Baker is a competent qb and everyone thinks they can rehab a top pick. What was the name of the long neck qb the Bears signed to a huge deal like 10 years ago? Teams are dumb and desperate a dangerous combo I mean the Browns aren’t going to keep him Quote

If Luck announces his retirement a little sooner, the colts would have been prime candidates to draft Josh Allen…or Sam Darnold… Quote

Why - because he is young and at least a mid-level QB and the last time a team pissed him off - he took his ball from TT to Oklahoma and won a heisman trophy and took his team into the CFB playoffs. He is better when playing the underdog/lesser role. If you can get that for a 3rd or 4th and get maybe a couple of better picks for Ryan - it is win/win. Quote

GunnerBill Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 10 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Why would anyone trade picks for Mayfield? Agree. They are not getting much for him knowing that the 5th year option is $18m and the team then has to make a decision on him. The only way they could drive up the price pick wise is to do a new deal with him, then trade him.... but that gets hideously complicated, especially when the relationship between team and player has broken down. Is it impossible? No, but I don't think it is likely. Same as the Darnold situation in Carolina. The Browns have the added complication that everyone knows with Watson there and Brissett there they are moving on from Baker. So teams could very well just sit out and wait for him to be cut. The only picks you are getting for Baker in this situation is a day 3 pick from a team who doesn't think they'd be front of the queue if he was cut. Atlanta? Seattle maybe? The Saints possibly? It is hard to find spots. Quote
CapeBreton Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 It would be so frustrating to be a Colts fan since Luck retired. The rest of their team is really good but every year they have a mediocre QB. 1 Quote

They built the team around him just in time for him to retire. 2 Quote

DCofNC Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Man, the Colts keep trying the Elway theory and blowing it. You can’t get guys that have never been greats and expect greatness when they are 40 years old. If they give up any real assets for him, their GM should be fired. I could see a flier on Mayfield, giving Mariota another shot, Minshew, whatever, but Matty’s Corpse is on Ice at this point. Just a bad move. Love to see it from a team that’s built to contend. Quote
