Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six
newsletter!I was going to spend the first five minutes of
today's newsletter bragging about my bracket, but that
thing has been in the trash since Saturday because that's
what happens when you pick Tenne see to win it all.
Thanks for nothing Tenne see.Of course, it's probably for
the best that I won't be talking about my bracket because
we need to spend
jerseys">Javon Kinlaw Jersey as much time as po
sible discu sing everything that happened in the over the
past 72 hours, because it was a crazy 72 hours. The fun
when decided he wanted to play for the and it's been
total chaos since then.We'll be going over the details of
the Watson trade, plus we'll be taking a look at the huge
weekend that the had. Also, we'll be taking a look at the
top 10 free agents who are still left on the free agent
market.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all
your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have
to do is . Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1.
Today's show: Monday Mailbag!During the NFL offseason, we
like to spice things up each week on the Pick Six Podcast
by adding a listener mailbag every Monday.Our mailbag
episodes are pretty simple: We read listener questions
during the show and then answer as many of those
questions as po sible. Questions can be about literally
anything. I mean, I'm pretty sure there was one time when
someone asked if I prefer the left Twix or the right
Twix, so if we'll answer that question, trust me when I
say we'll answer almost anything (Also, the answer is
always left Twix).Anyway, if you want to submit a
question, all you have to do is go to Apple Podcasts ( )
and leave a five-star review that includes your question.
Here's one question that Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I
answered in today's mailbag:Q: Now that is out of Green
Bay and with the losing a couple of other pieces already,
has the NFC North opened back up? Packers are far, far,
far from a lock. Do the go all in on this season now?
Especially given that they have committed to as the
short-term succe sful option at quarterback.A:The biggest
winner of the Davante Adams trade might have been VIKINGS
FANS and that's because it looks like they've now
convinced themselves that they might be able to win the
NFC North this year and the thing is, I DONT'T think
jerseys">Nick Mullens Jersey that's such a crazy
idea. There's no team in the NFL that had worse luck than
the Vikings last year. I mean, eight of their nine lo ses
came by just one score. The Vikings are a good team that
just couldn't finish games and when you lose a lot of
close games, coaching tends to play a part in that. With
Mike Zimmer out and Kevin O'Connell in charge now, I
think we'll see Minnesota open up its offense. The
Vikings have the best skill players in
jerseys">Reuben Foster Jersey the NFC North, so the
offense should be able to put on a show this year. I
don't want to say Vikings fans have already brainwashed
me, but I feel like Minnesota has a legitimate shot to
win the division. If I had to bet now, I'd probably take
the Packers, but I won't be surprised if I talk myself
into the Vikings by the time August rolls around.Anyway,
to listen to the rest of the mailbag, . You can .By the
way, we ALSO had an emergency podcast on the Deshaun
Watson trade and . 2. Deshaun Watson shockingly traded
to the Browns: Full trade details, plus grading the deal
for both teamsNormally, I don't like to start things off
the top here with news from something that happened on
FRIDAY, but since that day gave us one of the biggest
trades in NFL history, we're going to make an exception
here. In a shocking turn of events, Deshaun Watson
decided he wanted to play for a team that he had
previously decided he didn't want to play for: The
Cleveland Browns.Watson originally had four finalists for
his services: The Browns, , and .Last week, he eliminated
the Browns (on March 16) and Panthers (on March 17) and
it looked like he was going to be dealt to the Falcons or
Saints, but then he apparently had a change of heart.
Actually, I'm not so sure it was a change of heart, it
feels more like the Browns simply offered him a contract
he couldn't refuse. Here's along with his record-
breaking new contract and some ramifications of the
deal:Browns receive:Deshaun Watson, 2024 fifth-round pick
receive:2022 first-round pick (13th overall), 2023 first-
round pick, 2024 first-round pick, 2023 third-round pick
and 2024 fourth-round pickWatson lands the largest
guaranteed contract in NFL historyTo make the trade
happen, the Browns gave Watson a five-year deal worth a
total of $230 million
pet-gear">San Francisco 49Ers Pet Gear , which is an
average of $46 million per year. The history-making part
here is that the entire contract is GUARANTEED, which
means Watson will be getting every dollar.The contract
was set up so that Watson won't take a hit if he gets
suspended. In the first year of the deal Watson will only
make the veteran minimum of $1.035 million in base
salary. The QB did this to protect himself in case he
gets suspended. With such a low base salary, Watson will
only lose out on $57,500 for each week he's suspended. In
the final four years of the deal, he'll make $46 million
per year. If he had made that for 2022, his po sible
suspension would put him out $2.56 million per
game.Browns make multiple QB moves over the weekend. Not
only did the Browns trade for Watson, but they also made
another QB trade over the weekend when they dealt to .
With Keenum gone, the Browns then pulled off a third move
at quarterback by signing to serve as Watson's backup.
trade will be coming soon. We mentioned on Friday that
Baker Mayfield is demanding a trade and with Watson now
in Cleveland, that trade will likely be coming soon. Once
the Browns trade Mayfield, they'll pick up $18.86 million
in much-needed cap space. Mayfield reportedly wants to be
traded to the , but it's unclear if the Browns will
appease his wishes for a trade to Indy or trade him to
the highest bidder, which might not be the Colts.This
deal jerseys">Bruce Ellington Jersey was a no-brainer
for the Texans. Not only did they get Watson out of
Houston, but they landed three first-round picks in the
proce s. Now, the pre sure is on the Texans not to waste
those three first-round picks. Of the four first-round
picks the Texans have made since 2015, only one of them
is still with the team.On the Browns' end, the trade has
the potential to turn them into a playoff contender for
the next decade. Watson could also help the team end the
NFL's longest drought without a division title (The
Browns haven't won their division since 1989). Of course,
this deal does come with some serious risk. Watson hasn't
played football in more than a year, not to mention, he's
been accused of sexual a sault or misconduct by 22
different women and each of those accusations comes with
a civil lawsuit. There's a very good chance
