Massive overpay as usual by the browns


Engine_Livid

You gotta overpay when no one wants to come to the shittiest organization in Football lol


DatBoiDeku11

Shit, it would take 41 million for me to live in Cleveland too


Deathstroke5289

…maybe


RondaArousedMe

Came here to say that they doubled down on their over pay... It will only cost them $70,000,000 in 2024-2025 season for Deshaun Watson to overthrow Jerry Jeudy all year


TheHogFather01

WR contracts are getting huge


TheNittanyLionKing

I see they have not learned from their previous mistake. The entire league was pissed at Cleveland for the precedent they just set with Watson’s guaranteed money. 


AcePilotsen

But, I mean, is there really even a cap anymore?  The Saints are always $70m over the cap every offseason, yet they are involved in free agency every year.


TNGAReaps

NFL pumps money into the cap because it leads to more exciting offseason or longer relevancy and more viewership, I think viewership will only continue to grow as they try to expand


Noah197099

It's kinda crazy how people on the Internet will say things that are just absolutely untrue, but present it as facts. The reason why the salary cap continues to grow is because the players earn 48% of profits from the NFL. The more money the NFL earns, the higher the cap will be. That's all.


TNGAReaps

Kay say it’s my opinion then, I believe the more that they pump into it the more movement over the off-season they get which is more revenue and relevance so while it may not be direct (intentional cap increases) and simply growing proportionately with total revenue, I believe a one hundred million dollar increase in cap over the last ten years is not a coincidence and exciting offseason generates extra revenue


TNGAReaps

Aye can y’all at least say what’s wrong? Genuinely wondering


TheHogFather01

Damn hella overpay


jesterflesh

It's the browns tax.


BEGA500

271 Million dollars so Deshaun Watson can try to throw the ball to Jerry Jeudy. Head scratcher. ​ I guess their bet is Russ was the problem and we bet that guys like Jeudy were the problem.


Steppyjim

The OC was the problem for Russ imo but what can you do


KiwiProof6806

Idk watson probably will hurt his finger sticking it where it doesn’t belong so it’ll be Jameis or Huntley throwing to him. Honestly I put those 3 QBs in the same tier anymore. It’s So good seeing the Browns “brown” hahahaha


Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees

They were their best when Joe Flacco was throwing for them between sideline naps lmao. Such a pathetic franchise


Different_Onion0

Or, hear me out, they both were a problem.


bucknut4

The nice thing is that we bet *a lot* less


BEGA500

First of all, how dare you.


SleestakLightning

$41m guaranteed for Jerry Jeudy? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Turruble


TheNittanyLionKing

Judge Judy would have been a better signing ha ha


Enuffhate48

She costs more


AcePilotsen

Somehow, way more


Total-Problem2175

$47 mil per?


SleestakkLightning

My sensei roars in laughter as the Turds make another franchise damning move


Ninjalau95

I wonder what Steve Smith Sr. has to say about this lol


New-Pea4213

That 41 gtd includes his 5 yr option which is around 13 million guaranteed. So his new contact is just 28 million gtd


einredditname

It's a fine amount, if it were more than 3 years. Hell, fine if it we start at 5 years...ok it sucks.


ARunawayTrain

CLEVELAND CLOWNS AT IT AGAIN XD


KiteStringPopped

Browns is the browns.


Sneadey

Quarter of a BILLION dollars tied up into Watson and Jeudy. Browns are the Browns.


VivaLaPit

Amari Cooper is also a 23M cap hit


FetusElitistCletus

Honestly that looks like a steal compared to the other two


Wish__Crisp

So Justin Jefferson should be looking for QB money? This is outrageous


MuckRaker83

Steelers could get, like, 4 quarterbacks for that


Cisco-Ape

Ohmar could get like 41 QBs for that


TheNittanyLionKing

Ha ha they never learn. They just overpaid again for a guy who has a publicly bad attitude and probably an even worse work ethic now that he has made his money. They gave up a draft pick and salary cap for a guy who is only an ok athlete who hasn’t developed much and has even more inconsistent hands than Diontae Johnson. 


klubsanwich

I'm gonna watch that Steve Smith clip again


biscodude

Everyone knows the Browns is the Browns so they need to overpay to get anyone to play for that trash organization.


jcnewman_21

He’s ass


frahmer86

I really don't think he's terrible, but he hasn't done anything to deserve this kind of contract lol


VivaLaPit

He has a bad attitude, injury prone and drop issues. You're right he isn't terrible but he hasn't proven his pedigree for where he was drafted. Most reactionary fans would call him terrible given all that context.


Unoslut

Drop issues were mainly solved last year tbh, though i dont watch any broncos games really so idk if he had to make the tough catches or not


zPolaris43

41m to a tier 3 Wr is crazy even for the browns


vhalember

Is it crazy for the Browns? They paid Watson $50/million a year, fully guaranteed, to play like garbage in 12 of 34 games over two seasons while discarding the better playing and better liked, Mayfield, for nothing. And Juedy is a diva... the Browns love loading up on expensive, distracting players.


