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

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
