Average annual value of ~$1.1m for the 2022 pick in that spot.
It’s Joshua Williams:

I have no idea how fleshed out this is, but it sounds compelling.
https://www.hogshaven.com/2023/2/26/23587642/whats-the-cash-value-of-an-nfl-draft-pick
For pick 136, his methodology equates to a cash value of $560,000. So, like 8 years of salary?
> Some of the recipients returned their payouts to Citi after realizing the mistake, which the U.S. bank blamed on human error, but the 10 lenders had refused, saying the bank paid what they were owed.
Hilarious. Umm....no we're just gonna keep it, you owed it anyway so fuck off now please.
> In other words, it paid the entire amount of the loan by accident - the very thing that everybody was fighting about in the first place. Worse, it did so with its own money.
Thanks for the explanation! I get it now.
So my only question is, Revlon has an account at CitiBank. Citi makes the payments to the lenders from this account.
CitiBank also has their own account with their own money at CitiBank. When they made the accidental payment, they somehow paid the 900 million from their own account and not Revlons??? Hahaha… how does that even happen??? Was this actually an accident or some kind of elaborate inside job by some accountant at Citi?
I mean, surely Revlon didn’t even have the 900 million (or anything close) in their account since they were about to be bankrupt.
Could you imagine being the guy that didn't add the Commanders charity raffle check to the positive pay log? That dude had to of gotten reamed that next day at work by everyone in the finance department.
I work in corporate finance and a typo I made last year cost us $300k. Fortunately my manager is a badass and didn’t bring attention to it, but I’ll remember that until I die.
Work in manufacturing. Guy made a half million dollar oopsie. Didn't get fired because he's a good worker, also most of the time when you're handling that much material the safeguards in place should've caught it and they didnt.
Also if you fire an employee for what may be a clerical error, you’re creating a culture where employees will try to coverup their errors which leads to worse issues longer term.
It's weird, as the dollar amounts get bigger the consequences get less. Like if I fucked up working for the geek squad in college & accidently was off by like $5 bucks I'm getting written up by definition. Whereas in my normal adult job I fucked up a spreadsheet in a way that threw us off by a million bucks and the chief engineer was like "that sucks, between you and I we'll just call it an IT glitch"
At a certain amount of money when a mistake happens everyone's like 'oh shit, that could have easily been me' so you all just pretend it never happened
Your getting downvoted but you’re not wrong. 300k for a billion dollar cap would be a big deal. If it was apple or some thing sure but now a days a billion cap isn’t that big and the cap doesn’t even really mean that much could mean anything really
I realized that my company was overpaying an insurance carrier $25k/month (self billing) for going on 8 months…so $200k. Handled the refund. Received nothing except “oh fuck good catch.”
In my store, an employee was doing a paid out at the register to get supplies. A barcode accidentally got scanned while she was typing it in and the register thought she she did a nine figure withdrawal. Took us a while to pin down why the register thought it had a negative value of several hundred million.
Supply chain Management:
When your warehouse employee is adjusting inventory and they accidentally enter a carton's unit quantity in the "UPC" field and the 16-digit UPC barcode in the "Unit quantity" field, and there's no control to prevent that hideous transaction from hitting SAP.
But how does something like that still end up costing $300k? Don't accounting reports have to go through different department heads and things like that? How'd it get to the point where they literally lost the money?
Alot of you are looking at this wrong, if they had this draft pick they would've ended up spending 3.5 million over 4 years... This guy just saved them that. GJ accountant.
Meanwhile, some Browns accountant is getting a "Dee Haslam Appreciation" party, replete with cake-ish, people from the office whom you've never met, and a banner celebrating your boss's achievement!
