They're not getting out of the trade, it's done and finished.The suggestion is that the 24th case could enable the Browns to get out of the guarantees as only the first 23 were known at the time of the deal, and apparently 23 cases is no impediment to paying a rapist $230M to make football go brrr, but a 24th case is a step too far.
Laws don't have to fit ethics or even common sense. Just technicalities.
I don't see the Browns doing it though. The damage is already done, and cutting him because they find a loophole doesn't fix their reputation any. Might as well commit to the whole shitty mess now and hope that in a few years he's performing well enough on the field to at least provide themselves with some kind of justification for it.
The Browns are somewhat shielded by the fact that he hasn't been convicted legally, so they can just hide behind that for now.
He shook my hand breed tub and walked away
No, they can't.
They are losing fans over this
I agree. They can't get the picks back anyway. The Browns are somewhat shielded by the fact that he hasn't been convicted legally, so they can just hide behind that for now. If he doesn't lose the lawsuit, fans will forget and he'll still be a star. That's just reality. The NFL isn't as lucky, they will have to punish him regardless of the legal outcome.
Ban MJ.
Trevor Bauer wasn't convicted either. That still hasn't stopped baseball from instituting a two year suspension. For the Browns to pay the price they paid without having finality on this is just absolutely freaking amazing. Total organizational malpractice. And it's not like they were the only interested party!
MLB is not NFL
,I'm saying the Browns don't need to do anything before the NFL does. People are shitting on the Browns for not doing anything yet as well as the NFL.
I agree completely, If I were the Browns I'd do absolutely nothing. It's the NFL's job to hand down punishment. There's nothing to gain by being proactive on that front. At the same time, I just question the wisdom of paying the price they did in picks and in dollars on a new contract to someone who has this much of a controversial situation hanging over their head.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that the NFL shouldn't punish him now, I'm saying the Browns don't need to do anything before the NFL does. People are shitting on the Browns for not doing anything yet as well as the NFL.
