MWil23 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, incognito_man said: Well I for one approve of them orchestrating his release to make him claimable by bad teams to prevent him from clearing waivers if they could not trade him. That makes sense to me. OBJ's camp agreeing to it, IMO, shows that he wants to be the main guy down the stretch and get paid as opposed to winning. Granted, he may be trying to parlay that into a trade to a contender, but likely he wants a new deal and just to get some high volume looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore would be a good fit, but the Cleveland made him very claimable with the salary maneuvering, so I can’t imagine he ends up as a street free agent able to pick them.

Jameson_Neat Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 1 minute ago, TheRealMcCoy said: Yeah you guys make too much sense. I doubt he'd want Detroit, but it's probably the only place he immediately steps in as the #1 guy and gets a ton of targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he's not getting enough high volume passes going his way in Cleveland, have fun in Baltimore, and just wait until he and his daddy start criticizing an MVP. I'd love it.

True, but I think AB probably would fail anywhere else. Pretty humbling when the greatest player in NFL history is throwing you the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownLeader Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Kip Smithers said: Here’s the thing. Is there a chance that he freelancing he does is a product of him not getting the ball anyway? Possibly. It’s all speculation but we know for damn sure that he’s open a lot. And I doubt he’s just running any route he wants otherwise the coaching staff would be on him. Dude didn’t come into the league doing this. Baker and him never built the understanding to where he can adjust to the way he runs routes. This “freelancing” is common place among receivers which is why there is such an emphasis on receivers and QBs getting together in off-season and Training camps It's not about reps. Baker doesn't read defenses well. His arm, accuracy and the scheme can make up for it and mask it at times, but he's not good at reading and anticipating. OBJ is reacting to how the defense is playing him, still within the semblance of the route, as most good WR's do, and Baker's just not with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Ah, yeah - I can definitely see why they'd want to make him attractive to a team ahead of Baltimore to claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either, but he just left a team with no chemistry with an average QB, put him in the same exact situation and he might become the distraction (just by the media) that you don't want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some commentator going on about how Baker throws very specifically. Clearly the DC have figured that out. That makes it hard for WR if they aint perfectly times with the QB. Stuff happens in games all the time and you have to go to your next read or improvise. Seems Baker is having issues doing that at times. I can get the frustration there and likely why the offense seems to not be clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTazeMeBro Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Eric DeCosta is one of the only GMs who doesn’t realize that the salary cap is imaginary. Not happening. If I had to put money on someone I’d go with KC. Of the teams that probably think they have a chance this year, they’re the highest on the waiver list.

They took a gamble on Josh Gordon for that very reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
