcons will be head-to-head with Marcus Marriott up and the saints opted not to get involved in the Baker Mayfield sweepstakes there going with James Winston, hoping he could stay healthier if were just doing the power rankings within that division on the bigger James Winston fan than a lot of people still coming off the injury and we know his penchant for turnovers. Member the 30 for 30 he had his last year in Tampa before they got the goat and Tom Brady 30 touchdowns and 30 pics you can make an argument. If you're Baker fan boy or if you believe a Baker morn. I do. He's now the second best quarterback in that division. Now there's a massive drop off obviously between Tom Brady and everybody else but now we need to see more out of Baker. We need to see him stay healthy and we need to see him clean up all the errors in his game because a lot of the problems for Baker Mayfield are self-inflicted that he's just too reckless. He takes too many chances and I know if you're Baker fan and there's a lot of them out there who are very passionate you to tell me. None of the no he's got that far. VM quality the gunslinger, throw it in the tight windows and I would say that is a massive reach but you can believe whatever you want to and I am not overlooking just in the moments I'm going back and trying to do this in real time. I didn't script out 19 pages on my thoughts about Baker Mayfield leaving because I didn't think he would leave until after there was clarity about the Shaw Watsons availability with the league suspension looming, but Baker Mayfield had a terrific year.

Couple seasons ago I didn't forget that it didn't work in Cleveland because he got hurt. Clearly there were personality issues within that locker room so can he modify his approach and will connected to the MBA.

He's got a second chance.

I have my doubts because justice Tyree Irving has been problematic since he decided he no longer wanted to play in the shadow of Lebron James in Cleveland force his way out of Boston. No trying to force his way out of Brooklyn. People can change. They can make revisions they can alter their mindset and their decision-making, but you wore what you consistently do and for Baker so much of his success because he's limited physically has been a byproduct of his belief that he and he alone can get it done with the force of his personality and if that means he's prickly to people in the locker room.

So be it.

I am Baker Mayfield and I got here largely on my own because I'm not as fast as you so lust always you lose fast run away from the cops that Grady black-and-white video back on campus with Oklahoma so can Baker be more accommodating. Is he going to wear out Carolina the way he wore out Cleveland well he's got a lot of motivation to fit in because he's playing for the next contract and he showing flexibility by leaving 3 1/2 million bucks on the table.

Remember 18.8 is the number I Cleveland showing how much they want to get rid of them by eating 10 of the half-million. So for Carolina you're getting the former number one overall pick for 5 million bucks and you gave up a conditional fifth-round pick. That's not a lot assets in return. And it tells you what we knew to be true, Sam, Donald. Unfortunately, because I've met Sam in a couple settings I should color my analysis and it does not just told you I didn't think you be that good coming out USC. He's a nice dude.

He's a team oriented guy, very low-key, but it didn't work out with the Jets and it was a mixed bag. As you think about the Carolina experience. So that's the Baker's side of the ledger. I don't should know. It's almost like the NFL had an inkling this was coming.

I realize the schedule is based on the rotation of the visions taken on those visions, but if you don't have the schedule in front of me that's very fortuitous, very lucky in the big were Wednesday. I printed out the schedule because I was going through the potential slate of games with Sean Watson misses the first eight contests week one Sunday, September 11 at Carolina here come your Cleveland Browns game just got far more interesting on CBS.

Maybe Nancy Romo will show up. Jim look at him. He looked so quick and I Carolina why I'm not a Romo fan is much as you are. I like Tony.

Look, I'd love to have his agent or his bank account. He's just a little too chatty for me but the public is never wrong so that now becomes must-see TV. Carolina and Cleveland week one in North Carolina. The Baker Mayfield bowl on prime Weber infrared Chazen. It's the rich eyes and show you can give me your thoughts on Baker now taking his talents to the NFC South, but picking up the phone 184-4204 rich or hit me up on twitter BW Weber Weber were tubings.

That's the Carolina point of view. Now let's focus on Cleveland and it's hard to give you a firm analysis because I don't know how long to Sean Watson is going to have to sit and I mentioned it's a modified now.

Suspension policy the discipline being handled a little bit differently in the NFL.

They wanted to create the appearance of more fairness in their agreement with the NFL PA so it went to 1/3 party, and in this case the Watson situation is being handled by a former federal judge in Judge Sue L.

Robinson. I don't think it's a coincidence, from a standpoint of optics that a woman was chosen and a woman should be in that room.

