I hear you loud and clear.....unfortunately TT's contract may not afford beane the luxury to know before the third day
i'm not throwing good money after bad to recoup value.....I've seen all I need to see on TT.....he's done
only a proven free agent fulfills your preferred way (cousins, foles, keenum ?) all of those guys may take longer than 3 days to listen to offers and decide where they want to play.
any plan to draft a QB does not mean they will be better than TT....draft is a crapshoot
you lose nothing by trying to trade him
they are moving on from TT
if they do it now (first 3 days) they have $7.6 or 8.6 mil in dead cap
if they gamble and wait longer this year, they give him a $6 mil bonus and dead money goes up to $13.6
if they get stuck with him all year he counts $18 mil in cap this year and then an additional $5.5 in dead money for 2019

Release Ramifications
Pre March 16th: $8.64M dead cap ($9.44M savings)
March 16th-June 1st: $13.64M dead cap ($4.44M savings)
Post June 1st: $8.08M dead cap ($10M savings), additional $5.56M dead cap in 2019
that would be ideal......but even if they strike out in free agency, I say TT gets released by third day
this whole rapaport story is about improving the bills chances of trading TT for anything during that 3 day window
SMOKESCREEN.....
beane is using the press to try and save $1 million in cap space
TRADE: Pre March 16th: $7.64M dead cap ($10.44M savings)
RELEASE: Pre March 16th: $8.64M dead cap ($9.44M savings)
much harder to trade TT if people know the bills will release him
Cousins
a bird in the hand (proven top 10 nfl qb) is worth 3 in the bush (crapshoot draft picks)
then I still have all my draft picks (two #1's and two #2's) to fill my other holes
he's angling to go to Miami
Report: Dolphins set March meeting with Baker Mayfield
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/20/report-dolphins-set-meeting-with-baker-mayfield-before-his-pro-day/
i'm hoping the Browns pick a QB with BOTH picks #1 & #4
that would be awesome
I either get a kings ransom for #4.....or i'm picking a QB and trading later
he's a sure fire first rounder......ARZ or BUF takes him in the unlikely event he falls out of Top 6
I say you go.....he's hiding something/avoiding questions.....needs to face them head on,,,,they are not going away
I would do that too...
but that would cost all (most) your draft picks......two firsts and a third......and then you would still need to pay them +$25 mil or more
my plan...pay cousins $30 mil and keep your picks......we have way to many needs besides QB
OC in name only
doesn't call plays
isn't being credited with bringing QB Wentz along which goes to John DeFilippo (new Vikings OC)
what does frank reich do ?

#2- marv levy - totally outcoached in that game....embarrassingly so
#3 - poor tackling by most of the defense
#4 - poor play by jim kelly
