Darnold goes for a 2nd, 4th and 6th, Mayfield for a conditional 5th?

 

Even though he's unlikely to ever turn into an elite QB, this a nice trade for Carolina and a million times better than the trade for Darnold.

 

That's what a little leverage will get you.

Steal for the Panthers.  Baker when healthy is better than Darnold.  If it doesn’t work out they have a developing Corral in the wings.

I literally almost had to pick my jaw up off my laptop when I read this news update. I think the compensation back to cleveland is ridiculous! OMG whoa.......AND they still are going to carry part of  bakers  contract?

 

 what a dumpster fire of a franchise.

The Carolina QB room should be pretty interesting.

That draft was supposed to the analytics people vs conventional scouting. Just more proof the QB position is nearly impossible to predict. Just take swings and hope you hit.

Carolina trading for Darnold was 'Jack and the Beanstalk' v. 2.0.  Traded a valuable cow for magic beans.

The Mayfield trade in comparison is savvy business. 😁

Baker - ok starter. Upgrade

Darnold - still sucks

corrol - Well we had to take somebody

PJ Walker - Thanks for the memories!

Conditional 5th. Wow. That is good value. Mayfield is a decent QB. He can help take you to the playoffs. He can win playoff games. The Browns are just looking worse and worse. What a dumpster fire organization.

And we got a 3rd round pick from Cleveland for Tyrod Taylor! Thank you Mr. Beane.

I almost feel bad for DJ Moore, but I then I remember he's making $20 mill per season.

I forgot about that.  Tyrod was a very good qb imo, i think he was worth a 3rd to a team in need.

   The best you can say is both the Darnold and Mayfield contract are up at the end of this year.

   I’m not a Mayfield fan. I think this is classic bridge QB territory. It is also QB purgatory territory as they have a possibility of getting to middle of the draft pack.

So how bad to do want out of the mistake by the lake?  Baker: I'll take a 20% pay cut..  I don't need that 3.5M this year.

[Jerry Jabber]

A #1 overall pick in the draft and the Browns in return get a conditional 5th round pick in two years. What a lousy deal. Plus, the Browns scumbag QB might not even play this year. Mark Jimmy Haslam as the dumbest owner in the NFL and Dan Synder as the worst.

Let’s see what he can get for Keenum.
