This particular NFL exec doesn’t see Tepper letting Rhule mortgage the franchise’s future

I hope you're right, but I'm skeptical.

This. 

Any owner making smart football decisions would've fired Rhule at the end of the 2021 season.

Exactly!

how does “we’re signing good free agents” even reconcile with “tepper isn’t letting rhule mortgage our future!”

most of these contracts are for one season

Exactly.  Future is not being mortgaged.  1 season.

signing good players to a one year deal is not an ideal lol

I already responded to this earlier. The proven players got multi year contacts.

I assumed you had considered the Ravens center as being one of the centerpieces of their class, he only received a one year deal as I recall

He just moved to center last year and had success. Before that he was an ok OG. He got a 1 year 2.8 million dollar contract. That’s shows where the market sees him. He should be solid, but that one year protects us in case he fails.

I have to think the Browns must pay 50-75% of his contract in order to get a late round pick, sorta like with the Teddy deal with the panthers....

If Browns do that and Baker is 8 million for a 2024 7th....Im up for a gamble. Panthers would only be paying the QB room around 30 million in total, thats not too bad......if you dont look at the names....

Could ease the pressure to draft a Qb at 6 which I would view as a positive. Why should anyone want whoever chose (and paid) the last two Qbs to choose another?

Is not an ideal what?

Situation?

or maybe “…one year deal is not ideal…”

Either way that’s correct.

Nothing about this is ideal, nor is it an ideal situation.

Baker would be just a test to see if hes sticks. 2020 Baker was pettty dam good, recent was meh... I mean panthers not only need a starter, but a backup.....AND maybe a developmental type as well. I could see drafting one AND adding baker/minshew/jimmy. Plus Im not 100% Sam Darnold is pure trash either, hated the move for him, but for 4 seasons he has been running for his life nearly right after the snap.

I don’t really know what is happening behind the scenes but QB has to be at the top of the debates.  I find it hard to believe anyone is talking Tepper into rolling with Darnold for another year but who knows.

I will stand with this prediction…if Neal and Ikey are gone we will take Pickett.  Might take Pickett anyway.

Pickett would be a solid pick IMO.

I think the main reason for hiring Ben Macado was his NFL QB success. Rhule and whoever else has been making the QB decisions since the day 1 Rhule era, needs to be banned for all QBs decisions. Give Ben ALLLLLL the QB power.

I see improving the roster, especially the OL, as a better plan than giving up all kinds of stuff for someone that isn't That much better than Darnold could be with that kind of help.

 

And I don't understand the We Have To Win This Year mentality. I don't see the point of a 9-8 season myself. I'd rather be rid of Rhule, rid of Darnold, with a nice high pick in 2023. 2-15 would be alright with me to be honest.