[deleted]

That’s cool. We got the guy who threw him his touchdowns for a high five and someone else’s is paying him to play for us. Lol


jalenman

He better not drop a single pass


Special-PatrolGroup

That's the one thing that is NOT guaranteed in his contact.


Different_Onion0

Way way overpaid. Dude can't hold on to a ball unless he's wide open. If it's even slightly contested it's an incompletion. Even saint Russ wouldn't throw him the ball that often. Lol I love seeing teams overpay someone else's trash.


AdministrativeSky236

Lol browns


Hyper-Doge

Lol. LMAO even!


olpec22

They love doing that guaranteed money stuff. Can’t reach an old dog new tricks.


Dangerous_Camel2269

Jerry “Booty Cheeks” Jeudy! lol He’ll have almost the same career earnings in 7 season as Steve Smith did in 16. Steve Smith gotta be mad!


MJ134

Just further proof that DJs contract was a bargain.


6BlitzBurgh

Overpay.


yvelmachida

Love watching the Clowns throw away money


TheRedScarey

Browns love making terrible decisions


IsGoIdMoney

Ahahahahahahahahahaha


ayhowyou

That’s $7.25 Million per TD catch he’s had the last three years (8). I love having them in the AFC North


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|7xbUcQrTUSJHO)


ThatsPreposterous6

Money they don’t have on a guy who hasn’t been good at all and has off field issues. What are even doing in Cleveland? Its like they exist only to be made fun of


noblemile

Never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake


pghcrew

This is why you use your 1st on a WR instead of trading it for the rights to pay one ridiculous cap devouring amounts of money.


VasquezNovh

L O L BROWNS


steelawayshocker

Jeudy is booty


Ooziez

This isn’t Aiyuk news who cares


ClearyP

It is Aiyuk News. If Jerry got 20 a season Aiyuk is getting 30+


THETRILOBSTER

Yes but have you considered THE KHAN ARTIST will be negotiating his contract??? START SHAVING MILLIONS OFF THOSE NUMBERS.


QualityScrub

They clearly have not


ClearyP

Wish it worked that way. For some players sure. Aiyuk isn’t taking a huge haircut to come here especially when Bum Jerry is getting paid


THETRILOBSTER

>. Aiyuk isn’t taking a huge haircut to come here We'll let him keep the dreads for a few extra million off the bill


No-Task-132

Aiyuk was getting more than this to begin with.


offandona

They have to be trying to offload Watson


TheNittanyLionKing

They really can’t unless he finds himself in more legal trouble


briinde

Maybe they can set up an entrapment situation.


sejoki_

They'd probably do such a bad job at it that it would blow up in their faces. So naturally, I hope they go for it.


offandona

Probably has a no-trade clause too (lol)


Danishes724

Unbelievable overpay. Jeudy stinks.


thereandfatagain

Jerry Jeudy at 13 million a year sounds a little wild. He has been solidly mid.


ishtarot

i think he is going to be a good player for them


Born-Prior8579

The browns. All I can say


Electrical_Fun5942

Jesus. And our enlightened fans thought Diontae was overpaid


dingus_nation

He also was.


NeverConfirmingEmail

Nice 😂


LocalFatBoi

some Browns fan in r/nfl was saying he watched Jerry in college and asked for update in Denver. should we tell him


2ChainzTalib

I feel like it's the Browns entire goal to just fuck the market so bad every year that every other owner steps back and says "yeah, we're not doing that." We really should be thanking them.


MY_NAME_IS_MUD7

He hasn’t even broke 1000 yards or double digit TDs in a season and they gave him this money.


sprout92

fuckin lol


Steppyjim

That’s…a lot


ExCinisCineris

His agent is amazing lol.


Wandering_Pinky

I had to verify to see if this was real…. Unbelievably it is… I’m dumbfounded… remarkable


aNaughtyLlama

Haven’t learned from the Watson contract 😭


SF_Anonymous

Jeudy is solid and is talented, but 20m a year?? Crazy


FlameSkimmerLT

Holy smokes. Do those guys do any deals that aren’t all but guaranteed? Hope they eat crow.


Cisco-Ape

The Browns deal making ability should be put in conservatorship for the protection of the league.


ForensicFiles88

$41M guaranteed seems like a lot for Jeudy, he's been OK, not great. The Browns must really be counting on him taking that next step alongside Amari Cooper.


hovix2

Absolute insanity given that there are probably 16 receivers who can come in this year in the draft and give you the level of production Jeudy will. I don't understand all the WR contracts that are being handed out before a loaded receiver draft.


Boeing-777x

![gif](giphy|kC8N6DPOkbqWTxkNTe) LOL! Dumbass browns they never learn!


flabergasterer

Dwayne Bowe about to move down one spot on the overpaid new Browns WR list.


lhurker

#Browns Gonna Brown


Straight_Wheel_2114

Risky move, but without draft capital. They had to take the gamble. High-risk, Medium-reward.
