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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
