Wow. A relatively young starting QB who is a former #1 pick and has shown flashes of ability for a fifth. What a weird year. Stank arse Darnold got more than that (from the same team) despite showing less.

Yeah, this was mostly a situational thing, imo. Baker gets much more than that in a normal scenario. Hell, if they had just committed to shipping him off right away, I think that they get much better value and don't have to eat a dime.

That's really cheap for a guy who played not terribly when he didn't have weird shoulder injuries.

With how lenient and forgiving everyone seems to be with first round QBs that are awful, it is insane to me how quickly people forgot how good Baker looked when his arm wasn't barely hanging on to his shoulder.

Coming from a Ravens fan - the Browns FO has been my 2nd favorite for the last 2 decades

Presented with no context: QBs drafted in the 5th round recently

2022: Bailey Zappe

2020: Jake Fromm

2019: Easton Stuck

2019: Clayton Thorson

2018: Mike White

2017: Nathan Peterman

 

The bar is real low this deep.
