This was from the 19th:

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo resumed throwing about 4 weeks ago, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The QB reportedly had a good recent checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and Rapoport adds that the team is "thrilled" with Garoppolo's progress as he works back from right-shoulder surgery. The QB is expected to gain full clearance by mid-August.

same as reported on nfl radio.. 40 yard out routes are his max throws at this point...

Kyle Shanahan's offense with D'ernest Johnson & Debo rotating carries... no thank you very much !

Has anyone heard any tantrums from Jimmy G?  

I think jimmy would be a great fit here

I agree.  He's quite at home with a strong running game.  But as a pocket passer, he'd be the odd duck in our QB room.  

It all depends on the suspension.  (we could trade them the conditional 5th we got for Baker)

From what I’ve been reading, Jimmy G underwent shoulder surgery in March and is not scheduled to be able to throw a football until sometimes in July.

I would say that factor (along with his salary) would hamper any possible trade deals for the time being.

Are you talking about Baker? I feel bad for baker I don’t think Carolina was the best fit…Seattle was better but they appear to be in tank mode or under some weird illusion that Drew Lock is a starting QB.

BTW Has anyone heard any tantrums from Jimmy G?  

I think jimmy would be a great fit here but I think we could go 3-1 with Jacoby. 

There's a honest Owner/GM& HC, telling their former injured starting QB, to find his next team by His Choice....

What kind of classy business do they think they're running here ?  ?

(it won't be us)

Well, WE aren't.  I don't know about any other team though.

No kidding. The title of the thread contains the word Cleveland so I figured we were talking about the Browns.

Nobody is trading for a veteran quarterback until the Watson suspension is settled.

Well, WE aren't.  I don't know about any other team though.

I hope you mjp- and everyone else- realizes that Heavy.com is nothing more than a rumor mill generating site.    

I don’t know what is worse Heavy or Some of this Deshaun Watson speculation from reliable sources like Florio and  La Confora.  
 

Im waiting for the next Florio article…here is a preview…

Oh yeah,  the rumor of the week, or day.....but you wonder where they get their information from.

Plus they are on a lot of sites.    Like the old saying.......It's the be careful of  everything that you hear and half of what you read club.    I look at it and  sort it out and go from there.

Interesting reading  ?!.

And how about this from Heavy.com.  July 03, 2022. ---->

The Cleveland Browns may have fewer suitors for Baker Mayfield than many have expected over the last several months.

While the Carolina Panthers remain in the driver’s seat to acquire Mayfield with the Seattle Seahawks riding shotgun, the Detroit Lions have remained a dark horse candidate to swoop in and make a last-minute deal for the quarterback.

The primary reason for that is John Dorsey, the one-time general manager in Cleveland and now a high-ranking member of the Lions’ front office. Detroit may also soon be in the market for a new signal caller, if the team isn’t already. The Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams last season, receiving Jared Goff as part of the return. Stafford went on to win a championship in Southern California, while Goff’s arm was colder than the weather in Detroit where he led his teammates to a 3-10-1 record across 14 starts.  -------->  continued  --------->

Still both sides would have to check their ego at the door and Hope the rest of the team is able to focus on the goal.

I'd still rather have Baker but I wouldn't mind seeing Jimmy take the Browns to the Super Bowl instead of scumbag.

If Baker Mayfield has said his adios to Cleveland and the BROWNS it's kind of academic now.....take Garappolo as your Game 1 starter right now. 

Looks like the BROWNS are stockpiling quarterbacks now.   

I also don't think Watson gets suspended all that long.  Partly because he doesn't deserve a year long suspension, and because the NFL handled owner transgression poorly from a punishment stand point.

If Watson gets nailed to the cross so to speak, the NFL can bet there will be a lawsuit, and they will get creamed.  Watson might be a scumbag, but the reality is being a scumbag isn't illegal.  

Heck, my wife sometimes says I am a dirty old man.  I disagree.  I tell her even if I concede to some degree, the only thing that has changed is the "old" part.
