**** adding Reed again.

Clark
Nnadi
Saunders
Wharton
Kaindoh
Danna

I just don’t see 3 to 4 spots for free agents when they’re likely going to draft 2.

They’ll sign 2, but not 3-4.

I would sign Dunlap and then go to the draft for DEs. Depending on what we come out with, I’d look to bring Ingram in if they couldn’t come out with one that they liked in the first couple of rounds.

Dunlap
Clark
Rookie
Danna
Kaindoh

Pickup a couple of these older vet guys on the dline and rotate them to keep them fresh.

I think they'll add a TOTAL of 3-4, between the draft and free agency.

Yea, agreed.

Keep doubting Andrew Billings mother ****er

Am I missing something? Every article shows him signing with the Raiders in Feb 2022.

More like keep doubting Malik Herring

Andrew Billings signed with the Las Vegas Raiders

I thought we signed him to a futures contract wrf happened? Damn you Veach!

Report: Falcons trade Matt Ryan to Colts for third-round pick

Maybe they plan to trade Hunter?

After his bonus became guaranteed on Sunday? Not sure how that would work.

Aww shit, I forgot about his roster bonus. I agree, not sure that would work.

Colts turning into the 90s Chiefs is a glorious site to see.

It’s hilarious that nobody wants Jimmy G or Baker LMAO

I was surprised when I looked... Wentz completed nearly 63% of his passes for 3,500 yards, 27 TDs and only 7 INTs last season.

I don't know that 36 year old Ryan can best that production by much really. They will continue to run the offense through Taylor, so moving Wentz to get to Ryan is weird.

Although, they got a 2 and a 3 this year and a 3 next year... moved him and replaced with Ryan for a 3 with this cap. So, they netted a 2 and a 3 as well as all that cap.

All I know is that when Baker was drafted, I wanted none of it.. and many (including Blacktop) said Denver fans would rue that day forever.

Yeah, it just became cool to shit on Wentz by the end of the season.

He was...fine.

He stumbled down the stretch, for sure. He really had some poor games when Indy could've put themselves in the playoffs. But on balance I think he re-established that he's a starting caliber NFL quarterback.

That's better than 1/3 of the league will likely get this year.

Go get Shenault, Veach.

So is Smith's neck or back ****ed up or what?

Back.

His neck his back his pussy and his crack

Wonder if he thought he'd get a better deal than the Ravens gave and now it's not out there? Surely not.

The Browns are going to end up giving up a draft pick for somebody to take Baker.

LMAO

After watching Mitch sit on the sidelines for the 2020 season with a back injury, I'm surprised we'd consider signing up for that again.

Of course not all injuries are the same, but still. It's football. You use your back a lot.

The biggest losers this off-season have to be the 49ers. They make the playoffs with Jimmy G and still have him bc teams traded for Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson and Matt Ryan instead of your guy LMAO

49ers are gonna have to take lower compensation or straight up realease the guy at this point

The thing about Smith is that he’s already come back and played a great game in the playoffs.

I think that helps ease some concerns, even though they aren’t completely going away either way.

Supposedly, they’re telling teams that they have an offer of 2 2nd round picks on the table.

I find that very hard to believe.

I don't think he's worth it - he's a backup caliber QB who's fallen uphill because of where he started and a strong jawline.

But I wouldn't be shocked at all if some idiot organization gave up that much for him.

If there are teams in this league that think they can win a Super Bowl with David Carr or Tua, then there are teams thing Grapes is worth a couple 2s.

I hope that the Baker situation blows up in Cleveland's face and every team low balls the shit out of them or they just refuse to trade for him

I could see it someone giving up a 2nd rounder, I don't know about two of them. You just need a GM who is trying to save his job who thinks if they just put a running game or defense around Jimmy G he can at least get you to the playoffs, which he can. Buy you a few years while you try to draft your QB for the future.

If true, he should take it and run.

And, there you go... Mariota on a 2 year deal with ATL.

I think if you're the Panthers giving up a 2 is a no-brainer.

