He doesn't want to be there anymore.

But you have...

What looks to be a franchise quarterback in his mid-20s available for any team to have with the trade.

So my team, sadly, the L.A.

Falcons, they thought that they had a deal done for Deshaun Watson.

And then the Cleveland Browns came in.

And this is where the ownership feedback kind of gets broken, where Jimmy Haslam breaks the ranks.

and says, I want this guy on my team so bad.

This is why nobody ever hits free agency in the NFL, because this is what it would look like in terms of when owners actually have to bid against each other for elite talent.

Jimmy Haslam comes in and says, here's five years, $230 million.

Every single penny will be guaranteed.

No stipulations, nothing like that.

Which is not how this works normally.

No one gets guaranteed contracts.

Right.

Because previously, the actual first player to get a fully guaranteed contract from another team was actually Kirk Cousins with the Vikings when he left Washington.

They gave him like a three-year, I think it was three years, $88 million, fully guaranteed.

But still.

That ain't five years, 230, you know?

And what the owners were mad about was not that you would seek out someone with the personal background of Deshaun Watson to represent your franchise.
