When the music stops playing, will Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo be left standing without a chair?
There's a real chance they both will. This is getting ugly.
Browns have even less leverage than us. I could definitely see both getting cut.
This is correct. The Browns save nothing by cutting Baker. We save $20M+ by cutting Jimmy.
At this point the only likely option is Carolina. And that's if we take Darnold's contract back which is a negative asset. Still, would Darnold be an upgrade at backup QB over Sudfeld?
Maybe we can do something like Jimmy for Darnold and a 2023 pick and just agree how much we and Carolina have to pay Darnold next season.
Otherwise I've got nothing.
Probably but taking on a 18 mil dollar backup QB only limits flexibility to extend Deebo and in season expenses.
