Nah we want to gain a 3rd by taking on his contract, not give up next years and break even. They'd like that though

Huntley was a UDFA so he's not on a 4 year rookie contract, RFA next year. Don't trust Rhule to even coach up/play him enough to even see if he's worth keeping after 2022

No way they'd get that much back for a guy on his 5th year option that they may have to cut, maybe a 2023 conditional 5th if he's the starter.

They could trade for Baker during the draft if it involves us getting a pick from the Browns to take on a chunk of his salary. Maybe send back a 2023 conditional pick or something

I mean theres a good chance he won't get past Falcons at 8 or Seahawks at 9

Same team that sent 3 1sts for trey lance

Ok, so basically they wish they had day 2 picks. That's what I got from this. Question is if they can't trade back from 6, can they really just sit around for like 36 hours without a pick? We don't have any players to trade away, teams are gonna want 2023 picks and one of our 5ths

He can say that now, but once no one wants to trade up to 6, and we're sitting around doing nothing on day 2 he's gonna get the itch. He just said it's a really good draft between picks 25-50, wish they had thought about that before the Darnold and CJ trades

They look at CJ as their 3 round pick for this year. Kinda doesn't work out math wise when he only has 2 years left on his rookie deal.

Fitt says they're adding to the QB room this weekend

Oof with Picketts low physical ceiling and needing 5 years at average college competition to produce a solid season do not want. Watching film breakdowns I feel like Malik already had some NFL worthy mental decisions when scrambling even though he was in a limited system with sub par Wr's. Pickett has a lot of really questionable softballs thrown into zone coverage that would equate to many interceptions in the NFL. Malik usually throws a to the sidelines kinda thing where only his WR can get it/throwaway play to live for the next down.

Yup that's a precursor to Pickett's 2022 lowlight reel if we draft him.

I'm interested in how all of the teams pick in such a weird draft. More interested in that than what guys we get for Rhule to not develop/bench/whatever he's up to this year. Definitely won't be glued to the tv set unless we get a crazy trade back offer

He also removed the 3rd year $21M of the contract which the numbers don't exist anymore but I think I saw it would have been a $5M dead cap hit to cut him this year.

They don't really need to clear the cap space, they might have to just pay almost all of his salary in order to trade him out of the division

Teddy agreed to restructure his contract/take less money to go to Denver. Baker doesn't have to help Cleveland out at all

Picked a bad year to not have day 2 picks. Might be stuck at 6 with no one wanting to trade. Or we just get fleeced in the trade for only a 3rd or something

Yup. Cut Cam, Had Teddy and paid for him to play for another team, wrecked our draft this year for Darnold while not taking Fields or Jones probably out of embarrassment. If he's worth anything he should have Darnold and CJ Henderson playing up to their draft positions, he asked for it. We're all miserable but in hindsight this is going to be worse than Chip Kelly bad as far as a complete waste of time

At best he developed Miles a bit, Melo is naturally talented but don't see any coaching improvement from last year. He then proceeded to play mostly journeyman vets over Thor/Kai/Bouknight who Kupchak is probably frustrated are not getting their developmental minutes. I kinda wish he hadn't gotten Plumlee or Trez for the year so he would have been forced to play/develop the young guys instead of stick with stubborn safe rotations. Lazy coaching in my opinion

The whole reason we have like 30 threads on all this is because this staff made the now incredibly frustrating. That said I'd take Neal/Ikey. If gone then Malik or trade back. If we do have a trade back I'm sure we'll have a 50 page thread of new theories in real time during the draft
