Per Jonathan Alexander, Browns were willing to eat 50% of Bakers salary($9m) and Panthers said no. Apparently, the max we want to take is $5m, playing hardball with them.

Said it on his interview in Julian Council’s Locked On podcast. Joe Person previously reported that the Browns were only willing to take on 2-3m, so quite a difference.

Hell, we kinda have to because of all the money Darnold is gonna eat up.

Not to mention we need to roll over as much cap as possible if we want to extend Burns and not be bottom feeders in next years free agency.

That's 5 million too much tbh. At least someone is learning something though.

Don’t forget that one receiver who name I have forgotten.

JA has been on top of this for a few weeks. By the way, I’m a big fan of Julian and his pod… Just thought I would drop this by, as we spoke with Jon a few days back on Fox Sports Upstate.

I wonder what the draft capital will be that will affect me more as a fan I’m not paying the $$$$

I wouldn't be offering anything. I would actually request a pick to be honest.

Yep.  I don’t give a rip about money.   What would a team that gave up 3 picks for Sam give up for Baker. 

only other concern is the depth chart.  Camp would start with Matt Corral 4th on the depth chart.  We probably never see him and we generally already know the 3 ahead of him aren’t answers.  Rhule probably keeps on the practice squad.  That’s the primary reason I don’t want Baker.

If that was on the table I’d take all the contract for a better pick 

[Davidson Deac II]

Only way I would do five million is if they take Darnold and all his salary in exchange.

HOLD.....

 

props to finesser hes handling this right. Let the brownies play him to sit home ala Watson in texans....

[kungfoodude]

TBH, sounds like this will eventually happen. 

That would make 2022 VERY interesting.
