Deshaun Watson Off the Field Thread v3: 11 games, $5M

[natedagg]

The box at my dealership is visible from the counter in the mgrs office when the door is open. Doesn't have to be an inside job. Fact is, like the Kias, dealerships haven't been properly prepare for this level of organize crime. They need a new security model.

Haha that’s giving them quite the credit! “This level of organized crime” is a visible box with all of the keys. That’s actually hilarious.
Wonder if they can buy fleet airtags or something, or if most new vehicles have some sort of LTE enabled so they can just triangulate them. But still, the best deterrent is to, ya know, not have 1 singular box of visible keys.

I think Fox is generally a little whiny bitch, but I get what he was trying to say.

The Browns are in a tough division and they are going to need Watson to play at or very close to the levels he did from 2018-2020 to be able to potentially win the division and make a deep playoff run.

Young kids joy riding.

Brother works at the clinic, some kids stole his car and ran it into a pole then lit the car on fire. Guess it's exciting....

"Joy riding" should be punished like horse thieving in the old days.

Won't be our problem when they can't/won't pay him $200+ million guaranteed. Will be entertaining for sure.

Sounds like they're prepared to meet his demands and it'll be a relatively open and shut process, unfortunately.

I think our best bet for the Bengals getting weaker is the potential reluctance to pay both Chase and Higgins. And for the underrated defense to start losing pieces/Lou Anarumo to finally get considered for HC openings.

I'll believe it when I see it from that owner. Everything I heard/read sounds like it's coming from the team and to your latter point, it seems Burrow would essentially have to pay to extend those players out of his pocket. If he does that, then I guess it is what it is but we'll see. Particularly if he has a ring already.

Every team in the NFL ends up spending about the same amount on players. Nobody stays under the cap, and if they do, they end up using that rollover cap anyways.

Burrow probably has options on the table--a Mahomes-esque massive deal, or a Watson-esque fully guaranteed deal that's significantly shorter. Either way, he's going to set the market--and he should, and Cincinnati isn't going to balk at the opportunity to lock up one of the best young QB prospects the NFL has ever seen.

Cincinnati isn't going to balk at the opportunity to lock up one of the best young QB prospects the NFL has ever seen.

They are already balking, which is why this conversation is happening publicly (Mike Brown ladies and gents). If I'm Burrow and have already experienced torn ACL/MCL, I'm tearing up any short-term offer with similar ferocity.

Not legit.

Same spelling error throughout — forgot the “s” in front of “quash” — It is “squash”.

Idiot.

I hope that was a joke, not saying the dude is legit or not.

I thought quash was a word so I googled it, lol....

A motion to quash is a request to a court or other tribunal to render a previous decision or proceeding null or invalid. The exact usage of motions to quash depend on the rules of the particular court or tribunal. In some cases, motions to quash are requests to nullify a decision made by the same or a lower court.

Watson is literally on vacation from his job, throwing up Instagram hype videos l, why would he need to reschedule a depo multiple times? Sounds like his lawyers playing games to try and get it thrown before he actually has to do it.

Lawyer here -- can confirm Motions to Quash are actually a real thing lol Usually they are filed to quash subpoenas. At least in Ohio, it is very unusual to see a Motion to Quash a deposition of a party. If it was necessary to file, and the Court granted it, then the conduct of the Plaintiff's counsel must have been egregious. My best guess is that he simply picked a date that worked for him and when counsel for Watson said that won't work (multiple times according to the tweet) and provided alternative dates, Plaintiff's counsel kept the same date and forced Watson to file the Motion. Sounds like a counsel being difficult just to be difficult.
