Hi Ray, Thanks for the chats! Does Watson get the Brown’s money if he’s cut, hurt, or traded? Is the $44M signing bonus gone regardless?
Ray Fittipaldo

Unsure if the new allegations factor into the legal side of the contract, but I am guessing the Browns are stuck paying him.

Miles Jack is a likely improvement over Schobert. Levi Wallace is likely a step down from Haden. Why should I believe the defense is good enough to win over 7.5 games? It feels they are going to get trucked in the run game again.

You might be right about the run defense, but Alualu could make a big difference.

Ray, do you think that HCMT had Merrill Hoge "go after" D Bush, on air, to give him a push?  Thanks.
Ray Fittipaldo

Um, no.

Would you allow DJ to play through his contract especially with the new talent we have or potentially overpay him?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:26
I don't think they have a problem letting him play the year without a new deal. They've done it plenty of other times with receivers over the years.

What’s your take on Cole? I don’t know a lot about him. Is he a road grader that can help the run?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:26
He's a good run blocker, but don't know if I would categorize him as a road grader.

Do you go to training camp each day at SVC?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:27
Pretty much all of them.

Diontae Johnson on "film don't lie." Drops don't lie! Do you think Johnson will be humbled by his new competition before contract talks start?
Ray Fittipaldo

He's an established No. 1 receiver on this team. I am sure he respects the new guys, but he's not worried about them taking his spot. At least not this year.
OK I have to run to practice. On vacation next week so we'll chat again later in the summer.
