with Z Smith only playing 1 game we are probably looking at a bunch of not likely to be gained incentives vs his season last year :-)

Yikes.

Maybe Barkevious Vichyssoise will design another JuJu-type contract with NLTBE incentives? :-)

They've had plenty of chances to swing at Clowney, it's just not happening.

John Dorsey had an entire year off to scout QB’s and still took Baker over Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson

Where’s that como retard?

I don't know what Cleveland expects here, tbh

Cleveland just needs to trade him and take what they can get. You don’t want him around that locker room at all.

Maybe they should expect to have the most expensive second-string QB ever. Every team in the NFL should refuse to do business with that franchise.

There were some fools around here claiming that Baker would get the Browns a 1st round pick.

:-)
[Reply]

Oof.

I didn't realize he was hauling that 5th year option salary around. $18.5 million on the cap? No thanks.

That's where they really miscalculated here. The 5th year option is guaranteed for injury only. UNTIL the first day of the new league year.

If they had understood that they won't be able to get anything for him, they could've gotten him cut prior to that 5th year option becoming fully guaranteed.

Yeah, he's gonna get traded WITH a 3rd rounder for a 6th somewhere.

And I still think there are teams that could do worse.

He was their third lowest rated player in that game.

Admittedly, I was going by his stats. IIRC he had a sack and a TFL, which coming back from a serious injury in a playoff game is pretty good.

Great game was probably hyperbolic, but I also don’t trust individual 1 game grades from PFF either.

They’re going to run out of options here fast. Other teams are snatching up QBs and won’t want to take on a malcontent who will want to start. And nobody is paying $18 million for a back up QB.

Many on CP love Baker for some odd reason.

I remember when people were saying that him and Mahomes were going to be like Manning/Brady :-)

Yeah I would've thought NOLA might have been a possibility but their cap situation is rough and then they brought back Jameis.