Given the severity of the allegations against the Sean Watson but unfortunately sports talk radio asked me to opine on things that we don't know how to play out right. If a filament on a football Friday I'm giving you my predictions who's winning by how much. That's a game note to you. It might be sports investing. You might have a few bucks on the LIBOR talking about a legal situation in a football setting but were talking about due process were talking about an NFL investigation. There's a lot going on here that does not lend itself to even I think I'm a semi-intelligent sports talk radio host trying to predict what this federal judge is going to do, but I can give you potential outcomes and I did it in the last hour. There is a growing notion that there might be a less severe penalty and this is informed speculation into the Sean Watson case based on how the NFL frame their evidence they limited their investigation, not to the entire pool over 20 people with the accusations member. The New York Times had to report that Watson sought out other than 60 different massage therapist there talking about a smaller group of people here are so limited evidence and the raw reports that none of the accusers allege physical violence or coercion by the Sean Watson what he did was in their view, abhorrence, and no person should be subjected to it, but it wasn't physical violence and some of this is important based on the details of the personal conduct policy. So I'm giving you one path I don't think it's the likely outcome but it's viable that Watson's out for 8 to 10 games.

Well, it seems the Browns now are very comfortable going with Jacoby reset and we know who Jacoby is, I'd say middle-of-the-road body of work you get points for hanging around the league this long and we know what he did in New England and with the Colts in a world he's fine. He is a pedestrian quarterback.

He's knocking amuck it up too much. There is not much of an upside but game manager is not always a negative criticism but preset is more athletic than that, but he does not radically transform a game if you if you want preset to be effective, it is have a high completion rate minimize the turnovers and command the office and he is done all those things in the past so there's no question that he could be a viable placeholder but now what if Watson is out for the entire year is preset really get to be the guy for the entire season.

I'm not sure. And as we expand the focus what about Jimmy go below. No Jimmy drop below there is a wait-and-see component to his situation because remember he elected to have the shoulder procedure thing shoulder surgery is challenging for me. I have a wonderful Callaway read to get to.

So I try to pace myself baccarat below right now is not 100% according reports she's trending in the right direction until he's throwing on a practice field or better yet, maybe in a cameo in a preseason game or no real football setting. Nobody's making a trade for him so as we continue with our live analysis of the Baker Mayfield situation would Cleveland be in the market for Jimmy gravel because it's clear San Francisco is ready to start the tray Lance era on prime Weber and four rich eyes and you can give me your thoughts on everything going on now with Carolina and Cleveland. If you're just joining us, it's official, Baker Mayfield has been traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Carolina Panthers in return, the Browns get a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick. That's it for the former number one overall pick. Although heading into the final year of his contract and Cleveland was so ready to say goodbye to Baker their GNU eat 10 1/2 million bucks of a contract. Originally scheduled to pay Mayfield 18.8 million Mayfield so ready to get out of Cleveland. He's agreed to waive 3 1/2 million bucks off the base salary. So the Panthers only on the hook for 5 million bucks and 1/5 round draft pick Nelly a Mayfield an upgrade over Sam, Donald, to be sure, but I'm not sure how much better and how much further that gets Carolina in the NFC South.

BW Weber Weber would to be assigned to spell it out in case you might think it's Weaver states plus if you say something over and over and over again. It might just register so that is one of my radio fallbacks. Weber would to B's and occasionally if I can be self-promotional.

I get lucky and the sports talk radio gods hand me a gift now. I did not want to do necessarily an hour and 15 minutes on Baker Mayfield. Had I been the safe. My pal Dan Schwartzman who's in tomorrow. I would've led each hour with it, but when you're breaking news mode and I realize the audience is always changing. In another card so I Hammer the details too frequently. It happened within the last 50 minutes. Just as I was wrapping up an eloquent monologue stating all the obvious reasons that the Browns should hang onto Baker Mayfield and use them as the interim starter with the hope that the Sean Watson might only be suspended only corn quotes 8 to 10 games and it is interesting the Browns are deciding to make this move. Now I'll give you my explanation for the reasoning coming up but if you don't know the details Baker's running Cleveland ends today liberated just a couple days after Independence Day, former number one overall pick on his way to Carolina in return. Browns are getting a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick that virtually nothing.

Baker's dinner show up as soon as tomorrow to pass the physical memory has been banged up, but presumably he's okay physically and the financial part is fascinating. He was due 18.8 million bucks. Wrapping up the rookie deal is the former number one overall pick Browns are going to assume the just and eat 10 1/2 million bucks this season. Think about the money that owner Jimmy Haslam is doling out in the process though. Ideally, more research article network pointing out that by paying the tenant have million bucks this year to Baker directly.

