For a conditional 5th rounder. Split salary basically.

Jacoby era here we come!

5th rounder? Holy crap, that sucks.

Jacoby? We got a guy named DeShaun if he’s not suspended for two years like some of you suggest.

We traded Baker for a 2024 pick that will probably be our next long snapper. Let that sink in.

There is no doubt in mind that Baker is better than Lock and Smith so all this tells me that the Hawks are in full out tank mode ready for CJ Stroud and company.

Let me brace the forum for a meltdown when Carolina pulls out a win with Baker and we are paying Baker’s salary because we stink in Week 1….please hang on…please….better days will be coming

The Browns have to be run by the dumbest owner ever. Please go away Jimmy and Dee and please keep any offspring you have far away as well. Piece of Shit Steelers fag.

He learned nothing when in Pittsburgh obviously. Maybe they shut the door on him or something in the shareholder meetings.

5th rounder. I still can't believe it, just plain dumb. My hunch is the Browns are blackballed for that stupid DW contract.

Best of luck and well wishes. I appreciate Bakers contributions in helping this team start to show a turnaround.

Worth pointing out, this is likely the best deal the Browns were offered. Which includes reports of Detriot and the man who drafted Baker, getting in at the 11th hour. If that influence couldn't net a better return, then it should be quite telling to all what the NFL thought of Mayfield.

Also leads me to believe the Browns have been informed of Deshauns suspension and it will be survivable by riding it out with Jacoby.

Some good memories made. Hoping the next ones will be even better.

Baker agreed to $5 mill less, everyone took a bite.

My son just told me Baker just got traded to Carolina. Is this true?

ballpeen

Good trade. A conditional 5th rounder that will probably turn in to a 4th.

When he beats the Browns on opening day, think he'll plant the Carolina flag on the fifty yard line?

I hope so .

Neither one was my dream scenario but I'd have preferred Seattle. Carolina is garbage.

Thanks for all of your efforts Baker. Be well. Good luck. And all of that kind of stuff...

Panthers have a good front 7 and secondary. They also have a good RB room provided Run CMC comes back healthy. They invested resources into their oline this off season and their WR room - Higgins, DJ Moore and Robby Anderson are all good targets.

They play in a tough division. "Garbage" is hardly the word I would use.

Hmm...Higgins a good target? 'As Collinsworth said, He's not fast nor does he run particularly good routes.' He's a CB's dream receiver.

No leg to stand on. I don't say this as a steeler fan. It's what happens when you do your qb dirty and the rest of the league knows and sees how disgruntled he is. The team at the very least should have let him know they were going to go after Watson, especially after they trotted the dude out there with a bum shoulder. I still say he should have sat and keenum should have played so he could get healthy. Now in hindsight to me it feels like Haslam wanted to dirty the dudes name so they could easily move to the equally stupid Watson deal.

Antonio brown should have went for a hell of a lot more than he did when he first got shipped out. However he melted down and his value was in the gutter. It was a damn Christmas miracle the steelers got what they did for him. I frankly figured he too would go for a 5th.
