He's really no better than Sam

Oh he is definitely better than Sam Darnold. The problem is that is a low bar to hit. Is he better enough to matter? Unlikely.

I am fine getting Baker but it needs to be pretty affordable and not with a contract extension or any othet ignorant BS. A price that isn't steep and a real out if it doesn't work.

Not Teddy/Sam Contract 3.0

I’d rather Baker and Cross at 6 than Duane Brown and Pickett at 6 

I can’t think of any faster way to lock the team in nfl purgatory than this right here

id honestly just disengage entirely

With the torn labrum and the 5th year option/potentially hitting FA if he plays well it's a waste of time/another gamble. Plus he's generally dislikable and I'm already sick of him from all those commercials

Y’all realize he and Sam have the exact same salary right?

The Browns, and no other team, want Sam Darnold. 
 

We have like 20M cap space. Baker would take 18. 
 

No.

At best I could think of a 3 way trade for us to get baker and a pick, and ship Darnold and that pick to the Texans or whoever. But why wouldn't the Texans/whoever just bypass us and send Baker directly somewhere else? If we didn't sign Sams option we could have gotten the 4th back and Baker but too late for that

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
