    Well...that shoots a hole in my theory of 'Keep Keenum to start until Watson is allowed to play'.    I am just not in phase with the current Browns going-ons apparently.....

  • Don't the Colts usually come to our rescue in these types of situations....

    Except they just got burned by giving up  a first for a guy (Wentz) that they just dumped.

    Nah, we now have Jacoby BBQ Brisket as Watson's backup. Count me as not impressed.  Though we are trying to  get Landry and Clowney back at a cap friendly price. Stay tuned.

    I'm not too down on Brissett...  Just think they couldve saved even more by going with Mariota.

  • What's the difference? No way the Browns will keep him so why would another team give up assets? Except maybe to keep the salary in place for the season. Also the Browns don't want a competent or popular backup in case Watson is suspended or hurt or just sucks. They would really be a laughingstock with a quarterback controversy after everything they threw away to get the guy.

    Keenum was too expensive. And Brissett is probably a better option too.

    There are a number of teams still with QB needs and the options left are Winston, Mariota, Baker and a bad QB draft class.  For teams like Seattle, Indy and NO…they have pretty decent rosters and should compete with competent QB play.  
     

    Baker could be seen as a bridge or he may even be seen as a potential long term starter under a prove it deal.  He’s got more incentive than ever to show what he has…teams understand that.

    That's true. But I don't think incentive to do his best has ever been a problem. Just for my point of view I would like to see him with the Saints because they've had Drew Brees.

    So now that you bring up the Saints…if the Colts rumor is true…you could have two teams after him.

    Do you think one team may want him a little more and offer a little more?

     I don't know wtf Atlanta is doing with Matt Ryan? ? He's better than all of them you listed. Atl. sure should not trade him to Nola.... Indy looks to be the better team/better coach/ w/Ryan and has the money to do a deal for Ryan..   I think the hold up with Baker to Colts or anywhere=== Matt Ryan... stay tuned

    Could be. I hope so. Not only because it would be beneficial to the Browns to get something in return but it would be nice to know someone liked Baker will enough to spend some money on him and assets. NFL is pretty tight-lipped about what their plans are. I'm just speculating because the Saints are used to having a 6 ft tall quarterback. I don't think Russell Wilson is extremely tall eater.

    The funny thing about some of Watson nut swingers, is they called Baker a midget. I don’t have heart to tell them DW is only an inch taller. ?

  • I would trade Baker to the Canadian Football League - he might be a top 10 QB there.

    I wonder what kind of commercials Baker could do in Canada? Tim Horton's, hockey equipment, thick winter hats? The endorsements are endless up there.

    Well, neither the Saints or the Colts have anyone on the roster resembling an NFL starting qb, so they may be interested in Baker on his one year $18 million prove it deal.  Seattle has Drew Lock and Geno Smith, so their interest may be low.  

    Any other team that has an interest in Baker knows the Browns can't negotiate out of position of strength.  They can't keep Mayfield, and they can't take the cap hit by releasing him either.

    I doubt the Browns would give up a pick just to clear Baker's salary off the books...  Mayfield still has some value as a starting QB... What other teams value that to be is still TBD.  🙂
