Unless the Browns drop the asking price significantly I do not see the Panthers getting him although the interest is definitely there 

If we didn't give Watson what he wanted I doubt we give a 1st for a darnald clone.

Not really. 

If you make a move from Sam next season it needs to be a monumental improvement. 

A Russel Wilson Aaron Rodgers type improvement. Otherwise stay the course till we draft someone. 

I don't want some Baker Mayfield POS who isn't very good and all his teammates hate.

Phuck that.

I can understand arguing that we shouldn't pursue Mayfield. I'm not arguing that we should. But our fans have quickly forgotten just how atrocious Darnold is. 

Mayfield's TD:INT ratio is 92:56. Darnold a is 54:52.

Darnold could never have a 3500 yard season with 26 TDs vs. 8 INTs. He was throwing double digit INTs even in college.

Honestly, if Mayfield had Darnold's attitude he'd probably have an extension in Cleveland. Darnold's a good dude, he's just an awful QB. Mayfield has shown he can be a good QB but he's cocky as hell and I'm not sure that cockiness will ever allow him to be coached into being consistently good.

I just can’t understand how some fans are willing to take a chance on “childish” Baker, that’s the words of the Browns, but were annoyed by Cam. It doesn’t make sense. 
 

I don’t want Baker because I wasn’t impressed by what he did on the field. Now, I do give him some leeway due to his injury, but even before that, I just wasn’t impressed.

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

Hence why I say affordable. If it's a 3rd rounder or less, what is the real risk? Play him here for a year and then if it doesn't work jettison him. No 5th year pick up, none of that stupid poo. A one year rental to try.

Otherwise, why? We are just making another Teddy/Sam deal.

He's on his 5th year so it's the same money we're paying now for Sam, that's the issue for me. I'd rather have Minshew for the same trade with less cap hit

      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.
