They can’t trade him now, can they? Looks way more likely that he’s the man this year unless they’d rather tank. They could make their 1st rounder worth more. Well poo, I guess they might have Watson miss 2023 too so at least they could have the top pick in 2024. Well damn, guess that tank option isn’t really there.

General belief from insiders and  analysts is that he's played his last down for the Browns.

Expectation is that once Watson is suspended, they'll go with Brissett as their starter.

you'd have to think Andrew Barry is exploring QB options to not make this year a waste. Jimmy G to CLE will probably have legs by end of this month.

Darnold will probably get floated as I trade candidate, but you'll probably also hear about a certain free agent named Cam Newton.

Wouldn't that be something? Week 1. Cleveland at Carolina. Darnold versus Cam.

Sam Darnold for  Baker Mayfield straight up!

That would be my second favorite option.  My favorite option is to steer clear of that drama queen. 

[Waldo]

Still a hard pass for me. Just play Corral and hope for the best or Sam for a top QB pick in 2023.

[PizzaTheHutt]

I REALLY wish Baker would go to the Seahawks just so we can finally put all of this behind us. And the 49ers would be fools to let Jimmy G go, especially given what people are saying about how Trey Lance has progressed.

This clickbait Baker bs needs to end.

I actually wouldn't mind him here provided we don't wait until training camp.  He needs time to learn the offense.  My thinking is that he's on a one year audition for everyone, he's going to put his head down and be the best teammate and QB he can be this year in order to secure his future.

At this point we should just trade Sam for Baker straight up.  Salary for each is pretty much identical.  Sam can fill in for the pervert, and we get Mayfield until Corral is ready to go.  It makes too much sense.

That's a lot of assumptions or should I say hopeful thinking.  I've seen nothing in his history to suggest he would try to be a good teammate. I just do not want that asshole near this team and especially around our new draft pick.

 Darnold may be ass as a qb but he's one hell of a teammate. The amount of hatred and boos he's had to endure yet he still puts on a smile and tries to do his best. Unlike the little sh!t Mayfield who throws a tantrum if things don't go his way.

Hard pass on Mayfield.

very similiar to one of the greatest, if not the greatest, cameo content makers of all time.  The Jimmy. 

I actually gained respect for Jimmy.  I mean, horrible NFL QB.  But a lot of the predraft character hits on him were clearly bogus.  Being thrown out year one and failing that hard and then the team quickly moving on...he handled it all well.  Always played his part the way it should of been played.  Took the Ls on the chin.  Said the right things.  Did the Sam when Cam came to replace him.

Agreed. We don’t need another mediocre but just good enough to miss out on a top QB or a cherry trade spot like Miami got for Trey Lance. If Corral isn’t quite ready, let Sam lead us to a great pick. We don’t need an extra 2-3 wins with Baker.

I could forsee a Baker-Sam trade in which we sweeten the pot with a late round draft pick. If Fit/Rhule think we can win now with the updated OL--they may do it.
