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...

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
