That's what I said. I think either you misinterpreted it or I've had enough beer already (or we both have).
EDIT: Yea, I said spending 230 instead of riding with the guy you already have.
If they get a 5th rounder for him at this point I would be shocked. They are gonna get raked over the coals by every team that needs a QB to get rid of Baker.
This is just like the move "draft day".
Except the Browns gave up more than just 3 1st round picks, picked up a QB that ever in their fan base apparently hates and paid him $230 million instead of riding with the guy that you had.
I think that's pretty close.
Watch his presser and you can tell he was pissed about it because he said he heard that "It was done" with the WFT negotiations and then they went back on it.
Barkley's was 1-0 as a starter for the Bills and 8 years younger than FItz.
Again, I get the love for Fitz but don't think it's going to happen. Pretty sure he's even said if he comes back he's not going to sign with a team he's played for before. I know that can be lip service but just an added hurdle.
Either that or the agent was talking out of both sides of his mouth which wouldn't surprise me. Either way, both the player and the agent are probably on Beane's blacklist.
I get the love for Fitz but come on.
He was out all season last year with a hip injury/surgery and is 39.
People were complaining about signing a 32y old von Miller and you want to sign a guy with a walker as your back up qb?
I'll give you the upgrade at QB but taken seriously with Cooper as their only receiver worth anything and now no 1st round picks for 3 years along with a few others this year, they really haven't done anything more than sign a big name.
Rodgers had Jennings, Nelson and Adams as his bread and butter in a good deal of their best years (Adams still growing).
I'd like to see Rodgers with the WR corp of Zay Jones, Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes as his top 3 receivers.
