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).

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
