Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio tells Rich why the Cleveland Browns were willing to overlook Deshaun Watson’s possible off-field transgressions when trading for him and signing him to a record contract, that it’s entirely possible Watson will be put on paid leave for the entire 2022 season while the NFL investigates the civil claims against him, and if it’s possible Colin Kaepernick gets another shot to play in the NFL again.

Rich comments on Deshaun Watson’s record contract and how it will impact future deals for the likes of Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray and others. 

Rich and TJ comment on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the Academy Awards and what it means for the Oscars, Smith and Rock moving forward, and ponders if the Seahawks could be in the market for Jimmy Garoppolo if the 49ers decide to cut him or would be better off pursuing Baker Mayfield or bringing in Colin Kaepernick.
