BROWNS FINALLY SIGN QUINSHON JUDKINS

BROWNS FINALLY SIGN QUINSHON JUDKINS

All right, so somewhat breaking news here. The Browns have finally signed Quinn Sean Junkkins, their second round pick. This is another step, and I want to be clear on that. It’s another step. This does not mean that this is over or that we’re done dealing with the off the- field situation. Um, but one step that to be honest I felt like should have been taken care of in the summer has finally been taken care of before week one at least. The Browns have signed Quinn Sean Junkkins to his normal um it looks like his normal second round deal. Right now the big question with the fully guaranteed it was always going to be fully guaranteed. The question is, is the clause in there if Quinn Sean gets suspended where the guaranteed money goes away or can be voided if the Browns choose to do so? That’s what the battle was about, right? The contract was always going to be fully guaranteed. That’s just what happens with rookie pay scale contracts, especially in the first three rounds or first two rounds. The big question was, was this contract going to have the clause in it where you can void it because of a suspension? A lot of contracts have that, especially with players who have a history of suspension in the past. Whenever you hear a agent in a team debating about language, this is usually the language that they’re debating. So, that’s the big question. Right? Now, I know people are saying guaranteed thinks that answers a big question of it. That doesn’t really answer the big question, right? The big question is if the NFL does hand down a suspension with Quinn Sean, um, does that change the Browns ability to handle his contract and his guarantees going forward? We don’t really have an answer on that as far as I can tell. I’ve been trying to search around and see if anybody has any insight to this. Um, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. I’m literally looking right as we go on and I’m not seeing anything. So, there’s that. The contract is signed. Now, what’s Quinn Sean’s legal situation? How is this going to play out? All of this stuff. Well, let’s talk about that as well because it’s a huge part to this whole Quinshan Juckens um saga. Now, per Ian Rapaort, and I’ll put this up on screen here, the Cleveland Browns are signing second round running back Quinn Sean Junkkins to his fully guaranteed deal. Sources say all draft picks are now under contract. Quinn Shai Junkkins legal situation um is behind him. No charges were filed though a NFL is still conducting an investigation. Now there’s a big question here with the NFL conducting its investigation. The fact that Quinn Sean Juckkins has not had any camp uh to kind of get prepared. Obviously, he’s not going to be ready for week one. What does that mean in terms of his roster spot? Well, we found out more information on this. This was something I was concerned about because I’m like, “Hey, if Quinshan signs before week one, you’re going to have to cut somebody because he’s going to be on your roster, but he’s not going to be able to play. So, how do you handle that?” Apparently, there are rules that help the Cleveland Browns in this kind of a situation, and those are the rules the Browns are going to try to seek out. This is per Tom Pelisero who says the Browns are expected to get so this is not just they’re seeking they’re expected to get a temporary exemption for running back Quinn Sean Junkkins who is signing a fully guaranteed contract. This is unrelated to the league’s ongoing disciplinary process and it’s standard for players who miss camp and can last up to two games. So basically, there is an exemption rule in place for the Browns that can help them out if the NFL grants it to them. And it looks like the NFL is expected to grant it to him. Nothing about this situation seems like the NFL won’t grant it to him. Seems like what this rule was for. And what this rule is for is for a situation like Quinn Sean Junkkins. You have a draft pick, there’s a hold out for whatever reason that lasts throughout camp. You finally get the deal done before the season starts. but that player is not going to be ready to go because of the hold out for the first couple weeks of the season. So, you as a team aren’t going to be charged a roster spot for having that player signed for at least a couple of weeks while that player ramps up. It’s kind of similar to the ramp up period um at the end of a suspension. You guys remember when Deshawn got suspended, he was like not coming back to like week 11, but I think around week eight, he was allowed to practice again and gradually ramp back up. This is an expedited version of that, right? Where he doesn’t count on the roster, but he can practice, he can participate um in these things. So, that’s one huge part of this. Again, I don’t want to throw a parade, right? Cuz the Browns signed their second round pick. Um, but this is a huge part of this that really should have been done during the summer for whatever reason. Whether it’s the agents, whether it’s Andrew Barry’s fault, uh, this this thing, I think both sides of this should have got this done a long time ago because regardless of if Quinn Sean Junkkins gets suspended or not now, he’s going to miss like two games and that’s just a disaster, right? It’s not a failure. It doesn’t make the pick a failure automatically, but it is the worst possible start to his NFL career possible. And if you’re Andrew Barry and you selected this guy in the top 40, you used one of the picks, you got in the Travis Hunter trade for him, you clearly believe in this kid to be a gamechanging player for you. This kind of start to his career does him a disservice. It does you a disservice. If you’re Quinshan Judkins, if you’re his agent, this does nothing but you two disservice, right? Again, you still could be suspended. You’re going to miss two games because you have to ramp up. Who won here? Nobody won in this contract situation. This is just a poorly handled situation. Um, and look, I