    absolutely agree 100%. Even though he didn't put up great #s last year, he was easily worth the 15m we paid him. Not sure he's going to carry that same worth after this year with everyone else having another year of experience and when we have so many other big deals to ink/prepare for.

    Fuck it. Give Higgy $40m over 4 years and lets roll.

    I appreciate the sentiment but we're going to have to pay Myles, Baker, and Denzel dumb contracts

    I know. I'm just being dumb. I really want to keep Higgins, but it doesn't seem reasonable to pay 3 WRs $10m+ per

    Baker has this year and then two more years under his current deal.

    OBJ has four years left after this year, but only $2.75m is guaranteed next year, nothing guaranteed the final three years.

    Jarvis has three years left after this year. None of it is guaranteed.

    Myles has one more year after this year before he gets $100M+.

    Denzel has two more years after this season before his deal is up.

    I say you front load a 4 year deal for Higgins. 4yr/$40m with $25m guaranteed in first 2 years.

    We have fifth year options on Baker, Myles, and Denzel but yes they'll all get paid in their fourth years

    If we're lucky the salary cap will go up a lot and we can reset the market with those three and not be in a terrible position cap wise

    it sounds like Strong might make the roster as WR6. Baker can make shitty WRs roster worthy.

    I had hope that he could put it together year two. Probably time to write that one off though.

    I think Kush can be serviceable, but it wouldn’t shock me if Dorsey started sniffing around to see if there are any guards available via trade.

    Building the Browns is really great.

    Also I think Drew Forbes is the starter at RG by the end of the year

    totally agree about Forbes. He's ascending really quick. My guess is Kush starts the first few games, has a bad game, Forbes comes in and rest is history.

    We traded a Pro Bowler to clear a path for Corbett and he can't beat out a guy on his 7th team in 6 years, along with being atrocious in the preseason against backups. Maybe he'll improve but I'm not counting on it.

    There were clearly some hits in last year's draft, but that's expected when you have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds.

    It is a really bad take.

    We got Baker, Ward, Chubb, Avery, and Callaway out of one draft. That's really good.

    I gotta say that a guy that played at one of the top-5 football factories in the nation commenting on how much winning a dude surrounded by 3-stars did seems dumb to me.

    baker walked onto a team and sat behind a QB that led OU to an 8-5 season and got DRUMMED in the Camping World bowl game by Clemson's backup QB.

    He took the same roster and went to the playoffs the next year.

    While yes, OU has more talent than the majority of the teams they face, he also went 34-6 in 3 years and NEVER lost a road game. That is boss.

    Baker is my favorite sooner ever. People try to say it's recency bias, and yes I'm only 32, but I've seen the down years, I've seen a rejuvenation and national championship, and everything in between.

    What Baker brought to OU, and when he brought it, along with Lincoln, those 2 single handedly changed the direction of the program. Bob was stagnant and on a downward trend. Lincoln pushed the program into the modern era of recruiting, Baker changed the entire teams demeanor and attitude. They both challenged everyone on the status quo.

    We had gone from ZERO emotion Landry Jones, to guys like Trevor Knight, Blake Bell and Cody Thomas that were all athletes trying to play QB, and Josh Heupel who had ZERO personality and decisive gameplan himself.

    In steps a brash QB with huge nuts and became the leader, and backed up everything he said.

    OU was on the same path as teams like UT when Mack Brown started trending down, and the program still hasn't recovered. In one offseason they transformed us back into the elite status.

    Baker looks to be doing the same in Cleveland. I've said it many times in many places, I learned to stop doubting Baker a LOOOOOONG time ago.

    my previous post says enough, but if you followed OU closely you would have known how closely we were to a dark period. Recruiting was bad, the team had no identity, no attitude. He came in and spoke for everyone and backed up every single thing he said. He went into hostile territory and stole victories. The team and fanbase went from "not this shit again" to "oh yes here we go"... that kind of stuff can't be quantified, but when you're in it, you just know.

    Interesting signing considering how deep we are at WR. I wonder if he’s a depth guy why Callaway is suspended.
