Why would anybody do that? Trades require a partner

Yeah, IF someone takes on Darnold we're going to still be paying $10-15M of his salary and giving up a decent rookie. It's obvious teams are waiting for the Browns to eventually cut Baker and eat all that cap hit so someone can sign him for cheap. Why would Darnold be any different?

You don’t know that. And that would be incredibly stupid. Why make a deal like that?

Trubisky is getting like $7M from the Steelers, Teddy $10M from the Dolphins so that's the market for a question mark/backup QB. And yes why make that deal? That's probably in the ballpark of whats being offered but we don't really have any option besides keep him or take a shitty deal to get rid of him

Trading Darnold shifts his entire cap hit to the other team no? Looks like it according to the normal cap sites.

Sure we might give up Hubbard in that deal but who would be the other side? 

 

Not sure if 5th year options are different but we paid 70% of Teddy's salary last year for him to play for the Broncos, otherwise we were probably stuck with him

Say if you're the Texans GM or whatever, and you take on $19M for Darnold and Shi Smith and send away a 3rd round pick you should be fired immediately. If you do it and send away nothing you should still probably be fired

If they only wanted Shi in the deal then fine. Ship him but Shi has upside. Give them Chuba or Fletch. 
 

I’ll call it now, they trade BC. He doesn’t fit into McAdoo’s scheme and another team would want him.

you didnt answer my question.  Why would we still be paying $10-$15M

 

I do agree that would be stupid for another team to do.

We paid 70% of Teddy's 2021 salary for the Broncos to take him. I'm basing that concept off that trade, not sure if 5th year options are different

yeah im honestly wondering how that would work

I think Teddy actually restructured just to get out of Rhule world actually now that i'm looking at it. If that's the case and the 5th year option is all or nothing and I"m another GM I want Chinn w Darnold or I have zero interest.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
