Even if they cut Goff they are still paying 50 to have Baker start. Goff's contract isn't realistically tradable. It makes sense if they don’t want to draft a QB this year. The winner of Goff vs Baker could buy their current regime time to decide on QB long term. Always gotta keep in mind, other teams are on the clock too. Matt Campbell needs to sell “hope.” Kinda hard to do that if you’re losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker isn't signed after this year so he wouldn't be their future. Goff can be cut next year and he probably will be so he isn't there future. It just makes no sense, they would have to cut or restructure other contracts just to get it done and be able to sign rookies. I give the Lions a zero percent chance as a landing spot unless someone wants Goff's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Browns agree to pay a good chunk of the contract, which they can do, the Lions have the cap space. If the Browns pay half and trade him for basically nothing as a salary dump, it could happen. They'd have to cut a guy or two, but that's gonna happen anyway. The Browns might have to send a pick even, though.

Baker isn't looked at as a big upgrade over Goff and they are stuck with Goff so I don't see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Steelers makes more sense but that probably is off the table. Seattle, if they are trying to win but they apparently like Lock. Miami but I doubt it. Houston but if they wanted him it would have been part of the Watson trade. Falcons but they are already negative in the cap. Panthers already have the same situation with Darnold and they would have a harder time moving him than we would with Baker because Baker is far superior and they have the same guaranteed salary.

Safest thing to do is just to keep him and let him walk in free agency. We’d get a comp pick. Everything I’ve read says we’re fine cap space wise. I’d like to resign Clowney, but I’m okay if we can’t. Still want to try with Will Fuller too. Edited March 27, 2022 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeTayne Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It's weird that he's not an adult, implied locker room destroyer etc. but same folks fine keeping him in the locker room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with cap this year, the issue is not having rollover cap for next year. Getting Baker off of the books would help greatly with that. I honestly wouldn't sign anyone else of value this offseason for the same reason. There will be flaws but it will be better for the future. Or we could just go all in for this year and the hell with the future. We'd need to cut post June 1/trade John Johnson, Chubb, Cooper, to make it work in all likelihood but we could do it. Ward is out of the picture in that scenario also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that applys Mayfield has invested his money and has a net worth of 30,000,000 He is also making 32,000,000 a year He better be getting treated as one of cleveland wealthiest business man. To say he is a kid when he is worth more money and making more money than stefanski and Berry it seems to that they need to grow up. Haslem is just as bad when when he let's Supervisors have that type of environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go all in this year we would cut JJIII, Chubb, Cooper and potentially Ward? I'm beyond lost trying to make sense of this post lol.
