Why would anybody do that? Trades require a partner

Yeah, IF someone takes on Darnold we're going to still be paying $10-15M of his salary and giving up a decent rookie. It's obvious teams are waiting for the Browns to eventually cut Baker and eat all that cap hit so someone can sign him for cheap. Why would Darnold be any different?

You don’t know that. And that would be incredibly stupid. Why make a deal like that?

Rhule needs to win now .. but every QB in this draft, experts agree, is a project. Drafting a QB doesn't add up.

Well Rhule is a dipshit so the math actually works.

Trubisky is getting like $7M from the Steelers, Teddy $10M from the Dolphins so that's the market for a question mark/backup QB. And yes why make that deal? That's probably in the ballpark of whats being offered but we don't really have any option besides keep him or take a shitty deal to get rid of him

Trading Darnold shifts his entire cap hit to the other team no? Looks like it according to the normal cap sites.

Sure we might give up Hubbard in that deal but who would be the other side? 

 

Not sure if 5th year options are different but we paid 70% of Teddy's salary last year for him to play for the Broncos, otherwise we were probably stuck with him

Say if you're the Texans GM or whatever, and you take on $19M for Darnold and Shi Smith and send away a 3rd round pick you should be fired immediately. If you do it and send away nothing you should still probably be fired

If they only wanted Shi in the deal then fine. Ship him but Shi has upside. Give them Chuba or Fletch. 
 

I’ll call it now, they trade BC. He doesn’t fit into McAdoo’s scheme and another team would want him.

you didnt answer my question.  Why would we still be paying $10-$15M

 

I do agree that would be stupid for another team to do.

We paid 70% of Teddy's 2021 salary for the Broncos to take him. I'm basing that concept off that trade, not sure if 5th year options are different

I think Teddy actually restructured just to get out of Rhule world actually now that i'm looking at it. If that's the case and the 5th year option is all or nothing and I"m another GM I want Chinn w Darnold or I have zero interest.
