tbh I think Baker will be pretty loyal to Carolina because they are the only ones to "believe" in him. I think if its between one team paying slightly more and carolina he would go Carolina. (this is all based on if he plays really well this year)

I don't think that is true at all. After all, he had to change his guaranteed contract so that he had to "earn" his money. Then he shows up to have to compete for the job. If anything, they have shown they have very little belief in him at all. 

This may very well be to rehabilitate his career for a better opportunity, because we basically have him on a one year "prove it" deal.

Mayfield is definitely capable of a top 8/probowl type year. But he also can get injured and have a year like last year. You pretty much have to give him the contract/make him your franchise QB if he has a great year. If he has just a good year, I imagine the Panthers will explore options in the draft, or check on Lamar Jackson/Huntley trades (both are free agents and Tepper will do anything to get a franchise QB)

Crazy hard pass on Lamar

Even if you don't consider the cost it would take to get him, either the trade value or the contract we'd have to give him, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

He's never been a great passer, his one big passing year was just wide open receivers all year long, their OC was outstanding that year.  If Cam's body couldn't hold up to the rigors of being a running QB, Lamar is going to breakdown even faster.

I think the Ravens believe this to be true too, because if not, there is no way they wouldn't have already locked him up to a long term deal, they want to see what happens with him this year both in regards to health and his passing ability.

Hoping he has a solid year. Would love to sign for a 3 year extension, 80% guaranteed at the Tannehill/Jimmy G price tag of about 28 a year assuming we win 9 games or more.

The QB market has exploded so those deals aren't likely to be relevant for anything outside of a fringe starter type. 

If he balls out, it's gonna be expensive to resign him.

Serious question. How do we tag him if we are -35 million in cap space and the tag for a QB is 30 million?

Its not easy, but not impossible either. The tag, doesnt really work, a long-term deal does. That way the first year will be something like 5-8 million in cap numbers.

Some cuts.

Brian Burns in on his 5th year deal, another long-term type deal with the first year being small would help too. 

It can be done.

But can it be done w a 30 million dollar tag? I don't think Bakers a long term solution. I do agree a small 2 year deal would work best.

If he plays like Delhomme 2.0 I’d be tickled

Baker does have the comeback magic......I think you will be pleasantly tickled. But at-last, didnt you pledge thyself for the beaguals fandom or was that just your emotional side talking?

They were my playoff team last year to pull for… that franchise has unfortunately a lot of hapless similarities to ours

It cann't. Unless massive cuts or the top 6 players re-do their contracts to push the cap hit into later years. I think next year Shaq and Mo town will be either the highest cap hit of their groups or right at the top. For Mo town its ALL tackles, and shaqs its inside LBs. Just add additional years and keep pushing the hit towards the future..........

Thats why a long-term is the only way. You *could tag him in order to prevent talks with other teams, but I forget the date...its the new year date, you must be under the cap limit by (guess) March 25th. Could re-send the tag before, but it would be silly to do so.

I said believe in quotes for a reason. How many offers did he have though?

      Family drama (Cam and Smitty)

      By mav1234 · Posted

      He can say what he feels, but he's not saying "the previous year, the team wasn't very good" he directly called his teammates out and in a way that is flat-out not true. "You are your record"? Oh ok, he's only had 3 winning seasons, but in my mind he isn't a loser, and I bet he isn't in his either - cause football is a team sport and wins and losses are on the team, even when one really bad player (Jimminy Pickles) can basically screw over everything.  And this comes on the heels of his thing about the MVP, which is fine, but also selfish. His teammates consistently went to bat for him... Just feels like he's more about himself.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good point--I think this draft is great for us at this time--At the top of the draft, the DT (DEs/NTs in 3-4) are loaded.  The Edges are deep.  We need to double dip there--hoping to move back so we can add three players to that pool.  In free agency, if I were Morgan, I would focus on DBs and  ILB--fix the back end of the defense.  If he signed a S, CB, ILB, and TE, it would be cost effective.  In the draft, DE, Edge, and WR should be the priorities.  After that, OL Depth, QB depth, DB depth, RB depth.  My Free agent Targets:  TE: Juwan Johnson, Saints.  29, had over 500 yards with Saints. S: Julian Blackmon, Colts.  He will be one of the top free agents--gonna cost us, but not like an edge or WR. ILB: Tyrel Dodson, Dolphins.  80 tackles on just 854 snaps--under 27 years of age. CB: Mike Jackson, Carolina.  He is 28 and had 3 picks and was on the field at all times.  68 PFF score. NT:  best available for Evero's system.