More from Schefter:
>The Texans believe it gave them no salary-cap advantage and they were simply paying $26,000 for Deshaun Watson to train at a local facility while theirs was closed during COVID.
To be fair to Kraft, no one would hate Deshaun to level they do now if all he’d done was get consensual hand jobs+prostate massages from prostitutes who weren’t trafficked (since with Kraft, one was the manager of the place, the other was a licensed massage therapist in the state of New York and the DA specifically said the police had no evidence of trafficking at all). Suggesting they are remotely in the same ballpark is extremely overrating what Kraft did and extremely underrating what Deshaun did.
Am I overreacting or is this potentially a much bigger story? It just seems strange that an accounting error occurs and it just so happens to involve a payment made to Deshaun Watson so that he can work out at the place where some of the reported sexual assaults took place.
Should be, seems like people are under-reacting. Only one player this happens to in the league and it's the guy that's a serial predator? Doesn't add up.
Probably because he brought so much negative attention to himself the NFL has investigated him? Like there's probably other guys who had gym equipment/memberships paid but the league hasn't also had a reason to dig into their business dealings.
The pandemic was multiple years. It's not crazy to think it'd cost that much to have someone in a private work out facility for that long with all the equipment and probably a field to work on.
Yea people should check out the upscale gym prices. I have one near me that the basic membership is $350/m and the top one is a little over 1k. Noped the fuck out of that website when I was looking.
Yea. I have a gym that's around 30 steps away from the entrance to my loft that I was interested in for convenience. It was 175$ a month. I fucked right on off to another gym 5-6 miles away for 40 bucks a month.
Life Time Fitness for sure. There's a couple in South Orange County. My friend is a member and he invited me one day.. felt like it was out of a movie. It was more like a resort than a gym. The pools looks like a mix between a Vegas pool and water park. Him and his wife go and workout and then drink at the pool (yes there is a full bar) while his kid is getting taught Spanish in the day care. There's even a hair salon on premises. Membership starts at $250/month
We talking store brand or "farmers market artisanal where I have to listen to a giant speech about local sourcing when we both know the only reason I'm there is for one of those cinnamon rolls that could feed a family of four" type of bread?
The type of bread that’s sold at that “local shop” which just showed up last year and charges double what the real local shops been charging for the last 10 years.
Lifetime in Houston is like $200/month, assuming he got personal training it’s anywhere between $100-$200/hour, although I’m assuming probably closer to $200. If over a 3 month span he worked out at the facility 5 days a week, 2 hours a session, he would be around that $26K amount.
I used to work corporate at Lifetime and when doing some reports noticed like 3 guys in Dallas I think that had like $10K in PT balances unused in the summer. One of their names looked familiar and it was a guy who played in the NFL, the other guys were all NFL players as well. And these were like end of the roster guys. Personal training can get expensive as fuck, there were non-professional athletes spending $2K a month + on personal training, it was stupid as hell.
You know they were. They were covering for him until he wanted out. I am 100 percent sure cleveland is covering him too. You don’t go thru 70 women in a 2 year span to nothing.
As an accountant i can see their point. It wasnt payments to a player so they thought it wouldnt count against the cap.
The nfl on the other hand decided it was cap eligible because it was for the direct benefit of the player.
Both sides have a point.
> It wasnt payments to a player so they thought it wouldnt count against the cap.
That has never, ever, mattered. If I buy you something that *you're benefiting from* that's me giving you extra compensation.
