I would point out both MKC and Rap said there will be no negotiations on a new contract.

Clearly the Browns aren't out on upgrading on Baker, and this is more of a "well, what else can we do" type of thing.
What's stopping them from negotiating low risk, high reward contract with little guaranteed after next season if other options don't pan out?

No real reason for Baker to sign it, honestly.
 
I know I don't watch him week to week, but Cousins seems vastly underrated for the numbers he puts up. He's top 10 in yards, TDs, and INT%. He's 15 in QBR, but there is only 1 guy above him (Wentz or 2 if I flip him with Garappalo) who I'd say aren't as good as Cousins. I don't think I take anybody below him except LJax. Do we want a QB who's floor is maybe 20th and ceiling is at most 12th? Is that the same as Baker? Cousins has at least proven this level of consistency.
 
Flores will end up in Denver and so will Watson. Denver will then be a really good team.
Not so fast. Watson apparently doesn't like cold weather cities, which would make Denver like a longshot.

How about this crazy scenario that I heard this morning- Houston fires David Culley & hires Flores (he & Caserio worked together in NE). Flores then is able to mend fences and Watson stays with the Texans.

This was the first thought that came to mind. I haven't followed the situation that closely, but I believe the bridge between Watson and Caserio isn't completely burnt down?

I believe you're correct. Of course, the Texans still have a head coach, at this point, but it will be interesting to watch this play out.
