I doubt he will be.

Fitterer's comment just sounded like kind of an offhand thing to me, i.e Tepper will be around for stuff but I seriously don't he'll have any involvement in depth chart or playing decisions.

Then what is gained by saying it at all?

So has anybody heard exactly what Baker's incentives are?   I'm just curious how likely it will be to earn that money back.

I heard on a podcast, can’t remember which one, but they are based on performance/team success. I think reaching playoffs were one of them but not 100% sure.

For those judging Baker based on whether the Browns wanted him anymore.  Its complicated. 

The Browns believed Watson was a better QB than Baker.  Watson is better than 90% of the QB's in the league  and he's young.


The Browns enter the Watson sweepstakes.
Baker asks to be traded. 
The Browns declined the request.
Then the Browns guarantee their offer and get Watson.
The Browns agree to Bakers request.

This is not the same as us picking Teddy up as a homeless FA, or the Jets dumping Sam for an unkown rookie, or using bring Cam back for nostalgia.

Exactly.  Baker demanded the trade to happen and wasn't going to back down from it.  The Browns believed they had a once in a generation chance to acquire a top 5 young franchise QB so they went all in on him.  I personally think the Browns are idiots because of Watson's off the field issues but that's their problem now.

They wanted more adult issues.  They got them.

We're shopping him.  I don't think there will be any takers, but if we eat enough of the salary who knows. 

Every source, including Fitterer himself today, says we're not.

Fitterer also said teams aren't inquiring about him.

More on  McAdoo:

“He’s coached some of the most efficient offenses in NFL history—some of the most prolific teams. And looking at ’em, there’s ability at the line of scrimmage to take advantage of matchups and take advantage of how teams are really schemin’ you up. And luckily, for us, I think that fits very well with our position group, our offensive line. Be able to take advantage that we have so many skill players who are extremely talented. It’s the freedom at the line to be able to let a defense try and guard us a certain way and dictate where we’re gonna go after that. So I’m excited about it. I’m excited about the possibilities we’ll learn about each other during training camp.”

...they are idiots...I know... Watson on the verge of missing 2 whole seasons...you don't just pop back up in the top 5 after that... thank God we missed that mess...

      LaMelo to Brooklyn for Nic Claxton, Drake Powell, and a pick.  Who says no?

      Appreciate you, brother!  I know it was lengthy, but I felt whoever actually read it would appreciate it.

      Damn good take, brother.  I think I take that poo personally because (sidebar: I don’t like to use narcissist often because social media has made it a buzzword and diluted the meaning, so when I use it, I don’t take it lightly) I grew up in a home with a raging narcissist, then married a narcissist and just came out of a divorce after a 20 year marriage with her, where afterwards she met and married another narcissist.🤣  And in my dealings with them, over my 41 years on this earth, at times I took great delight in breaking down their arguments point by point and forcing them to either acknowledge their wrongs and take ownership of them or watch them yammer and stammer away when they ran out of lies and excuses.  At various points, that was extremely satisfying, but ultimately, which I’ve realized especially after the last 3 years and going through the divorce and everything, it does NOTHING to them.  It doesn’t affect them one way or another.  For a logical, reasonable, grounded person, you would think calling them in their poo will bring it to their attention when they’re face when nothing but facts and truth and force them to change, but nope.  Not in the slightest.  They just disassociate from the ones who do that and find more people who will validate their behaviors and thinking.  poo pisses me off because they’re so destructive and couldn’t care less so long as their needs are met.
