Mr. Scot

Some are speculating that Garoppolo could end up traded to the Browns. Don't think anybody sees him going to the Seahawks, for certain. Obviously the Panthers are out, so there's not much in the way of other choices left.

Oh, I get the reference

As a guy with nine parakeets, that one doesn't work so well for me (granted, one of em bit me on the ass a couple of days ago)

Nope...or not much of one at least. Panthers QB Davis Cheek

John's started his film study. Always get good info from these...

He's the backup.

Was dating this girl many years ago, went to meet her parents for the first time. They invited me to have dinner at their house. Playing in the background on their living room TV? That movie. Right as dinner is being served...that scene. Yikes!

"...just not at our practice facility" Ouch... And yeah, if I'm the Seahawks I probably am taking a look at just how little it took to trade for him and wondering "what if". I mean...Geno Smith? Drew Lock? Oy!

On that front, here's a "string theory" type observation... Let's say Rhule is fired. THE OL coach for the Browns over Mayfield's last two seasons was Bill Callahan. Callahan's son Brian is said to have a good chance at becoming an NFL head coach in the coming years. Mind you, there's no guarantee Mayfield stays here beyond this season. Nor is it known what type of relationship he and Callahan have... ...but hey, it's a thought

Maybe he feels it?

Williams had been on board with trading for Mayfield pretty much from the get-go...

Side Note: Outside of Mayfield trading something to Johnny Hekker for number 6, they are only two potential "quarterback" numbers currently available on the roster. One of them is #13. The other...is #1

Also...

That I'm not Miss Cleo?

Ellis weighs in...

I mean realistically, even if Mayfield doesn't turn out to be great, it's not like we gave up a lot to get him. Hell, we gave up less for Mayfield than we did for Sam Darnold or even Matt Corral.

On the flipside... Damn Feel like it wasn't that long ago that everybody was singing Andrew Berry's praises...

Sometimes I wonder if it's worse to have a mix of competent and incompetent team leadership rather than just incompetence all around. The hard part when you've got a mix is sometimes it's tough to tell where the incompetence lies.

Was that under Mornhinweg? I know it wasn't Wayne Fontes.

Has been for as long as he's been on here

Consistent pattern: He swore the Texans would never trade Watson and they'd make him play too.

I don't think it was done for the long term. The guy who currently holds the ultimate sign off power isn't necessarily assured that he has a long-term.

Wasn't that long ago, really... What made it stick out in my mind though was that he found some no-name reporter and tried to build them up as if they were a better source than established writers like Mary Kay Cabot and Tony Grossi

I'm not a real big fan of one year rentals, but for a conditional fourth / fifth rounder two years from now, throwing in that his old team pays the majority of his salary? That's not a bad deal at all.

Anish Shroff brought up the possibility while talking to Ellis. Barring injury, Florio doesn't think he winds up anywhere. Not sure I buy the idea that nobody will sign him, but I'd agree the doorway back to the Panthers locker room is probably closed...and likely for good. Seattle was the only other team reported to have shown interest thus far, but that could change.