don’t know who’s more responsible. I’m not in the rooms, but all I can say is I know Andrew Barry’s involved. I know Quinn Sean Judkins is involved. I know his agent is involved. All three of them, this is not a good situation. This is a poor situation. And this is a situation that didn’t have to be this way. Yes. Is it super unfortunate for the Cleveland Browns that Quinn Junkkins surprised them by getting into this domestic violence situation? Is it something that Quinnshan should have avoided being in in the first place? if he doesn’t get in this trouble, if he finds a way to not have these kind of accusations against him, if if it was avoidable or not, I don’t know. But if he can find his way out of this kind of trouble and not be involved in this, not have this case take up time um in his life, take up energy in his life, yes, he would be better off and none of this would have happened. But after this thing happened, how this was handled by everybody involved, I can’t say it’s good, right? It’s the one black mark in this whole off seasonason. We’ve been talking about it. The vibes have been better in the offseason. It’s been feeling like the Browns are moving on the right track. The only thing that makes you go, damn, h I don’t know about that one is this situation right here, right? The Quenshan Jkins situation. Um, it’s the one black mark in this entire off season. And I can’t say confidently that this has been handled well. This has been handled to my liking. We got a second round pick here who’s not going to play in the first game of the year, who’s not going to play in the second game of the year and might get suspended after that. If you’re Quinn Sean, you might have extended your suspension. Hell, what if you don’t get suspended? You held out all this time and you missed two games. What did you miss those two games for? Right? The NFL is not going to give him time serve, by the way. Maybe they consider that, maybe they don’t. But if you’re going into this thinking, well, Quinshan’s gonna miss the first two games. Um, even though he’s gonna get paid for those games, even though um and part of suspension is not getting paid those games, that the NFL is going to go, “Oh, okay. Well, we were going to suspend him four games. Now we’re just going to do two.” Maybe that happens, but it’s not very likely. The most they can suspend him for is what, six games. So, if they go for the maximum here and then he misses two games, it’s half the season almost. Again, this is not how you wanted this guy’s career to start. And again, I understand unforeseen circumstances. You didn’t expect this popping up. Maybe even Quinnshan didn’t expect to get in this kind of trouble um in July, right? Like that. That’s entirely possible. How everything was handled after the fact is what I’m criticizing. I’m not criticizing this situation for existing. I’ve already done that, right? What I’m criticizing is how this situation was handled after it already existed. I don’t think the Browns should have got him into camp. I don’t know what the hold up here was, but the Browns should have got him in the camp. It’s a rookie contract. There’s not that much negotiate. Just get the guy into camp because if he’s not going to get suspended, you want him ready. If he’s not going to be suspended week one, you want him ready. You want to get him ready. You want to get his career started on the right foot. The Browns should have did what they needed to do to get him in camp. And if you’re Quinn Sean’s agent, you got to understand the guy is going through a situation that’s pretty unique for a second round pick. And you can’t be trying to play hard ball right now. Like both of y’all should have figured this out in July and now this player’s put in the bad situation. The team’s not put in the greatest situation. Um, and now Quinn Johnson spent a whole year trying to catch up on the two months that he left out. And it’s a damn shame that he even got in this trouble in the first place because before all of this broke out when you were hearing about OTAAS and mini camps, people were in the building talking about Quinn Sean as if he were Nick Chub, right? You see all the praise Carson Swissinger’s getting. You see all the praise Mason Graham’s getting. There’s a good chance that if Quinn Sean plays in the preseason, plays during training camp, he’s in that spot. But this situation was a failure. how this situation was handled was a failure. That’s only one part of this. The contract signed now. Now we can focus on what he does in his career as a Cleveland Brown. But I can’t help but be disappointed that his career has gotten off on this wrong of a foot. And look, the situation existing, that is one thing. And obviously that is unacceptable if he is guilty of what he’s been accused of. But on top of that situation existing, how that situation was handled by the team, can’t say I endorse it, right? Can’t say I thought it was a great way to handle it. He should have been in this building. They should have just dealt with this a long time ago. Now it’s week one. We’re talking about roster exemptions, so he can’t play a couple of weeks. Basically, putting him on a list um and then seeing if he gets suspended. Now, you can very realistically get him on a ramp up period. He gets ready. He’s ready to play in two weeks for week three and then the NFL drops a suspension. Like I don’t know if the Browns were waiting on the NFL to drop a suspension or if Quinn Sean was wait. Either way, I don’t really care how it happened. The the sequence of events that resulted in your 40th pick, your top 40 pick not signing until literally the day before the first game of the season is a failure. doesn’t mean people need to be fired. It doesn’t mean that I think everybody sucks. It doesn’t mean that I think Quinn Sean’s going to stink. But it does mean in this situation, in a vacuum, I don’t like it. That’s my thoughts on this. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Everybody have a great day. Have even better night. Peace.
