I think most Browns fans would. Idk, @MWil23? I would be fine with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, especially if they had to pay him a huge chunk of money. This definitely screws Baltimore in the short-term, as their entire organization functions to play off of Lamar's strengths, but I think this could set them up better long-term if they're able to get something of good value for him.

Excuse me for still being a little salty towards this issue. Fair enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up 90% of my fandom when they made the trade a year ago, so watching the entire city of Baltimore lose their collective minds, including Ozzie Smith even blaming Cleveland, and then play the victim is at least a nice silver lining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd be more screwed if Greg Roman was here, but since Todd Monken was hired we have a chance to have an actual pro-style offense. Of course, that's more of a gamble than anything since Roman's offense proved time and time again it could produce at least 16ppg with Tyler Huntley and still be an elite rushing offense. So who knows. I just hate having to start all over again after FINALLY finding what seemed like a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the NFL's memo to not negotiate with his brother's uncle's former roommate's trainer or whoever that other guy was. I think we can call him what he is/who he is: A guy who put a few light dumbbells and a yoga mat in a rolling suitcase then convinced a delusional millionaire to back him in an outrageous business proposal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rage that they're feeling now is in regards to a single solitary player. Give up all 53 of them for a 3 year period and completely restarting with a castoff draft and then maybe they'll understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 When they're all started I genuinely believed a team would trade for jackson. Now in retrospect, I realize I was wrong. I think when the dust settles Jackson is going to have to make 1 of 2 choices; either A) he plays for baltimore or B) he doesn't play in 2023. Obviously as a steeler fan I would love nothing better than to see jackson play pretty much anywhere else. Having said that I think we should all be able to agree that when Jackson says Baltimore is not meeting his value. The truth is maybe jackson's value on himself is not realistic to what the market says his value really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 In all seriousness, let's not undersell the fact that this is going to make Cleveland off-season AFC North Champs for like the 15th year in a row. Sure I may hate myself come September, but from now through August, I at least have everyone else's misery to bask in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside team meeting Jackson contract demands AND sending 2 firsts to BAL was very unlikely. Open market where no draft picks are needed, the valuation changes....though probably not to Watson level contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