They also pick up $8 million in salary cap space because the Panthers are paying Mayfield $5 million and Mayfield is so desperate to find a new team to play for.

He's agreed to knock off 3 1/2 million bucks off is so so it works out for Baker in terms of places he could've gone and I've had this conversation with you on a variety of platforms. It talked about it on Memorial day.

Carolina always made the most sense to me.

I don't know what Seattle is doing all candor, and now it's very clear they're taking you cannot tell me under any logical explanation that heading into training camp with the cortical quarterback competition between Gino Smith.

Andrew Locke is getting this team anywhere at the same time. Maybe they're waiting for Jimmy garrotte below and that's the other moving piece here, but the first step is we have to get clarity about the status of the Sean Watson and much like the Kevin Durand's and Tyree Irving conversation that dominated our program together. On July 4 and I spent the majority of the show prior to the Baker Mayfield news shopping up.

I don't know that were to get quick resolution in the Sean Watson matter because now it's up to the judge who's handling the league discipline to come up with her finding presumably she's going to be meticulous about about Judge Sue L. Robinson. So nothing says she has to give any definitive word Monday next Thursday just because we want it now. The league I'm sure behind the scene said as part of you agreeing to be our for lack of better term football magistrate. We need your finding before training camp.

We have to come up with a resolution and this speaks to the point I made not too long ago on the show phone, if rich on prime Weber info Rich Eisen conversation heating up on twitter, let's BW Weber Weber would to B's. Should the NFL have acted sooner and the Sean Watson case taking him away from the microphone because everything he has said has made the situation even more muddled. I know he's got a balancing act because he claims he did nothing wrong but he doesn't want to come across as on empathetic. There are better than 20 people who accuse him of very serious wrongdoing and he doesn't want to push them aside.

At the same time does want to say anything that would be an admission of guilt. So I don't know why Watson was ever permitted to be at an NFL facility. The answer to all of this would've been using the Commissioner example list and I know Roger Caddell said that is only for players facing criminal charges. And this is all civil and remember to grand juries in Texas declined to handle charges against Sean Watson, so he's not accused these for now, unless something changes of any crimes.

This is NFL justice. But remember, Ben Roethlisberger was never charged nor indicted with anything he got six games knockdown before you know about the Ezekiel Elliott case similar precedent for Watson but because of the sheer enormity.

The overall total of the accusations.

The league's been leaking to reporters in the know that they are looking for a year-long suspension or indefinite suspension until there is resolution of all the civil cases.

There are some people within the power structure of the NFL. The don't want to seem to Sean Watson play until we get to the end of that process and civil litigation takes a long time. There are still courts that are backed up from all the covert pausing that were not so that's what this Watson topic is so multi-layered and do my best to take you through it in real time because I did not think would be talk about Baker Mayfield. Today I I had it as my general thoughts but I didn't think that we would have the breaking news now Watson suspended for the entire season. Whenever we find that out that I think changes the dynamic of the Cleveland Browns and it is also coupled with the timetable for Jimmy garrotte below because he's coming back from a significant procedure. Don't mess around with shoulders in the National Football League. So until he is demonstrably healthy.

Nobody's going to step in and make that deal for garrotte below and Cleveland may have the view they don't have to do anything until they find out how long Watson's got a set so I think you were to come up with the rational explanation, clearly the Baker Mayfield deal came down to this. Cleveland was tired of Baker and he was tired of the organization. It was time for a divorce because when I went through that schedule for the first eight games.

If there was any confidence within the Brown organization that Watson is not in a deal with a suspension lengthier than the first two big chunks of the regular season, they might've been inclined to make up with Baker and have him there just to hold the offense together. Instead, it was irreconcilable like my dear parents, after 25 years. I thought that was wonderful. You married 25 years and you just wake up one day and say not anymore.

The marriage did not last as long between Baker and Cleveland so we can say that with certainty that was the catalyst to get this deal done today at both sides walk away with a degree of unhappiness.

They're happy not to be together anymore but Baker was so motivated to get out of Ohio. He's given up three nabbed million of his salary that's due and the Browns are eaten Telenav million at Carolinas only given 5 million bucks and the conditional fifth-round pick, so the Baker side of this matter is more straightforward but the Cleveland situation remains very hazy and I can't tell you why no one supposed to have all the answers. I have a microphone and you will listen to me. I can't tell you when there's going to be resolution when it comes to the Sean Watson because the league doesn't know the Browns don't know nobody does. Now back to Jimmy Haslam who certainly did not win any friends in the most exclusive club in all of sports.

