They seem to be content with Brisette but part of me is still pulling for Baker. He's got a chance to really put the screws to the Browns and win the fans over. Alas, I don't think he'd have thick enough skin to make it work.

Agreed - Baker has the Browns right where he'd want them.

Not sure whom I despise more, Roger Goodell or Rob Manfort. Both have knee jerk reactions to every woke issue imaginable, especially race.

Anybody not see this as the Raiders throwing out a PR bone? "we gave him a chance when nobody else would. Praise us".

Yep, baggage and all, they don't give a ratz azz......

IF he could play, he would be playing................

Well, it's true. But despite what seemingly everyone here wishes, the NFL prints money and is more popular (and more profitable) today than it's ever been.
Goodell is employed by the owners to make them lots of money - and he's remarkable at it.

Agreed - Goodell's job is to take the heat for the owners. He's basically the Karine Jean-Pierre of the league. Take the heat, run the org that handles the day to day - don't ever let revenue slip, other than CV19 etc.

Kaepernick is toast. He’ll never play in the nfl again.

Yes sir - I missed the "taking the heat" part - that is indeed a large part of his role and he takes a lot of it. And he's compensated quite handsomely to be the target.

Phuuck around and you find out. Kap could've rode that SB appearance for another 10 years for at least $15mm per. Instead he took a knee on his career. Nothing to see here; he's all done.

What's always missing from the Kaep narrative - he bailed out of his contract with SF. Had a player option year IIRC and said "no - I want to be a free agent/SJW" and voided that last year of his contract. THEN he had no job offers.

You can't fire me I quit - bam, no one hired me. Now he's sad panda wanting back.

I ran into him, literally, at O'Hare Airport a couple years ago. He's not a big guy, scrawny little thing. We stood there looking at each other, waiting for the other to move out of the way. His little minions he travels with got very upset with me, lol! But, I'm built like a defensive end and he's... well... a scrawny little quarterback. All the while, my wife is trying to get a picture of him, they thought she was trying to video all of it, I still laugh about it. We each kinda side stepped each other and went on our way.

Keapernick is a lightning rod for drama and distraction.
Antonio Brown is another.

And it wouldn't surprise me if the league goes 2 years on Watson's suspension to teach the Browns a lesson about 1/4 billion dollar, fully guaranteed contracts to guys staring at 24+ cases of sexual assault/harassment. If a guy with THAT many red flags gets that plus the pics given up for him - what's a guy like Herbert, Burrow etc going to command? I'm thinking there's 31 owners VERY pissed at Haslam's group.

The team would’ve been better off with Tebow.

Hear me out! He would’ve been CHEAP. He would’ve FILLED the stadium. He would’ve SOLD merch. AND, if he didn’t play so well, you get BETTER picks in next year’s draft, for being a worse team.

The Browns don't have any problem putting butts in seats or selling merch.
They have a continually-stepping-on-their-pee-pee problem. laugh

Baker’s already stated he won’t play for the Browns this year, or ever again.

Brown’s continue to show their dumassery by signing Waton. Who should be called Bill Cosby jr.

SeaHaggs or some other team will hire Mayfield.
Book it 😜

I would rather view the horrific human being that is a known homosexual, metro-sexual, criminal, liar, conspirator, racist, low life, convict, druggie that is now known as juicy smellit than to see colon capernuts in any venue!
