Not sure how his shoulder had anything to do with his decision making.  

Did you see how many low balls he threw?

Odd timing with SF needing SOMETHING at qb..

Why did we ever acquire him to begin with. 

Of the vet post-Cam QB moves we've made this is the one I have the least issue with by far. We didn't give up much and the Browns picked up the majority of the salary cap tab. It was worth the shot we took IMO. No, it didn't work out but a low value trade and cap hit for Baker Mayfield was and always will be a better roll of the dice than paying Teddy like a legit starter or trading real assets to acquire Darnold and immediately doubling down on that move by picking up his 5th year option.

Rhule trying to stave off the inevitable.  I bet Matt would say the move was 100% on Fitterer.  "I'm not the GM, I don't make trades."

Take care, Baker.  I wish the best for you.

I have a weird feeling the Rams snag him off waivers first.

Eh I guess that’s fair. But it just proved the systemic problems even more.

In any case, there's no leverage since the trade deadline passed. We'd just be holding on to him to be petty at this point. We're not gonna play him or resign him, might as well let him go.

The original point of my comment was in reference to 49ers calling us and asking us to let him go as an IOU. In that case would have leverage.

The Panthers said you ain’t getting this 4th . When you make Darnold look good you know it’s bad 

That's a glass half empty view of life.

The glass half full view is that Darnold made him surplus to requirements.

I think someone from that division picks him up.

For damn sure. When you're scavenging around in the dumpster you're probably gonna come up with trash.
