If I were him, I would.  He has been a good QB for them for over a decade now - face of that franchise.  And now you want his help to bring in your replacement?  Haha, screw that.  I'd tell any team interesting in trading for me that I wouldn't suit up...make the Falcons release me and eat that 50M in dead money

And the report that he was notified last week of this is now in major doubt. It’s why I have this conspiracy theory that all of this is fake and is just a way to pump up the trade value.

For what? Baker couldnt do poo in Cleveland with a loaded roster. He is a Darnold level QB. 

Do poo? They made the playoffs last season and came within minutes of beating the Chiefs and going to the AFC Championship. Darnold hasn't even had a winning season or made the playoffs.

Naw falcons need to be within the same ballpark as everyone else or they won’t trade him there. Texans still have some power here. DW threatens to sit next season and they go after his money.

the falcons don't have the quality young talent to add to the deal that carolina has is my point. Panthers can offer chinn, brown, horn, burns. Falcons can offer Grady Jarrett and that's about it

solid point. Baker could not deliver with the Browns even with their talent loaded team. 

And then packed it in within a day when the Browns explored a trade for DW. Big no thanks to Baker I would rather draft one than settle for that.

Ok he is a Jimmy G/Carson Wentz level QB who is about to need a new contract, i do not want to give up assets for that sort of a QB who is going to command a high dollar contract without deserving it. 

He is not worlds better than Darnold, maybe a little better.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
