I think Id take him on watson&hisbags.......I doubt Mccadoo feels the same....tho I did see he rated lamar 2nd overall in that draft when no one else did......  A faster Cam is just fine by me....

Either that or we go LT at 6 and trade for Jimmy G or Mayfield. I don’t care what “reports” say about our and Bakers mutual interest. Nobody tells the truth this time of year. 

Oh, I think the mutual disinterest is probably legitimate.

The question for me is whether Matt Rhule changes his mind if there aren't any other options.

Perhaps to Houston as part of a deal for Tunsil??

Spotrac has him with a 35 million dollar cap hit next year. Even if we were to be willing not having our 2nd and 3rd this year makes that difficult unless we are going to offer a player in return.

- Trade Darnold and CJ Henderson for a 2022 7th rounder 

- Re-sign Stephon Gilmore 

- Give up a 2023 3rd rounder for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Also he doesn’t have a no trade clause so it might not even matter if he wants to be here or not

His extension has hit a halt and I just don't think it's out of the picture for Baltimore.  I know he's their dude and former MVP, but is he worth the extension they'd be willing to give?

If everyone is on the table for a given price and we are really in on every deal, I'm calling them to see what their price is.  We have the moolah now to give any QB a huge freaking contract and pieces I can frankly see Baltimore coveting on our defense.

Well if we did get it we would obviously do a new contract to lower that by quite a bit

The only thing that makes sense in my mind is a Darnold for Jimmy G swap. Obviously we would have to add a young player or a pick but really nothing else seems realistic.

I had no idea they can cut Jimmy G and save like $25M. Only $1.4M bonus guaranteed. Not sure what leverage we'd have. 

[hepcat]

Trading for Sam Darnold in the first place wasn’t a horrible idea. Picking up his option was so f*cking stupid.

No one wants him. He costs $19m and he sucks. It’s a Brock Osweiler type trade. The Panthers are trading away an asset for cap space. Then whoever receives Darnold would cut him most likely. 

[mav1234]

what do you think it'd cost for whatever team it is to take Rhule too?

Trading for a guy who really doesn't want to play for you is a pretty dicey proposition.

I don't really think Mayfield would have a problem sitting out.

[onmyown]

long as 2023 picks are safe let Rhule do whatever fugery he’s going to do, there isn’t much cap to f up so he’s really forced to win with a rookie or cheap vet

works for me

touch picks and die

Kinda wonder if they’ve decided to go with Cam this season.

Cam and Willis is the dream scenario if they plan on drafting a QB. I really hope we draft a LT though because we currently don’t have a legit LT on the roster.
