MWil23 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Baker’s wants are a completely secondary priority. And while owners, GM’s, and other fans/media hate Cleveland right now (probably rightfully to some extent), players might actually like the Browns more than we think. If you’re a good/great player, you get extended (Chubb, Teller). If you’re a great player, you get top money at your position in the league (Myles, Ward, Watson), and a lot of these dudes have gotten paid up front and guaranteed cash now. Players like that.

Because any team that would take him would be giving him an opportunity to start. You don’t see any teams with real qbs trying to bring him in to be a backup.

I don't think it matters much. It's just one season anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a waiting game at this point for someone to get hurt imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they like the idea and prestige of going number 1, but is that really where you want to play? I wonder how many players really have strong preferences and work to avoid certain places, even if it’s just discretely. Not saying Baker did or didn’t want to play here, but it’s just interesting to wonder if the guys in that draft class all looked at Allen and Jackson as players who sort of lucked out while Allen and Jackson perhaps felt like they dodged some bullets.

Oh I'm sure. Top picks sometimes make it known Eli/Bernie/Elway etc.. but for the most part you can only guess by their answers. "I'm just happy to be in the NFL and get a chance to play" type of answer. Odds are they all have a favorite team and that would be their greatest wish. Odds are there is a team that they really don't like also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to God boomers don’t poo-poo a retractable roof. You’re about to pay a billion dollars, get your moneys worth out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build a retractable roof. Let the city actually benefit from the stadium. 2. Do something with the lakefront. This is all I’m asking for.
