Insanity.

$46 million a year. Fully guaranteed. Nuts.

I wouldn't be so sure. They seem to be high on Mills down there. Baker could be going to IND or SEA. I bet Kareem Hunt is in the deal though.

Could use him in a separate trade to get some picks back. I think it depends on how houston feels about mills long term. Sounds like they like him

Lol nah, this is it. Atlanta must now hate the guy.

What are the ripple effects now? Baker is gone obviously. Matt Ryan too most likely. Finally free agents will make up their minds. Expect things to pick up for Eagles now.

I’m curious what other players were traded. I’m guessing Hunt, Ward, Njoku.

Wouldn’t count on it 

All the QBs are in the AFC.

 

Man I don't want to push any chips in this year. Getting the right QB in the 2023 class could be game-changing.

Agreed. I like Watson but I would have freaked out if the Eagles did that.

Cleveland trying to buy their way out of decades of futility.

So, who is the favorite in the AFCN now?

Good. If they had dished out $46M/yr guaranteed I'd have puked.

Yeahhh...NOPE

 Bengals. Browns will have to play half the season with Case Keenum

 

Howie will continue monitoring the situation

Indy makes the most sense for baker in terms of roster. However i think seattle has better assets to offer. I don’t think a team like the new Orleans is out of that market if Jameis goes to the colts and doesn’t return to NO 

Remember: It's about the money. Not "winning". Not the "GM". The money.

Feels like the other teams probably balked at that contract proposal, and only Cleveland was willing to do it

Yep

All of the remaining dominoes will start to fall.

Should cover his legal fees.

His defense attorney just upped his rate and the plaintiff's settlement demands just doubled.

Cleveland is by far his best chance to win though of the interested teams.

Yeah, I agree. Browns should definitely make the playoffs though. The talent disparity at QB between the AFC and NFC is definitely the widest ever.

God I hope so. Been a slow first week of FA.

Bengals, ravens and browns games should be fun. Bengals fixing their oline is huge. That was their biggest weakness. Browns biggest was QB. I’m guessing a WR like fuller winds up in Cleveland. I wonder what landry is thinking now cause I’m sure he’d probably loved to play with watson in Cleveland and not baker
