Free Agency Around the NFL Style

[EdmundDorf]

Cheap? $18m guaranteed. Given Wentz confidence then bringing in veteran competition is almost guaranteed to make that trade a failure, its a bit touch and go as it is

If we bring another quarterback, it should be a mid/late round rookie. No need to bring another veteran QB.

lol Baker isn't coming here to compete for a job.

Plus you don't give up picks for Wentz and then throw him into a competition.

Ron made it clear that Wentz is QB1 for the forcible future in his presser

Florio thinks he ends up in Detroit to compete with Goff. It'll be interesting to see if Seattle is interested in him. If not nor Detroit, who knows? The rest of his career should be interesting considering his background and Cleveland sudden's divorce from him.

Let Watson live his life.

And hopefully Baker finds a spot where he can become the franchise QB.

I don't have a good read on Mayfield but I don't think he is a franchise QB.
Hopefully he lands in a good spot so we can see what he can do.

I agree, I don’t think Baker is a franchise QB…that Browns team is/was pretty loaded on offense: Great RBs, Great Oline, decent TE group…Odell and Landry WR.

Defense not terrible

Either Baker or bad coaching…

I'd put BM in the top 15-20 range. He had an excellent 2020 season (10th in QBR) but really fell off last year due to injuries.

Well you had several people like Aikman and Phil Simms making fun of the offensive play calling with the Browns last year, saying it was like high school plays...is that the coach...or the coach not trusting Baker? Guess we'll find out when Watson takes over. It felt at times Baker was a gamer...but odds are he's not going to be anything special.

If I'm a QB desperate team like the Panther, Seattle, Detroit, or New Orleans, I would rather have him over Jimmy G and his bum shoulder, or even Jameis. I guess it depends of what the compensation is going to look like for Baker.

Mayfield played on a bum shoulder last year leading to the poor season. He got surgery to resolve it in January. He was much better prior to last year when healthy and nearly beat KC in the playoffs. Don't think the kid is the next Marino, but I would definitely not write him off yet.

Really starting to wonder what Seattle and Carolina are going to do at qb. Carroll reportedly loves Lock:

Carolina is a crapshoot. Nothing would surprise me with the qb position and them. They were the only team to really give Darnold a chance.

If I'm a QB with options, I'm not going to Carolina. Matt Rhule's days are counted, and he'd likely be fired at the end of this season, unless he pulls a miracle.

Agreed. Tepper seems to get rid of coaches quickly and Rhule's seat is quite warm. Pretty surprised he didn't jump back into college. Strong rumors of him going to Michigan if Harbaugh was done there.

[skinsfaninok]

Baker has Seattle or CAR at this point and if I'm him I'd go to SEA.
