Yea try 75% and that’s a deal because no one is offering anything for a player you clearly are getting rid of. So owe 100% or 80% + get a 5th rounder and fight that urge to do what Browns do best (be stupid).

10 m just to compete for the starting gig is just plain dumb. Only thing dumber is paying flaccid cam 10m to start 2 games. Let’s not double down plz

Yeah, surely they've moved off of that. Rhule and company can't accept that now lest they look like they were just needlessly posturing for going on two months. If they take that deal, they'll not only appear weak, they'll rightfully earn that reputation.

I think the word is "posers".

should be our response

The Seahawks have Geno Smith and Drew Lock for a total of about $5M.  If we pay Sam and Baker a total of $30M to keep Corral on the bench all season long we're truly being run by some complete morons. One over payed future backup is enough for this season, they'll both walk next year anyway and we'll be once again over paying another journeyman in 2023. I hate that Rhule already mentioned keeping 3 qb's on the 53 man roster, and I bet he also probably wants PJ on practice squad

I'd go with "Suckers"

Cut PJ and roll with the two young guys to save a roster spot.  We have a lot of talent at WR right now and there’s a decent chance someone will get scooped up if we put anyone worthwhile on the practice squad.  Or at least use it for depth somewhere else.  We really don’t need 3 QBs on the roster with Brandon “Renaissance Man” Zylstra on the team

Honestly… I’ll take anyone over watching Sam suit up in my teams gear week 1. I could care less about the financials of it, not my money, not my problem. If Sam is actually the starting QB week 1, I can’t think of a season in memory (maybe the Clausen year) that I’ll be going into it less involved and engaged in the upcoming season. 
 

Just get that bum out of here.

Yeah, apparently we won't take more than $5million of Baker's contract.  If the Browns want rid of Baker that badly, what's another $4M?

They can easily throw this right back at us. They can tell us if we truly want to roll with Sam instead of forking over an extra $4m, to go right ahead

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
