I think the Browns will have to eat $8-10M of Mayfield's salary just to move him...sans pick. If they want a pick in return they'll have to eat even more salary...effectively buy a pick. That's the current market situation. It could get better, it could get worse. I think the Mayfield market could get significantly worse if Lance looks like a starter and the 49ers talk about cutting Garoppolo.
Agree, and if they don't want to pay some/most of the contract they will need to send Mayfield and a 3rd or 4th for a 5th maybe 6th.

If you are saying it will cost the browns $8-10 mil to move him and not even get a pick back my guess is we'd keep him.
So rather then save 8 to 10 million you think the Browns would prefer paying the whole 18.6 million and then Mayfield could walk away with his 18.6 million in hand in 2023.

SF won't cut Jimmy G. He's their insurance policy.

If Watson is facing or gets a long suspension? Yes. shorter or no suspension? No, I could see them making this deal.

The 3 weeks prior to Week 1 of the 2022 season was always the sensible time for the 49ers to make a decision about Garoppolo, and that hasn't changed. If Lance isn't ready he'll be a $17-22M starter on a playoff team with a $25.5M salary. If Lance is ready there's no justification in keeping him when he can be released at zero cost. I didn't think he was worth $25.5M several months ago but I thought a team would trade a pick for him even with a salary above his value based on what had happened with Wentz and Darnold. There seems to be more economic sanity in the NFL QB market now than there previously was. Potentially Garoppolo could be cut even if Lance isn't ready. In that future FA market a 49ers offer of $12-15M might be the best option Garoppolo could find. All speculation on my part at this time.

Johnson is a top 10 WR in the same way that Baker is a top 10 QB.

Leave it to a Steelers fan to judge a WR based on a single acrobatic catch.

Lynn Swann is GOAT and actually deserves a spot in the HOF!

The past few years there hasn't been much value in being a fringe top 10 QB anyways.
I hear ya. Jalen Hurts skipped it and went right to top 5.

But kirk cousins is much more useful than baker mayfield.
