RedzoneMonster 102 Posted October 13, 2022 He wasn’t that good when he played for LA. If he signs somewhere let someone else spend a ton of FAB on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, but he "def kno" his worth. He is / was no doubt an incredible talent in his prime and hope for his and our sake he might be again. Comeback stories are usually fun and add to the game...Unless they involve Kaepernick...Then it's just dumb, bring us back to the stone ages, racial idiocy.

Why are teams waiting and potentially missing out? I don't think he is that sought after. I mean plenty of teams with interest but does anyone think he gets their team over the hump? Doubtful. The reason they wait is because he could have a setback with rehab. Why go pay a guy in August who still has 3 or 4 months left of rehab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,451 Posted October 13, 2022 Seems to me that A Brown was having a lot more off field issues when he accepted Brady’s advances to join the Bradys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 587 Posted March 21, 2023 honestly I wouldnt sign the guy, but that wouldnt stop me from sending a scout and pretending I'm interested. if it makes other teams bid more money on the guy, that means these competitors will have less money to spend elsewhere on their roster. so there may be some mind games going on here, but I dont know truly how many people would really be interested in him.

Ray_T 587 Posted March 22, 2023 4 hours ago, League Champion said: Anyone can sign him now, there's been not one offer. its likely not as simple as just signing him. most teams have a QB with a contract. if bringing in a contract like that, you need to open up cap space and (likely) find a home for your current starting QB. If their starter has a no trade clause, the team is automatically out. Maybe there is some talk of sign and trade where the team sends their QB to Baltimore along with draft picks and sign the guy..... but I think his age, style of play, and injury history have scared a lot of teams off. not to mention the price of 2 first round picks for the privileges of being able to overpay a slightly above average (but not elite) QB who has elite running abilities. the pool of teams interested is probably low. maybe no more than 2 or 3 teams.

The 2 first round picks are nothing, anyone would part with 2 first rounders for an elite QB, but he's not Elite. If he was elite 6 teams would be fighting over him right now, they'd find a way. The Texans have cap room, the Jets do, the Giants could of moved on from DJ, Saints (pre-Carr), Raiders, Patriots, Commanders, etc. It's not logistical as you suggest. There's plenty of teams in need of a QB who could make it work, quite easily. It's just too risky, thank the Browns for F'ing up the market. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just too risky, thank the Browns for F'ing up the market. well, the Browns will likely get whats coming to them. if their man does not produce in year 2 of that contract they are in a whole lot of trouble. They thought they were spending that cash on the best QB in the NFL and what they got so far has been Mediocre at best. granted, he had a year out of football and came back to a new coach and a new system, so this year may be better if he gets to go through camp and properly learn the system. but unless this guy is putting up top 3 numbers for QB's hes nowhere close to being worth the money and the team has a fully guaranteed contract they need to find a way to deal with. This contract may have guaranteed the Browns wont be able to compete for a very long time if this signing turns out to be a dud. for this reason I could see a lot of teams being gun-shy about pulling the trigger on another deal like this.
