Browns General Discussion

The Browns should honestly look at locking up Wyatt Teller while the iron is hot. He's absolutely dirt cheap through 2021, so there isn't a rush, except we could potentially look at going from a "monster deal" to a "really good deal" that guarantees him money now while saving us money long term if we're sold that he's that good. I'd be more inclined to pay him now and see what we could get as opposed to seeing how his entire 2020 goes.

That honestly is a STEAL of a contract, but I'd rather do something like offer him a 4 year $20 million extension with a lot of guaranteed cash to see if he bites on that.

There's nothing wrong with using that as a "starting point" as opposed to letting transcendant talent walk away/trading it away for a future return. There's also a salary cap in football. But yeah, let's see if he can be the next sucker Jose Ramirez at the RG spot.

I agree, it’s a smart move for us.

I’d prolly do it if I was Teller, but that 20 million would have to be guaranteed.  That’s life changing money and he’d be under 30 when he’s a FA again.

Absolutely, same here.
