Do want. Very much so. Love the cost is only going down. We don't HAVE to have him, could easily draft Pickett or Willis at 6 and sign Duane Brown. Browns can't cut him. We hold the cards here for a change. 

End of the day, as I've said in several threads - We are a playoff team with Baker Mayfield. He instantly at worse becomes a top 6 QB in the NFC. 

On top of that he truly sets us for BPA at 6: 

Want to draft a top 3 LT and slide them inside at LG for a year? You can.

Want to take Willis at 6 and let him sit for a year and go the Alex Smith/Mahommes route? You can. 

One of the top two DEs fell because all 3 LTs plus Kyle Hamilton/any QB went top 5?  You can. 

Best case Baker lights it up and we have 3 more years of Franchise tag control to negotiate a long term deal or are in position to flip him for picks if we took Willis and he's ready to roll. 

Worst case he flops, we suck, Rhule is gone Baker is gone, Darnold is gone and we have either a solid team for a rookie in 2023 to slide into or Willis/Pickett entering their second season ready to take over.

With Jameis Winston signing with the Saints I'd say Baker's possible landing places are:

Seattle

Carolina

Houston

That's about it, unless a surprise team enters the fold like NYG or DET.

The Texans are expected to stick with Davis Mills.

I read mariota to Atlanta if Ryan goes to Indy--do not remember where I saw it.

 

Jimmy G is out--we do not have time for him to heal for 4 months.

Baker is in play--he would allow us to draft a stud LT.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
