NFL free agency is finally slowing down after a frenzy over the first few days of the new league year. Here's a look at winners and losers from the transaction period.
spurned America’s Team for greener pastures in Miami and Denver, respectively. The Cowboys’ purge continued later in the week, releasing longtime starting RT La’el Collins. Oh, and RB Ezekiel Elliott is still under contract for five more years. Not a great week for Jerry Jones and Co.The Bengals – the reigning AFC Champion – are shoring up their biggest weakness in pursuit of getting over the hump and winning a Super Bowl. Wait, what? Imagine reading that sentence at this time last year.
Burrow was sacked seven times in the Super Bowl, with several other close calls. Now, he’ll have a fresh group of giants standing in front of him. Alex Cappa joined Cincy after winning a Super Bowl with the Bucs. Ted Karras will play center after bouncing around the Patriots’ interior O-line over the years. Then they signed
to play right tackle and complete the full remodel. The Bengals are doing all they can to combat the dreaded Super Bowl loser hangover.On paper, it all makes sense for the Browns. Trading for Deshaun Watson, a bonafide star quarterback in the NFL, makes them a clear contender in the AFC. He’s an obvious upgrade from Baker Mayfield, who has failed to live up to expectations as the No. 1 overall pick. But there’s much more to this story that makes it a conflicting move for Cleveland fans.
$230 million in guaranteed money over the next five years. They even protected him from losing much of it, giving him just a $1 million salary for 2022. So, even if he’s suspended, the lost checks will come from that $1 million, not the other 229. All of it – the pursuit, the media coverage, the fanfare and the contract – puts Browns fans, one of the most passionate groups in the league, in an impossible position. They’ve longed for a quarterback of Watson’s caliber for years. Sixteen different quarterbacks have started a game for Cleveland over the last 10 years. That number jumps to 24 over the last 15 years. Watson represents an answer at quarterback. But what he represents off the field could be the bigger concern right now.