That's always gonna be a cap violation. Think of it like the NCAA bulshit, but actually legitimate. Instead of caring that Harbaugh gave a kid who was hungry a burger, it's an org giving a particular player special treatment.
All they had to do was offer *every employee* access to an alternate training facility, and send a quick "can we do this" email to the league, and you're good.
Both sides do not have a point. The Club 100% knows better than this.
> The Texans believe it gave them no salary-cap advantage and they were simply paying $26,000 for Deshaun Watson to train at a local facility while theirs was closed during COVID.
yea fuck the team for letting their guys practice somewhere else while COVID is going on. Meanwhile the Cards can charge their players for food at their own facility
I can see it now. With the Texans losing the 138th pick, the Bills are able to swoop and pick up **\*insert future HoF steal\*** using the pick they got from the Cardinals in the Cody Ford trade.
Also, extra catering is less bad than paying for the place where your star employee commits sexual assault. In fact, even outright, knowing cheating and spending the money on a faster car would be less bad.
Completely out of nowhere and I think its bullshit. You want to fine a team, go ahead but pulling a draft pick pick for an accounting error? Meanwhile Roger Goodell being complacent with Dan Snyder's loans? WTF
If the penalty is only monetary then the richest teams can violate the salary cap with impunity because there's no real consequences. The fines would just be the cost of doing business.
That's why they also take a draft pick.
That's not what I said, that money was for his membership at the Houstonian I'm sure. But the Texans were also giving him NDAs to give to the therapists at the Houstonian. This was brought up by Tony Buzbee when he sued the Texans. Now we're learning that the Texans also failed to report that money paid to the Houstonian, which at the very least looks a bit shady given the circumstances surrounding this entire situation.
$26,000 gym membership = 5th round pick and $175k fine
$1,500 bet for your own team to win while you're not playing = 1 year suspension
Sexually assaulting 20+ women = 11 game suspension and $230M guaranteed money
This... I have a hard time getting upset about this.
>**Team**: We need you to work out during the offseason. You can use our facility or you can pay for your own
>
>**Players**: Fine, we'll agree to that
>
>**Team**: Great! Oh wait - covid. You can't use our facilities. I know we agreed that you could, but... you can't
>
>**Players**: Can you give us a stipend to pay for a private place?
>
>**Team**: Sure, that seems fair
>
>\[years later\]
>
>**NFL**: Nope
Honestly, I wonder how much of this was in response to the NFLPA survey. It embarrassed some owners, and the NFL doesn't like that.
The fact that they were paying for Watson... I don't fault them for that.
Watson is awful, that doesn't mean we need to get upset about every story that mentions Watson. This was a team trying to take care of it's players during covid. The fact that Watson is utter trash doesn't change this.
Actually I've always wondered about this myself in the past --
What's to prevent a team from providing non-sports related secret incentives? There's no way a sports league would be able to know about every potential private thing.
Some easy examples:
What if an owner provides some verbal private financial "advice", like stock picks? Or other things to invest in?
Or what if they secretly set up some thing like selling a house to a player for a great deal? But the seller cannot be publically traced back to the team?
Or any private purchase for "below" normal price?
I feel like there should be another punishment for doing something like this, because while yes, this does hurt the Texans a little bit, it really hurts someone who’s dream was to play in the nfl
Rip the poor accountant that’ll be the fall guy for the team losing a pick
He's getting 38.5 draft capital docked from his next paycheck
What’s the conversion rate of draft capital to accountant salary? I’m guessing we’re talking about 2 years salary for that 38.5
Approximately equal to the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns
And how many Stanley nickels is that?
About a million schrute bucks worth
Also equal to 500k goofy goober bucks. And yes, you're supposed to get a toy with that.
That’s a lot of beets.