The 31 ownership groups minus the Packers.

Of course, publicly held in the National Football League when Haslam spent that truckstop money to change the entire financial landscape of the NFL when he gave the Sean Watson, a fully guaranteed contract and a lot of owners beyond saying Jimmy what did you do because now I have to deal with these negotiations had a wonder. Okay, if you write that check injured in a fully guaranteed all lock her cousins got paid by the Minnesota Vikings every dollar guaranteed because while he is nothing more than a middle-of-the-road quarterback Kirk cousins as the land and the financial Hall of Fame but there was, and I keep in touch with people connected to league.

I'm not pretending to be an NFL insider, but I did have a stent in NFL network did last as long as bigger than Cleveland. There was a view if the Browns are going to do this widely doing it with the Sean Watson in no way criticizing him as a quarterback, but because of the legal jeopardy. At the time that I got clarified more to the point just from a football perspective. All of the complexity and ambiguity as to when he would play again, a reminder and play all of last year and there's a real possibility he may play in this year and they were talking about two full seasons without the Sean Watson so as we wrap up the program on the call inaudible you had enough of Kevin Durrant and Kylie Irving Dan Schwartzman is touted he'll get you back to the MBA tomorrow. I know reveling in the fact we can do breaking news.

I had to do a live obituary in real time. Speaking of Cleveland Browns fans.

We got the sad news in 2012.

The motel it passed away. I know some Cleveland fans were not that disappointed considering a move the franchise to Baltimore but I'm I'm reminded of that day, and if full networking I'm riffing about art motel when a complicated legacy and will driving forces behind what I football I enjoy coming up with this kind of content because it helps me also clarify my thoughts. So thank you for hanging with me. I know that were taking a twisting record together, but I'm trying to check all the boxes here so straightahead will make it 60 minutes of nothing but football talking more about what the reasonable expectations. If Jacoby bro set is the starter eight games the entire season. And what about Jimmy garrotte below. Could he be the answer.

If Watson has to sit the entire season.

Could Jimmy G make his way from the San Francisco Bay Area to Cleveland, Ohio, much more to get to. Thanks for sharing part of your Wednesday with us. I am Brian Weber into rich Isaac. It's the rich as my liver back with you in for rich eyes.

What suddenly became a dynamic all evolving notable addition of the rich Isaac show jot down the phone number my buddy Dave Schwartzman will be with you tomorrow and Friday fans kinder than me more open the phone calls. Although we did make it today. First time I've ever feel the call of the rich doesn't show 1844204 rich 1-844-204-7424. You want to tweet at me.

After the program I was a big day coming up.

I complained about my sciatica.

Although this makeshift solution really worked just relaying just my limp leg. Hold imagery is getting very colorful here into a plastic trashcan but I'm getting just enough resistance from it and when I woke up this morning I did not get myself a gun, Tony Soprano, my car wouldn't start so I'm going to go get a rental car fabulous to be a sports talk radio host, so I walked in today a bit flustered but hopefully you can tell I have a plan work the plan. It works for you. So I had a whole final hour mapped out. You know what you missed. More thoughts on the destruction of tradition and college football. I had a great say comparing baseball needing to be open-minded and finally go to electronic balls and strikes based on how well that same technology works Wimbledon all by the way, if you care about America tennis the American number one Taylor Fritz gave Ralph you look dull all he could remember if you briefly know any about tennis now at the slams no more is normal. Who 70 to 68 in the final set a 10 point match tiebreaker ruffle one effectively on one leg moving up the semis in a juicy match against Nick curios but all this is going on and then the Baker Mayfield news broke about an hour ago, just as I had spent 15 minutes talking about Baker and why the Browns should come to some sort of compromise put their differences aside and have him hang around for another year because they need an insurance policy with all of the uncertainty connected to the Sean Watson but like many things I was wrong, let me say it slowly so my terrific technical producer or Martinez can come up with a drop Brian Weber. I was wrong. Clearly, Cleveland said Baker. We've had enough and in fact we are so ready to get rid of you working to eat tenant have million dollars of your salary and working to take a conditional fifth round pick in return for the former number one overall pick. Let's mix sports do have to go through the hall, the Danny Ainge in Utah got for Rudy go bare. If memory serves, Rudy go bare was not the number one overall pick. I know it's different sports, but you get the point I'm making here. Cleveland said audios and Baker was ready for. In fact, he backed it up financially.

