NudeTayne Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, MWil23 said: 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. https://overthecap.com/player/wyatt-teller/7051/ Year Age Base Salary Cap Number Cap % Dead Money & Cap Savings Cut (pre-June 1)Cut (post-June 1)Trade (pre-June 1)Trade (post-June 1)RestructureExtension Total $2,240,000 $2,240,000 2019 25 $570,000 $570,000 0.2% 2020 26 $750,000 $750,000 0.3% $0 $750,000 2021 27 $920,000 $920,000 0.4% $0 $920,000 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. With where the cap/contract values are and the fact that he's on the books for '21 as well already, I'm thinking a 3/$20 extension is more realistic, and I still see that being considered a steal. If for some reason he doesn't maintain top-notch play, he always had promise even when on the Bills and would be considered a value signing. I'd love a 4/$20 mil but consider that impossible (basically getting 6yrs/$22 mil for a player who is flashing big-time already--seems impossible).

ReggieCamp Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Maybe Higgins will make his way onto the field now. Or maybe not. Njoku being (possibly) back might make for more TE-heavy sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGK Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 For the record, if I can lock Teller up for less than 10M a year right now, I do it. Especially if I can do it in a way that leaves his 2021 cap hit near where it is right now. I'm guessing the cap dips a good bit next year, but then rockets back up in 2022. As we continue to see cap inflation, 8-9M a year for an elite guard will be an absolute steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 why does everyone want to lock Teller up right now? its been four games. Dude has been good but lets relax a little bit and see if he can keep the play up first. Outside of rookies. when have we seen a very below avg player suddenly become one of, if not, the best player at their position? No problem extending him after the season, but to extend him now...lets see if his play levels out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a kareem hunt like deal save 25-30% If he was playing this good and goes on the open market he gets 12-14 per year. Let's see if we can get him for 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I like the mold of our running backs. Other than Dontrell, they’re all big, physical, and run violently. Even our practice squad guy John Kelly runs like that. That builds toughness in your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a contract year, IMO negotiations start at $10 mil per and probably end up substantially north. We're all thinking like these analytics foos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimal time to float a security balloon to him. I mean a big payday today is worth a hell of a lot more than a maybe big payday down the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
