Why would you trade away a young player for that?  What's the point?  Hes off the books after this season.  We already have plenty of cap for this offseason, I'm not sure why they would trade away a young player to have more.  Just let him walk after this season if it comes to all that.

Even if you don't use it you can carry it over.

And what’s the plan with that $$?

all the top guys in FA are gone that would require you to open space for.

trading away a young player Just to get Darnold off your books for 1 years is 2010-2018 Browns esq.  That’s what bad organizations do.

It does seem like cutting your nose off to spite your face kind of thing.

So they ship Darnold and a "young player" plus half Sam's salary most likely to do what? 

They would be left with PJ Walker and two vacant roster spots at QB to fill. With meager FA pickings and word they are reportedly not taking one in the draft I just don't see a plan here. It's like Watson was the only plan they had.  He was plan A thru Z.

I'm going to have to stock up on popcorn.

I must admit I'm not really familiar with how all that works.  Only a small percentage of it carries over right?   It doesnt seem worth trading a young player away.  Just take the 18m free next year.

I'm assuming it wouldn't be a young star player. Honestly, it was probably just Sheena throwing mud at the wall.

Most of them are. Pickett is the age of a lot of kids coming out of grad school. He always looked very mediocre until he was a lot older and a lot more experienced than his competition. Huge red flag.

Pickett is literally 1 year and 1 day younger than Sam. He's at his peak/reached his ceiling physically. I'm not sold on him throwing against a bunch of 20 year old Troy Pride/Darryl Worley level talent. He's like a meeting Sam and Teddy in the middle, that's my pro comp

Wrong. He's over two years older than Howell.

Pickett was born in September 1998, Howell June 2000.

* Oh wait, sorry you meant Darnold. Disregard.

Honestly, my pro comp is a poor man's Alex Smith. The physical tools are intriguing but then you watch him play and the whole is a lot less than the sum of the parts. Nothing pops in the game. He's just a guy out there.

It's not even a discussion in my opinion..

It took Pickett 5 years to produce a season better then Howell worst season...

Sometimes an athlete can put things together years later into his career. I grew up an avid fan of MLB history. I was always intrigued by Sandy Koufax. His W-L as a Dodger pitcher was 36-40 in his first SIX SEASONS.

Over the next 6 seasons he went 129-47 and he won 3 CY Young Awards. Sometimes things just click later for some people than others. 🤔

I was with you until you said Mayfield. 

less of a want and more of an expectation, honestly. hell, the browns might even want Darnold as a temporary starter if Watson faces supplemental discipline from the league or isn't reinstated. stranger things have happened. both teams don't want to pay these guys.

Yeah I think on the right team could be Alex Smith lite but with Rhule he's more of a Blaine Gabbert

Evidently in our talks with the Browns we wanted them to pay a chunk of his salary like we did with Teddy trading him to Denver. That wouldn't be a bad deal to kick the tires. I just think the guy's cockiness is getting in the way and I'm not sure that's fixable. All QBs worth anything walk a fine line between cocky and confident but Baker is on the wrong side of it IMO.

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
