The Rams had to give up multiple first round picks to get the Lions to take on Goff's salary, given the current situation, do the Browns seriously believe anyone is going to take Baker on and pay anything above the minimum salary of that contract?

I love how poorly they handled this, very Browns like, in the end I think they have to cut him and get nothing for him after all this.

It's pretty amazing how poorly they played their hand. If they pay 60+% of his salary, aren't they coming out ahead? They really read the room wrong.

Even if Corral isn't it, Neither is Mayfield, and Corral is a hell of a lot cheaper. 

I really liked Baker on a one year, cheap deal but Corral is so much cheaper. Baker might be a much better player but the penalty for missing on Corral is basically next to nothing.

Much smarter move, even if I hated the 3rd round pick trade.

I do not think they will cut him and pay the salary. If no trade partners are found they may do like the Texans did last year with Watson. Keep him, but apart  from the team. Some team may have a major injury and need a quarterback before the season is over.

It's not like they actually engineered their strategy to "steal" Corral. But if he turns out to be what everybody thought he would be we have a first rounder franchise QB on a third rounder contract. Dumb luck, but the opportunity to win games and actually pay your players or free agents New England style is there.

Will they get out of their own way and just let it happen? I don't know. They've already been swindled by Rhule and Darnold.

Corral is the better option. Much more upside. More dynamic. No NFL tape on him yet so you kind of had a head start, but are they smart enough to take advantage or are they going to play the 19mill NFL proven backup QB?

I think you know what they'll try to do. People want to coddle Matt. Matt is a f'n baller and wants those reps at starter. He's a first round grade QB anybody with a brain would understand that he's automatically THE best option at QB to win.

Yeah he's on a cheap contract too. Let's eat!

Panthers handled this and the draft just right IMO.  Really hope Corral works out

The penalty for whiffing on Corral is relatively small. The "desperation" penalty for Baker is much more.

I say this as a guy that supported a Baker 1 year deal.

      Typical Rod ECF Team

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!

      How much does an NFL radio play-by-play announcer make?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      According to Scott Fowler, in an article about former Panthers announcer applying for a job with the Ravens... what that job pays, incidentally, when the Ravens posted it publicly they said the salary would be $4,000 to $5,000 per game. An NFL season consists of 20-24 games, including the preseason and potential playoff games, so it will end up somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000 a year. The person hired will be an independent contractor, which is commonplace in the NFL these days for team broadcasters, and also have other radio and TV hosting assignments.  https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article315839800.html

      That’s a good find. We will see. Who is still here from when he was?
