I think if that would have been offered the Panther would have done it. It's not like the idea for Baker for Darnold is some new concept. 

 

True but I think the browns are gonna be more and more desperate as time goes on. 

They probably can't have baker in their locker room any more without distraction or problems and don't seem to have many trade options.  They owe him the full salary if they cut him and then he could go to Pittsburgh or somewhere else that cleveland wouldn't like.

(It would be nice for a trade partner to be the desperate ones rather than us)

Sure, what I'm saying is they are making the Panthers out to be the dummies here "what? Matt Corral or Baker, give me the 18m and Baker," when if you look at it strategically Carolina has no reason whatsoever to pay Mayfield extra money.

Agreed on that point.

One step forward 2 steps back

lol hopefully it's a rumor or a very cheap deal for Foles to start the season and develop Corral until he is ready.  I'm leaning towards just rolling with Corral and letting him develop with the team.

I dont see how that isnt a possibility if he learns the offense.  Its imperative to get a good look at MC this season.  We are going to be a really bad team no matter the qb so lets just see what he has.  I doubt its going to set him back

IF (and I mean this is a HUGE IF) Corral plays most of the seasons and shows some flashes/progression to look the part of our next franchise guy we could be in a spot to crush a team in a trade next year for a QB in the draft.  We definitely need to get a good look at him, but after seeing out staff get Icky with BC getting limited playing time, I am a little more confident that we won't pass on a top talent if Corral is still a question mark.

I'd put that one under the "anything can happen" category.

(or under the "monkeys might fly out of my butt" category, whichever you prefer)

Yeah it's possible, but I don't think it's likely.

Yup.

Sounds like the Browns also thought the Panthers would be desperate enough to pay a good chuck of the salary. They got greedy and instead lost the trade and a good deal of leverage (they won't have the Panthers as the other team).

The Browns are basically stuck waiting and "hoping" a QB vacancy happens via injury or suspension. I don't think they'll cut him unless they need the roster spot. In their minds they probably assume they can get at least a comp pick out of him; Mariotta and Trubisky were roughly worth 5th/6th rounders this year in terms of comp picks.

wasn’t there a report saying the only issue was browns paying some of his salary? i mean if they just want to offload him for a 5th and will pay a lot of his salary, what’s the harm? could’ve rolled over 10 m for 4 weeks of worthless Cam last year just the same. and he will just add competition. he can be dumped next year too.

lastly, i don’t know the rules but isn’t there a limit to rollovers in a certain time frame and also dependent on the spending on the league as a whole?

i see no negatives in that scenario tbh but i also don’t see a lot of wiggle room outside of those requirements because he/the risk isn’t worth it. he’d also want to come here which I don’t think he does and there is no point in forcing it just because.

same goes for jimmy G. 

As far as Foles i see zero upside unless it’s for a bag of corn nuts…and only ranch flavor.

I think if the price is right, is is very likely, as I think one of those guys is Sam's replacement.  I'm starting to wonder if Sam makes it to the final 53.  If we need a vet to mentor/place hold until Corral is ready, I don't even trust Sam to do that.

I think we're holding out, as I think the Browns are eventually going to have to release Mayfield outright.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
