Fully guaranteed and major cap hit makes this the worst contract in the history of the game.

That is a lot of money to pay while also giving up such critical draft picks. This is the most Cleveland deal ever.

Agreed. I don't think that Cleveland is that close. Nor do they have the value 1st round picks needed to get better quickly.

As much as I like your avatar...why a new thread?

Wonder how long it takes for Browns fans to turn on him? First 2-3 int game maybe? Those fans they're definitely loyal to their team but it usually doesn't take long to turn on the QB.

I have been watching some of the drama here closer than normal. I think Deshaun should send Baker a nice fruit basket and card, and also something for his birthday and Christmas... I think the browns made an offer, Deshaun turned it down, the browns went home, and the spouse said “eff you, I know what you just did, I’m filing for divorce!” so the Browns turned around and significantly increased the offer (they were about to have major issues at the position)… haha what a ish show.

I’m not a BM fan, but hope the kid lands in a good spot. I think getting out of Cleveland is the best thing for him. I could have easily seen the Browns tossing 2 more tags on him after this year as they were still shopping for a QB… If Baker can make it to FA in 2023, he will be highly sought after.

I want to see the final details of this trade. Hopefully the Texans made up some ground, because they’ve been absolutely fleeced the past few years.

He stays out of the NFC and gets to torture the now inept Mitch Trubisky-led Stillers twice a year. Life is good!

One of the best OL in the game, a top 10 defense, and Chubb/Hunt in the backfield. They’re really close.
QB play definitely hindered them.

If there's karma in the world this will backfire on the Browns. Based on their franchise history I'm sure it will.

Wait, 24 wasn't part of the original lawsuits? Hahahahahahahaha, Cleveland just spent 3 1st round draft picks to keep Baker Mayfield.

If we do sign him he should be in between Josh Allen and DC range…

Exactly. And where is Brady on that list? There is a reason he is the GOAT and has 7 superbowl titles. He has always put winning above having the title of being the highest paid QB. Kyler and these new age QB's could learn something from him.

Brady got PAID for years before he took this approach though. He didn't do this his entire career.

He'll get 45+.

Exactly. They just need to find a significant other that is much richer than them then they’ll start winning championships.

Also, it’s actually insane that Watson isn’t in prison for life, yet. The dude is a serial rapist.
