The San Francisco 49ers draft Brock Purdy with the 262nd pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Mr. Irrelelvant. He started his career as a backup to Trey Lance, for whom the San Francisco 49ers traded a gaudy amount of draft capital to move up. Unfortunately for Lance, he could not grasp the San Francisco 49ers playbook. He took the reins in 2022 as a starter, but he was injured two games in and did not look like a starting quarterback. Between the two games, he threw for 194 yards and an interception. Jimmy Garoppolo filled in until Week 13 when…

The Cleveland Browns are already at the point in their season where they are questioning their current roster. It looks as if they have already made contract moves to make the trade deadline more manageable. The Cleveland Browns trade rumors are already swirling.

It also added dummy years to the tail end of his contract, allowing him to ease the dead cap space hit for 2025 from $15…
