Chicken Boo Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Cooper, one of the best route runners in the league, will now have to hear pundits and fans say that he's not getting open and that's why Baker Mayfield isn't getting him the ball. Enjoy the money, Coop. Quote

Expand Which make you wonder what they are thinking about extending baker. I know they have the space but at the same time it doesn't look like a commitment to him. Quote
DCOrange Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 If Cleveland ends up being the team that lands Watson, this trade will look very different. 1 1 Quote

After Njoku signs his tag and before Cooper is considered, they’ll have less than $6M. Landry almost certainly will be released. Quote

His dad will be posting videos of him wide open on Twitter in about 7 months Expand The Stefanski offense relay on quality route running. Cooper is a much better fit fin that regard than the freelancing OBJ was. That doesn’t mean it’ll work out in the end, but I think that is the rationale here. 1 Quote
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Again, why does literally everyone call Mayfield "Baker" It's not like his last name is a difficult one like Houshmandzadeh or something Quote

Dead cap belongs to Dallas from signing bonus. $20M one year for Browns and 2 more year to year $20Ms without guarantee. Cut in 2023 no penalty. Edited March 12, 2022 by Joe Mama Quote

TheWeatherMan Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Browns are now over the cap and have no QB on the books for next year. They are going to be hurting going into 2023. 1 Quote
Draconator Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 I feel a post saying this is the fault of administration and coaching not being on the same page, coming from @IronMaidenBills. Like the over/under on that post is like 10 minutes from now... 1 Quote

Expand At least you admit your shortcomings. It's OK to wonder at how teams with negative cap space or very little still sign big time players, or still make big trades. 1 Quote
