    It's good to be QB1.

          The deal is guaranteed money for QB's is bogus.  None of those guys are going to get cut from their contracts. They will earn the whole contract.

          If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

            Here are updated rankings from overthecap.com...

            Just gross numbers, no idea of guarantees, or what's left.

            25% of QB1s over $50M.

            50% of QB1s over $40M.

            63% of QB1s over $25M.

            Zero between $12.5M and $25M.

            $25M a year now feels like am absolute steal.

                Well, yeah...if you do it the way we did it.  Or the Rams did it.  But if he was your draft pick you're going to have to sign him with big guaranteed money before or when his rookie contract is up....if you want to keep him.  We, of course, had to throw in three 1st round picks, which we're just now crawling out from under.

                    I suppose there is no way of knowing, and it might still be a year or two away from showing, but have we really missed the picks?  No doubt at least one of them would have been on a QB.  I think we have gotten enough value out of JOK, Dewand, and possibly Hall that we mitigated the loss of the 1st rounders.  That isn't even counting that Watson may finally be ready to be a very good QB at minimum.

                        We mention the three 1st rounders and don't often mention the 3rd rounder and two 4ths that were part of the deal.  And in reality, it's those draft slots (and 2nd rounders) that we've been living off of since the trade...so, those are important picks that we didn't have also.

                          Like your point in bold above; but the Browns lost Nick Chubb, Dewand Jones, Jack Conklin, Jed Wills and Deshaun Watson to IR last year.  I think we're okay if we can keep the volume of injuries a little more reasonable in 2024.

                            No disagreement.  The question is how?  Unfortunately you can't play football in a bubble. Shit happens.

                              Too many trades to try to figure all of that out.

                              In the end, sure, we might have gotten some good players.  We ended up getting some good players.

                                Too many trades to try to figure all of that out.

                                In the end, sure, we might have gotten some good players.  We ended up getting some good players.

                                I don't look at the list of players the Texans drafted and have the lingering feeling that the Browns missed out.
