The Cleveland Browns

Ian Rapoport retweeted it with the quote "Officially official."

You may be thinking of the Falcons. They were going to need to move Matt Ryan's contract before they could acquire Watson.

I see now. Point still stands, the Browns have to pay a team to take Baker. He has too much money guaranteed.

I want.  He's on a prove-it deal, and at his peak had a better season than Darnold could ever dream of.  And if it doesn't work out, almost nothing lost.

There are two downsides as I see it.  Baker may already post 2017 Cam with the constant injuries and if healthy all year, he'll save Rhule's @ss.

I told you guys the Panthers would be in play for Mayfield. The problem is the Browns want a 1st for him. No go for me. 

Panthers should go after Minshew.

No way they get a first. There trade options are VERY small at this point. I bet it'll be a 3rd max

He is going to Seattle.  They are in the best position to accommodate him.

That would suck for Mayfield.  Seattle is going to be in total rebuild and probably have a terrible year and be on the market in 2023 without much to show for a starting gig.

I'm torn between yes and no. He had all the talent in the world around him in Cleveland and just could keep it going after 2020.  His injuries don't help him much either.

With us he'd be in the same boat as Darnold.  Show or go.

I think Minshew is a better option and a much lower cost.   I think Philly is reluctant to let him go though. Hurst could regress or get hurt and they are back to ground zero.

It is a little bit intriguing if the pick is low/set for next year as a conditional pick or something based on performance.

 I agree.  We could get a stud  at 6…plug-in baker behind that line and with our weapons…if he balls out we can sign him or tag and trade him and if he sucks/attitude problem/injured…he goes out the door and takes Rhule with him.

Not saying I’d do it…depends on their evaluation of Pickett. Whichever one Rhule wants to do pick the opposite 😆

If we got him, he'd be on a 1-year contract ($18.8m) and we could let him go if he sucked.  We would then be drafting a QB in the 2023 draft.  If we draft Pickett and he sucks, we are on the hook for 4 years.  So there is an upside to Mayfield.  He has played well when not injured and he is effective when he has time.  I am not sure about his maturity and leadership---but he comes off like a prick to me, and that is problematic if you are a QB.

You mean Hurts--and the other side of that coin:  How good is he if he cant beat out Hurts?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
