The investigative journalist dropped a massive truth bomb regarding the NFL's inside discussions following Deshaun Watson's deal with the Browns.

This is a BIG deal.

The NFL colluded and discouraged owners from giving guaranteed contracts to veterans. This was right after the disaster contract that Deshaun Watson received.

This should be headline news in the sports world right now https://t.co/cMz4KalJ

The 61-page collusion ruling, which is now public, includes never-before-disclosed details about specific player negotiations. Including, most notably, Lamar Jackson's protracted talks with the Ravens. https://t.co/c2PrFLoee3

According to the investigation, the NFL owners conspired to deny veteran players guaranteed contracts in a concerted effort after the Cleveland Browns gave star quarterback Deshaun Watson a fully-guaranteed deal after his trade from the Houston Texans.
The 61-page report, which was also broken down by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, also suggested that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson sought a guaranteed contract back in 2022, and that led to team general manager Eric DeCosta asking the superstar for a list of teams that he would want to be traded to.

Owners colluding!!!!!

Shocking.

Arbiter: NFL urged clubs to limit guaranteed deals, didn't collude

"There is little question that the NFL Management Council, with the blessing of the commissioner, encouraged the 32 NFL clubs to reduce guarantees in veterans' contracts at the March 2022 annual owners meeting," Droney wrote.

Take off your tin foil hat. Just another day on this planet 24/7/365 with nobody conspiring. Especially the NFL!!! They have never been caught with their hands in the cookie jar! Nothing to see here, these aren't the droids you are looking for. Move along, move along.

Everybody hold hands and put a flower in your hair! It's all good!
