Two days into tampering and the Browns are quietly having one of the biggest FA’s I can recall

@WellYouNeednt and I were Tiktoking back and forth and we think it has something to do with the shake up in the fan base and finally holding them accountable for the Browns prior offseason failures

Did you guys act it out shirtless doing the dance to that song?

Is anyone else surprised no team have made a major offer to Baker, it is Day 2?

We have no idea what offers he's gotten.

I suspect his offer won't be major but there is momentum to get him to TB.

I'd like Marcus Mariota as the backup QB but he may cost more then what we are willing to invest. Still think he's one of the better options out there for that role. He could opt to go to a team with a more clear path of starting like ARZ.

I’m all the way in on Elijah Moore

Starting to think this makes the most sense for a few different reasons…

1). Financially: Moore is signed on a rookie deal for two more years, which is key.. Cooper is signed for two more years and you have an upcoming DPJ extension.. You are also having to be fiscally responsible in building the team out with current needs..

Trading for Cooks/Hopkins/or any higher priced veteran, essentially means Cooper or DPJ is pushed out next year and you also have to account for that cap room this year.. Same goes for Jeudy, who is due an extension next year.. Browns can achieve an WR upgrade without doing either which is where Moore or a rookie WR comes in..

If the Browns can get Hardman, Chark, Campbell on a relatively affordable deal (say under $5M AAV) then that could be another option but doesn’t seem readily available..

Moore’s contract allows them to thread the needle the next two years with Cooper and DPJ and go from there..

2). Age: Moore will be 23 with two years of experience — he’s young enough to be around for awhile but also has the experience to likely make an impact from day one which isn’t always guaranteed with a rookie.. This is a make or break year and counting on a rookie to produce is a bit risky.. On the other end, you’re also paying guys who are 30+ high end money and likely paying a high mid-round pick to acquire them..

With Rodgers on the horizon and potential GB vets coming with him, Moore may be a guy they ultimately look to move off of.. When you consider talent, contract and readiness to produce, think Moore provides an intersection for the Browns that is really appealing..

Between Amari, DPJ, Bell & Elijah Moore, that's a hell of a room even if it would be considered by most to be unproven. Moore has the type of profile I can see AB valuing highly.

Question I could probably look up but will ask you guys. Is Moore a blazer/fast? Just making sure he fits that need/profile that we're missing in the room since Schwartz seems pretty much hopeless at this point to rely on.
