Why sign a QB that doesn't want to be here?

Mayfield is not interested in Carolina. Why would they try and force his hand if he is going to be a problem?

Are they stupid enough to do this knowing he could cause turmoil on the team and in the locker room? From what I have read his Brown teammates are not very fond of him as a person.

What do you think....would they force the issue?

Honestly, Baker is ultimately going to play wherever he can because no one really wants him. I'm not even sure that we do. Sure, we'll take him under the right circumstances (which will include jettisoning Sammy), but I just don't see it happening. Forcing the issue for Baker Mayfield just seems too funny to say (funny as in peculiar and/or humorous).

You guys don't remember the "mutual disinterest" tweets from a few weeks ago?

Yeah it sounded like the one was Watson wasn't interested either until he was.  It also said we weren't interested in Mayfield either and now sources are saying there is some interest.  Unless he says it himself I wouldn't consider it too valid...

Where did he say he wasn’t interested in playing for us? 

There were reports that per "league sources", there was "mutual disinterest" between both parties. That may mean nothing, but I will say that in Baker's first interview after breaking his silence, he mentioned Seattle as a potential fit and didn't say sh!t about the Panthers, when we're arguably the most obvious ones.

Is there a good QB that wants to be here?

With Rhule as HC, I don't think there is. This team is extremely dysfunctional right now and it starts with our HC. Who (other than Tepper) can look at the way our team has been running the last 2 years and honestly say that Matt Rhule is going to turn this franchise around and build a winner?

There have been indications that our position has changed.

There's been no indication thus far that his position has.

I mean I doubt he is knocking down the door trying to play for Matt Rhule, but I'm sure he would have no problem playing here if we traded for him.  Let's be honest, he doesn't have many other options nor is he in a position to be picky...

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
