Baker Mayfield says goodbye to Cleveland (update - Traded to Panthers)

[Gugny]

If the little moron had kept his mouth shut, he was looking at an incredible opportunity.  Browns keep him and he's the uncontested starter.  Then he's in control of his own destiny.  Have a good season, keep your mouth shut, be professional, then hit free agency.

 

Unfortunately for him, he seems to be incapable of having a good season, keeping his mouth shut and being professional.

 

Now he's just a big baby who wants to take his ball and go home.

Got to wonder about the thought process a bit "Baker isn't emotionally mature enough to lead this team we should try to get Watson." If we try and fail how do you think Baker will handle it? "I'm sure it'll be fine."

I don’t think that is it.  I think they just decided to move on and they’re trying to find the best option possible. They have to play the game regarding him being the starter this season.  They can’t tell other teams to bend them over the negotiating table for him or their next starter.

I don't see why the Browns refuse to trade him. In a year, he'll be a FA and will most likely leave anyway. Why not get something in return for him?

House arrest with Baker Mayfield?

He could do a TV Commercial where they lock the gates at the stadium and won't let him in.  😆

     Lol don't know about anyone else but it kinda looks like Watson is ready to give Baker a kiss in that photo.   If I'm cleveland and guaranteeing his contract I sure hope they included offsets that protect them.  Like Watson can only have massages conducted at the Cleveland training facilities, or stipulating that the masseuse must be a male or the massage session can be taped and if there's no claims by the masseuse then the tape is erased without any viewing.  

 

   I'm thinking Watson is gonna have more incidents in future whether of not he is guilty.  If he Is a sexual predator he won't suddenly be abstaining and that will increase the allegations that come forward.  If he is innocent there will be some lowlife that will try to target him to get some of his cash.  

 

   If I'm an innocent person being accused of such conduct I'm sure as heck taping my sessions fully and that will prevent any future charges that are without any merit or at least have proof the allegations are false.  If Watson is found in future to be a sexual predator beyond any doubt then Cleveland Browns should be held accountable if they did not include any specific ironclad offsets to the money being guaranteed.  Giving any predator that amount of financial stability is in itself criminal.

Mayfield has Dallas Cowboys written all over him…

 

I know it won’t happen, but that’s a match made in heaven.

I can't believe Mayfield thought he could sit out after his career to date. Unless Progressive.com becomes an expansion team, I don't see what exactly he could leverage against.

Colts or Seahawks. Although the Browns may want to trade him to the NFC.

I don't think anyone should be afraid of Baker at this point.  But if seattle wants him they have the draft capital.

He certainly hasn't lived up to his #1 pick status but he isn't a bad QB either. I hope he goes to the NFC as the AFC is already loaded with good/great QB's. I think the Colts would be a dangerous team if they got him.

[BuffaloRebound]

Browns have the cap space to let Mayfield sit out.  They ain’t trading him to the AFC.  The dude is like a little troll that feeds off resentment.  They’ll want him in NFC.

I can't see even the Browns being dumb enough to trade Baker to an AFC team.

 

That leaves Seattle, New Orleans, Carolina, & Detroit as the QB-needy teams.  Saints or Seahawks make the most sense to me.

 

I bet Washington feels awfully stupid after trading for Wentz...

The Lions actually make some sense because he is about the right height to bite people’s knees.
