If you believe those who are reporting that something is likely going to happen than why not believe their explanations of what the sticking point is?

It's money.

Yeah, I do believe it is about money. I hope they don't want to nuke our cap space we get to roll over.

It may look like next year's 5th, a future 4th, and Sam Darnold for Baker with each team paying the new player's salary.  It helps us unload Sam and gives Cleveland a backup plus some future picks.  Baker is our immediate starter and there is less pressure on getting Corral on the field early in the season.  Just throwing a scenario out there...

But even under a cheap price? I’d rather have the 4th and 5th than rent Baker for a 7 win one and done type season.  
 

just play Sam and PJ and get great draft picks.  If we don’t t see Corral….then we will just have to draft.   Isn’t really a problem if you accidentally end up with 2 good cheap QBs

If Sam wasn't so bad I might agree.  It's making the offense unwatchable which is making it hard for these younger offensive players to develop.  Baker would provide some stability there and who knows if he turns out to be the guy or a placeholder for Corral or our next draft pick?  I think the point is minimal risk for a definite better option with the slightest potential to be our franchise guy or hold down the position until our franchise QB is ready. 

I could take it or leave it depending on how Corral looks in camp.  If we play our cards right the comp for Baker leaving in FA could be higher than the pick we give up for him...

This is a very interesting point.
 

Im concerned with burning thru rollover cap and being strapped next year.  That said, I’d be fine going in with what we’ve got and lean towards not messing with Mayfield. But, I do think there might be a compromise where it makes sense.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