He's agreeing to say goodbye to three that have million bucks of the base salary meeting Carolina get some for 5 million bucks at a conditional fifth round pick Panthers will take a step in the right direction at the quarterback position. However you view Baker Mayfield. Let's assume he's healthy. He is a better player than Sam Bartel. Now this is not Joe Montana against Steve Young, a different prism of analysis but I made the case, you can certainly come up with a convincing argument that in the division now with Tom Brady leading the way and Marcus Mary out of the starter in Atlanta. I Baker when healthy and engaged. These are big gifts… Is a superior quarterback James Weston just go back and look at his numbers couple years ago he had a brilliant season the claimant so Carolina now can make the case the of the second best quarterback in that division. What is it mean I like too much but remember with the expanded playoff field and it is the wildcard out there may be Carolina sniffs the wildcard that seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but at least they have hope and for Baker, it makes loads of sense because he's been playing for the next contract for the last few years the Browns you said were not interested. This is before they would all win on the wrong guy based on his potential liabilities with the suspension in the Sean Watson taking nothing away from the clear fact he is a franchise quarterback but never forget and Cleveland. The regime that was fully invested in Baker is gone. This is not pretty kitchens.

His handpicked head coach or Hugh Jackson was a man's.

He's a bright God.

Not that your academic resume matters when he's Ivy League educated and a new front office so it was clear the divorce was coming. The terms are interesting, but just like if you know a couple in the ready to go and arguing back out drag my poor sister into the she's not listed sports talk radio, I was ever for my brother-in-law. I hope he's listening because he's now my former brother-in-law. I came down to the brass tacks.

My sister the breadwinner because she married a dead beetle. Do this quickly and she wrote a slightly bigger check to say goodbye now is a wonderful father to my nieces but at that point, since I was a financially involved I said will will stay away from the figure what would ask mean to you and you still pay the mortgage, what would you pay to be happy, pay the extra dough and that expedited the divorce. Same thing in my opinion here. Cleveland stepped up. Remember the role reports that they were going to move past Midway in the 18/8, which is not the number anymore because Baker not the Dell by three and have million bucks.

So much of the arithmetic together move the fiber 15 three of the 15, 3 million in salary Cleveland seating 10.5 and are only getting a conditional fifth round pick in return that tells you everything you need to know about the terms of that divorce. So Baker Mayfield gets his freedom. He gets a second chance he gets the opportunity to start over Kenny change his personality. I'm not sure because it seems like that's who he is. That's how he was able to maximize his limited physical skill set to be the overall number one pick which he never showed up. And that was Cleveland reaching but he didn't draft himself number one overall pick to get the words in order.

Now he's got to show either Carolina to retain him or the rest of the league. He's auditioning for everybody else. Somebody out there if he can stay healthy and doesn't throw 20 interceptions is going to pay Baker Mayfield because look around the NFL.

That's why was surprised say the Texans war that interested that we know the smells was the number one high school quarterback in the country had a cameo at Stanford, but looked okay last year but are you telling me the Baker maples not in the top 15 starters in the league. He was certainly always in my mind going to be a starter and Carolina can say whatever they want about a competition between Baker and Sam Darla not seen any official reaction from the Panthers that will come out later. Baker's going to start, and now it's up to him and needs.

If you view him to be prickly. I keep using the term with intent and I have a little bit of that in my personality.

No shocking know that comes through the show. Prickly people can be motivated tell they can't do something to try to prove you wrong so Baker has all the motivation he needs and all the financial incentive, especially because in no need for a bake sale of the commercials that he's on, he's leaving three and have million bucks on realized waving that to get out of Cleveland.

I think of all the potential outcomes.

This is the best for Baker Seattle could have been even more challenging because I have no earthly idea what the Seahawks are doing and then lastly, what do we do with Jimmy Galapagos across. If you have your list of landing spot for garrotte below crossed Carolina off the list. There is a school of thought of the Niners don't think garrotte below is worthy of worrying about trading him in the division that they might be open to sending them to Seattle because they know him better than anybody and they think they can beat him twice within the division. Because we know it is train lances to add it straight.

Let's his team all the more obviously because garrotte below is still banged up coming back from the shoulder procedure so the questions questions to be answered. Moving forward, and egos in this order. What is the league discipline for the Sean Watson if it's less than 10 games. I think the Browns ride with Jacoby percents. If it is a season-long suspension or indefinite. I think Lee was then open to finding somebody else and that somebody else could be Jimmy garrotte below.
