Unless Browns are willing to eat most of the cap in order to move him I dont see any one running to the phones to make the move. You have Carolina paying Darnold the same amount this year, and you have seattle paying wilson's dead cap of 26 mil while bringing in lock. Not saying Lock is better just seems financially feasible to roll with him and a rookie at this point and starting fresh. Who else is out there that would be interested in paying that money? Houston didnt want him in the package those are really it. You realize I just said the Browns were losing that pick right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan and Baker entering the retread pool of available QB’s and PIT choosing to go with Trubisky really changed the calculus. Now there are fewer empty chairs than available QB’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they are losing a pick in your scenario but at the same time who is going to pay him 18.5 mil I think that is the issue more so then the draft. It may have to come down in which the browns are paying some if not most of his salary to be on a different team. Its not ideal for Browns but may have to flat out cut him and let him find a new team to sign with on the cheap and go the prove it route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 lol at this poll. It's Seattle or bust at this point, but even Seattle I feel like might just go Malik Willis + competition between Willis/Drew Lock and take a year off vs. rolling with Baker.

I mean the 18.5 mil is a decent number, however the teams the could use him (SEA, DET, CAR) I dont think are exactly cash strapped. They are all rebuilding teams who aren't paying anybody 25+M and they could all easily take him on. Who else are those teams going to spend money on? Plus it's only for 1 year. You rent him for 1 year then he's off the books. Not sure why teams are so concerned over 18M for a QB for 1 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns going to have to eat his cap and let him start fresh on the open market. Hold onto him until somebody's starting QB gets inevitably injured and comes calling. Either that or wait until Drew Lock throws his 4th interception in the preseason. Edited March 21, 2022 by AkronsWitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so than the niners because at some point, the niners can just cut Jimmy if they want. The Browns can't do that. Baker's money is fully guaranteed, so if htey cut him, they still have to pay him lol Teams kind of have Cleveland over a barrel now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be able to sign our rookies due to releasing Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