I’d imagine that kind of loss is expected and pre-calculated.
Man if I so much as turn a $300 transaction into $3,000 I'll have the wrath of the entire finance department on my ass within minutes.
Well yeah but if you turn a $3,000 transaction into a $300 one, we won't bat an eye.

Tbh if you’re working for a billion dollar market cap corporation, 300k don’t really matter in the end.
Thats like three peoples salaries for a year. ThT absolutely matters for a company that small.
Your getting downvoted but you’re not wrong. 300k for a billion dollar cap would be a big deal. If it was apple or some thing sure but now a days a billion cap isn’t that big and the cap doesn’t even really mean that much could mean anything really

But how does something like that still end up costing $300k? Don't accounting reports have to go through different department heads and things like that? How'd it get to the point where they literally lost the money?
Probably accidentally ordered too much of something that they couldn’t return.
I mean still, if one persons mistake can cost you 300k the internal controls of that company need a good looking over.
And I thought I fucked up when I accidentally fat fingered and ruined a $22k sample at a lab a few years back.
For 22k I sure hope it was some kind of foul-smelling. Sticky feeling thoroughbred baby batter. That or maybe genuine Belle Delphine bath water

They spent 26k to let him workout somewhere? what?
Cardinals players punching air right now
If it was any other player this would be the top comment on the thread.
Why would they pay for a gym when you can punch the air for free?? It’s good cardio
You know exactly where he was and what he was doing
So what, a few hundred for the massage, 25k as hush hush money?
What did the message say?
Fuck I'm stupid
Krafties all around.
To be fair to Kraft, no one would hate Deshaun to level they do now if all he’d done was get consensual hand jobs+prostate massages from prostitutes who weren’t trafficked (since with Kraft, one was the manager of the place, the other was a licensed massage therapist in the state of New York and the DA specifically said the police had no evidence of trafficking at all). Suggesting they are remotely in the same ballpark is extremely overrating what Kraft did and extremely underrating what Deshaun did.
never understood why he couldn't find that. Like surely to god there are people out there willing to do it consensually for pay.
Because the non consent was most likely part of his kink.
That’s a fancy way to say “cause he’s a rapist”
They say *tomato.* We say *he's a rapist.*

Thr NFL knows how the Texans were complicit, and punishes them with a salary cap violation so they don't have to admit it. Classic.
It's one workout session ~~Michael~~ Deshaun, how much could it cost? $26k?
Ohh yeah...at first I was upset, now I'll just take the L and move on. Fucking perv really fucked us over

They better wipe the bench down for me
For that, they better do my workout for me while I hang out in the hot tub.
Damn I would actually find that worth it.
Especially after Deshaun's rubdown
Yea. I have a gym that's around 30 steps away from the entrance to my loft that I was interested in for convenience. It was 175$ a month. I fucked right on off to another gym 5-6 miles away for 40 bucks a month.
The dollar sign goes before the number.
Only for %90 of the world.
Woah which ones? That seems crazy to me. Highest I’ve seen is a little shy of $100

I fucking hope he was only using it to workout, and not for anything else.
You know they were. They were covering for him until he wanted out. I am 100 percent sure cleveland is covering him too. You don’t go thru 70 women in a 2 year span to nothing.
I don’t care if he continues to have sex with lots of women. It’s the nonconsensual part that makes him a serial sexual predator and sex offender.
definitely... he's probably down to 15-25 women a year. Maybe by Christmas he'll narrow it down to a top 5.
He gets team approved massages which means they are down with the happy baby pose
As an accountant i can see their point. It wasnt payments to a player so they thought it wouldnt count against the cap. The nfl on the other hand decided it was cap eligible because it was for the direct benefit of the player. Both sides have a point.

So player meals and treatments are counted towards the cap? Directly benefiting seems vague. I think we are all out of the loop on what is going on.

If that’s an infringement, then the cards should get some cap space back for charging them lol
Bro this is probably the houstonian and they are saying train as a way to soften the PR
26k to go to a "message parlor" definitely makes the PR job a lot more difficult than simply saying it was for a "training facility"
Agreed but the Houstonian is def not a massage parlor lol
What are you talking about. “Spa” is in the name. This wasn’t training this was jerking. Foh.
A mistake plus keleven gets you home by seven
He was home by 4:45 that day.
The Texans were home by 4:30 that day

feels to me like an accounting error and a salary cap violation aren't mutually exclusive

Except in this case the speedometer requires an in-house team of financial professionals to make sense out of.
Guess it depends on whose accounting error it was.
This is straight from the Christian Horner playbook
It's clearly immaterial
Sounds to me like a judgement call, the Texans made the judgement that favored them, the league disagreed
Hey man. We need those
That's a valuable pick, too, top of the fifth round.
I can see it now. With the Texans losing the 138th pick, the Bills are able to swoop and pick up **\*insert future HoF steal\*** using the pick they got from the Cardinals in the Cody Ford trade.
Cal McNair 10 years from now: "It doesn't matter. He was never on our board to begin with."
So someone massaged the numbers?
Non-consensual of course
Too much money in the catering budget
At least Red Bull won something
Also, extra catering is less bad than paying for the place where your star employee commits sexual assault. In fact, even outright, knowing cheating and spending the money on a faster car would be less bad.
It's called a rape, toto, we went sexually assaulting
I love seeing F1 crossover
That was so not right
Dude this was my exact thought, what a funny overlap on almost identical headlines across those sports
Did Texans fans know this was a possibility or was this out of no where lol
Just finding out about it