A 2nd 2? Eh - gimme some conditions on that one and I'll consider it.

But you can't waste another season with Darnold. He's just not that guy.

Hell if you're the Texans, why not? I don't think the Giants gain much there.
Pittsburgh is probably the other decent option and they don't have an incredible 2nd round pick. Moreover, I just don't know if they're going to get the guy they want at 21 anyway. So if you can use the 2nd you'd have to trade up to get to your QB, use it instead to get Grapes and then use that 1st on a different target (in a draft deep elsewhere) then keep your powder dry until next year, there are worse ways to go.

And with the Steelers aversion to ever truly bottoming out, that's probably their last shot at avoiding it.

I thought the Panthers too, but they don’t even have a 2nd this year.

That’s why I find it hard to believe.

Only other team I can see is the Seahawks and that would be monumentally stupid of them.

Forgot about the Texans. It could definitely be them, but their young QB is more impressive.

Mills just has fools gold all over him, IMO. LOTS of garbage time production and 10 picks in limited duty. That's a backup.

I'm not sure why some people seem to think he's the answer there. I just didn't see it.

Especially edge rushers that require bend. I guess I don’t see why we would target him when there are a bunch of other pass rushers available that don’t have broken backs. In that playoff game, SF ran right at him when he was on the field and Smith couldn’t hold up.

Clowney
Campbell
Hicks
Ingram
Carter
Key

So back to zdarius smith. What would he theoretically be looking for contractually?

And why hasn't Barnett signed anywhere?

PSA: if the tweet is more then a minute old it is a damn near certainty that someone has already posted it in here.

I imagine he's looking for the contract he signed in Baltimore.

Did we ever figure out what the heck happened there?

Yeah, I think that's the biggest red flag with Smith.

Over the last 2 years teams have just attacked those edges w/ the running game. And neither of the Smith's demonstrated the ability to do much about it.

Za'Darius may just be more of an OLB than a DE4.

So, now that they have Ryan... do the Colts go sign Julio Jones?

He didn’t play anything close to a great game against SF.

He was their third lowest rated player in that game.

If Veach signs this guy to a multi year deal without inquiring about Some other guys first, he’s not doing the team a service.

If I’m calling the shots, give me Clowney and Ingram. Or Calais Campbell and Ingram.

If he signs Smith, he can’t have guarantees after year 1…if he’s ok with that (he won’t) then we should all be excited about the signing but if not, we need to be smart and look elsewhere.

Clowney and Ingram would be a lot of coin

If Veach has shown anything this offseason….it’s that he’s looking at youth. I just don’t see Smith as being an option…unless it’s cheap or short term.

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

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 reerun?

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.

ROFL

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.

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 LMAO

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

Seattle might be their only option and that’s if Carroll wants to deal with Baker.

Baker is not a top 12 QB but he is better than many are saying, IMO.

I think people are undervaluing (maybe NFL teams too) based on last year when he was hurt.

He's better than Wentz or Jimmy G (not a super high bar).

It’s not just on the field.

When his current team says they want an “adult” at QB, then they trade for Watson, that’s pretty telling.

And it’s not like there’s not a ton of evidence to support that narrative.

And the team that traded away Watson….didn’t want Baker at all.

You don't suppose they want to keep him since it is likely that Watson will miss some time this year if not all year in form of a suspension from the NFL? That is the reason that the Browns only gave him a $1Million salary this year.
Baker can suck it up and prove people wrong and earn his way out of Cleveland.

Highly debatable. And im going to disagree that he's better than those guys.

Not only is he not top 12, he's not even top 20. 25-30 is probably his range.

Why would Baker go out of his way to help the team that didn’t want him? In his mind….the Browns can go **** themselves.

Lol yea Baker is going to swallow his pride AND do the Browns a solid?

LMAO

Well, they DID let him borrow their stadium for his dozens of douche commercials.

I guess he cannot play. NO ONE WANTS HIM.
He has to rebuild his reputation.
