Didn’t Larry go on record saying Jets should draft Watson before the draft but the GM laughed at him and took Sam Darnold

He was talking about Lamar. Watson got drafted the year before Darnold.Didn’t Larry go on record saying Jets should draft Watson before the draft but the GM laughed at him and took Sam Darnold

What leverage? It's not like he's in the last year of a deal.

He has a no trade clause

That's not leverage. I simply make you play your deal out.

Lol he’s gonna just hold out, if he doesn’t want to play he is not gonna play

He doesn't get paid and he loses time off of his prime. The owner can deal with it.

You think Lamar would be an MVP if the Jets drafted him. I'm not making excuses for Darnold but c'mon breh.

Lol he has 111 mil in guaranteed bread on this contract, and we don’t even know how much the signing bonus was
money is not the issue nor does it really matter here, Watson clearly has the leverage

Watson doesn't really have all the leverage unless he's willing to hold out. His signing bonus is spread out over the length of the contract and he was only paid ~$7M of the $27M bonus. If he were to hold out he wouldn't be paid the portion left or his salary; the guaranteed money is automatic if he holds out, just basically if he's cut or career injury