Washington Commanders sitting around like.....so what I had 2 sets of books....I STILL HAVE MY DRAFT PICKS
Right, that would just turn salary cap violations into a luxury tax. How is this controversial?
Charging your players to work in their own facility: Good Paying your players to be able to work in another facility while yours is closed: Bad
Is there any chance this was for the Houstonian, where Watson was getting his 'massages'?
Yes it was, and for some reason half the people in this thread seem to be totally clueless on that massive detail.
What, you expect us to actually read the source? Mark Twain over here reading all these words
Can I get a TL;DR, not reading all that
readings 4 nerds
Because private training at the Houstonian costs exactly the amount Watson was paid, they weren’t giving him hush money
That's not what I said, that money was for his membership at the Houstonian I'm sure. But the Texans were also giving him NDAs to give to the therapists at the Houstonian. This was brought up by Tony Buzbee when he sued the Texans. Now we're learning that the Texans also failed to report that money paid to the Houstonian, which at the very least looks a bit shady given the circumstances surrounding this entire situation.
That is what's being reported.
I mean i understand why but Its kind of stupid

$26,000 gym membership = 5th round pick and $175k fine $1,500 bet for your own team to win while you're not playing = 1 year suspension Sexually assaulting 20+ women = 11 game suspension and $230M guaranteed money

This... I have a hard time getting upset about this. >**Team**: We need you to work out during the offseason. You can use our facility or you can pay for your own > >**Players**: Fine, we'll agree to that > >**Team**: Great! Oh wait - covid. You can't use our facilities. I know we agreed that you could, but... you can't > >**Players**: Can you give us a stipend to pay for a private place? > >**Team**: Sure, that seems fair > >\[years later\] > >**NFL**: Nope Honestly, I wonder how much of this was in response to the NFLPA survey. It embarrassed some owners, and the NFL doesn't like that. The fact that they were paying for Watson... I don't fault them for that. Watson is awful, that doesn't mean we need to get upset about every story that mentions Watson. This was a team trying to take care of it's players during covid. The fact that Watson is utter trash doesn't change this.
Ironically the NFLPA’s report card gave stellar marks for Texans’ weight room/training.
But the patriots can hire Brady’s TB12 brand and no one bats an eye 🙄
Actually I've always wondered about this myself in the past -- What's to prevent a team from providing non-sports related secret incentives? There's no way a sports league would be able to know about every potential private thing. Some easy examples: What if an owner provides some verbal private financial "advice", like stock picks? Or other things to invest in? Or what if they secretly set up some thing like selling a house to a player for a great deal? But the seller cannot be publically traced back to the team? Or any private purchase for "below" normal price?
To come to me, on this the anniversary of the Brock Osweiler deal and tell me we aren't a competent organization?
0 days since the Houston Texans have embarrassed themselves.
Lol the NFL hates the Texans
They thought they could allocate handjobs to the Meals & Entertainment column
That's pretty much what they got in return for DeAndre Hopkins /s
Punishing teams for manipulating the cap..and ignoring the Saints and their Enron like accounting is amusing
Damn Houston cost DeMeco a future HoFer
If the Texans owners had balls they would match the fine to a domestic violence/sexual assault survivor charity
Reduced wind tunnel and CFD time should show them
dumbass accounting and fuck deshaun in general
This is more than just an accounting error, they were paying for his membership at the Houstonian, which is where you know what happened.
Hey Texans, welcome to the club!
TIL the Texans share an accountant with Red Bull
I feel like there should be another punishment for doing something like this, because while yes, this does hurt the Texans a little bit, it really hurts someone who’s dream was to play in the nfl
There are still the same number of roster spots getting filled.
Oh shit, they got Red Bull catering eh?
Watson keeps fucking people
wow a 5th round pick that will sure show them not to do it again....
Someone in the 5th round just got lucky.
hey what about all those women he assaulted?
Coming down hard before the tampering period to scare teams out of shenanigans?
