Shamless Gloating about my take on Baker Mayfield

[WindyCitySteel]

The NFL Network was showing the Chiefs/Browns opener the other day, pre-injury Baker. Only caught the end, but that stiff scramble and game ending INT were enough to put me off of him. I thought he was more mobile than that.

Report: Baker Mayfield’s 2022 Salary Holding Up Potential Trade

MAR 25, 2022

As the Browns prepare to move forward with a new quarterback, the organization still has important work to do involving its old one.

Baker Mayfield remains without a sense of direction in the wake of his trade request on March 17 and Cleveland’s acquisition of Deshaun Watson the following day. Mayfield, 26, was reportedly set to sit out prior to the Watson trade until the team honored his request.

As things currently stand, however, the market for the former No. 1 pick remains influx as teams are uninterested in taking on Mayfield’s $18.86 million salary (fifth-year option) in 2022, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

“[It] does not seem like anybody is interested at this salary and the ‘at this salary’ part is key because Baker Mayfield is unlikely to be traded at $18 million,” he said. “If the Browns are able to eat some money, if the agent and the new team can work it out and come up with some sort of answer to how to split or deal with Baker Mayfield’s salary, then I believe he will be traded. I don’t get the sense the Browns are going to release him, certainly not imminently, maybe never.”

It was previously reported that Mayfield’s camp spoke with the Panthers and Seahawks, but Carolina is now believed to be out of the conversation and Seattle could explore a move “at the right price.” The 26-year-old has already missed out on the chance to join the Colts, his preferred landing spot, after the team acquired Matt Ryan from the Falcons.

Mayfield enters his fifth season looking to answer questions about his play and health after a trying 2021 season. He amassed 3,010 yards, 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 14 starts for the 8–9 Browns.

Someone will sign Mayfield after a camp injury.

We've all seen enough games with Baker to know what he is. Browns know obviously. Place for him in the league for sure just not the quality starter his high draft position would have led one to believe.

Not a Baker fan but how can one play or a series turn you off of a QB?

Even the best QB’s have a bad series or 2 in tight games.

For me its seeing the same mistakes in multiple games or over the course of their career.

He looked old and slow and 4 year QBs just can't make that throw.

Baker Mayfield Says He Feels Disrespected by Browns

We've seen Ben make some awful throws well past his 4 year mark. It happens.

I think Baker still has some ability. I won't be surprised to see him do well outside the factory of sadness.

its amazing how a throw or 3 can define a players whole career. You can put together a nice reel of any QB’s bad passes

Baker never (or rarely) showed the good stuff Ben did, though. Throw in the drama and I'm over briefly considering him.
