They signed 2 other QBS who can start and he's guaranteed that money no matter what so that is not a motivation..

They have to get him off their roster and the league knows it... Either they are taking a Teddy Bridgewater's type deal or they will have to cut him...

Teddy agreed to restructure his contract/take less money to go to Denver. Baker doesn't have to help Cleveland out at all

I think Clev will do everything it can to avoid this scenario because as soon as they cut him, he's going to Pittsburgh.

They don't really need to clear the cap space, they might have to just pay almost all of his salary in order to trade him out of the division

Exactly.. But it's worth to Cleveland to get a 6th round pick and 6 to 8 million of his salary paid then to cut him still pay him to play for the Steelers.. Cleveland has less control in this and the league knows this..

Teddy didn't take less money. Money was just moved around so that the team on the hook was the Panthers.

Yes, he did. He got $23-24M in 2020 (cash not cap) out of the 3 year $63M deal Hurndog handed out. He was slated to make something like $18-20M in salary in 2021 but only $10M was guaranteed. He restructured so that he got $7M from us and $4M from the Broncos so he gave up $7-9M if we had kept him. He likely did that instead of forcing us to pay $10M/releasing him so he could join a team who wanted him before the draft. We would have just kept him until after the draft and he might have lost a chance to start and a non-backup deal in 2022. Didn’t work out but that’s why he reduced his overall salary for 2021.

He also removed the 3rd year $21M of the contract which the numbers don't exist anymore but I think I saw it would have been a $5M dead cap hit to cut him this year.

He was guaranteed $10M. Everything else was dependent on him actually playing for the Panthers which wasn't happening. If he had been cut him he would have gotten $10M that season and not a dime more as no one was going to pay him more; the new team would have to exceed the $10M guarantee before he got new money.

He actually got a pay raise in the trade to the Bronco's (I think he ended up with $11.5M).

    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
    • I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries
