Baker to Carolina

I've needed some clarity all week ?
How does a trade for Mayfield work for the Browns’ salary cap?
As it stands right now, a trade would be almost perfect for Cleveland. There would be no dead money, and they would not owe Mayfield another penny on his contract. The problem is that shifting over $18 million in salary could affect the price teams are willing to pay. However, if they
1.) can find a team looking for a QB, the equation shifts back to the Browns. As a salary dump, $18 million is a lot. However, that is an incredible value for a starting QB, even if just for one year.
2.) The Browns could potentially sweeten the deal. They could pay Mayfield a lump sum as a signing bonus prior to the trade. That would reduce the cap number being taken on by the team trading for Mayfield, potentially increasing the price they are willing to pay. However, the acquiring team could plan to sign Mayfield to an immediate extension or restructure the deal to add void years, essentially doing the same thing.
3.) Brock Osweiller route and kick in a draft pick just to get his money off the books

I don't know....I keep coming back to this option and asking myself? Why was OBJ/ and his agent, business adult enough to hammer out... a get out of town deal? And Baker's agent just seems to not have a clue nor the class about this dirty business he signed up for ? ? Do some teams still feel the QB trading market stopped at a undecided Jimmy G deal?
meanwhile, I thought the Haslam's handled the Baker questions great yesterday...I think they are willing to give Baker every option but Pittsburgh, to be at a teams training camp day 1..

"meanwhile, I thought the Haslam's handled the Baker questions great yesterday."

The thing is, Belichick was right.
Kosar had two prime, really good seasons. By the third AFC Championship vs Denver, he was already on the downslide.
Damn shame he got beat up so fast.

The USFL and XFL need QB's. Let him work his way back to the show. No more commercials. Bakey Littlefield.

Bitching about commercials is one of the stupidest complaints any Browns fan has ever made. Anybody that knows his ass from a hole in the crowd knows how little time it takes to slap one of those together. Less time I would wager than coercing a massage therapist to suck your dick.

Sorry the decision to play Mayfield falls on the shoulders of Stefanski.
Regarding Mayfield’s future, that fiasco falls on Berry, trying to play both sides of the road.
Kind of like getting caught in bed with the sister in law, now he’s going to have to “eat it” (no pun intended).
Sorry, you really think Stef would have played Baker if he had told him "nope, I'm too hurt"? Of course, that wasn't going to happen. Baker would have tried to play on a broken leg.
Yeah, the other side of the coin is the Browns were deliberately trotting out a wounded Mayfield because they had already determined even a healthy Baker wasn't going to be good enough.

If Kevin was any kind of a HC, it wouldn’t matter what a player said.
If the coach tells you to sit out a game(s) that’s the end of the story regardless of what a player says.
I can’t make it any simpler than that.

Ex-Browns Star Shares Baker Mayfield Details: NFL World Reacts
https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/ex-browns-star-shares-baker-mayfield-details-nfl-world-reacts
Former Browns left tackle Joe Thomas thinks Baker Mayfield might’ve found himself on the outside looking in, in Cleveland by overplaying his hand.
Speaking on. his “The Thom & Hawk Football Show,” the 10-time Pro Bowler laid out where thought Baker went wrong.
“Baker said ‘I’m not playing for you guys anymore, I’m not coming back,'” Thomas explained. “Which the interesting thing is that to me, it seemed like Baker overplayed his hand a little bit… At that moment, the Browns were out of the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes.”
“And it seemed by all accounts that they were ready to do what it took to smooth things over with Baker,” the all-decade lineman continued. “… Because they offered him a $30 million contract last season. He said, ‘No, I’m going to continue to play under this contract I think I’m worth more.”
Thomas went on to lay out how Mayfield had the team backed into a corner and could’ve pushed for a further commitment from Cleveland’s front office.
NFL fans reacted to Thomas’ commentary on Twitter.
“Big Yikes,” replied one user
“Joe destroys so many narratives here, but Browns fans will continue to think they know more than people like Joe and MKC,” commented one fan.
“Joe casually dropping in that Browns had a contract offer last year to Mayfield for $30M a year,” said another.
“Baker bros not gonna like this. Him turning down $30 m a year just to have that szn is hilarious,” laughed another user.
Thomas says that Baker was offered a sizable deal from the Browns but turned it down, leaving many to wonder if he’ll regret that decision in the years to come.
Sounds like what Terrelle Pryor did.

Former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas said on his podcast with Andrew Hawkins earlier this week that Baker Mayfield turned down a long-term contract extension with the franchise worth $30 million per year in 2021.
Citing a league source, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com said that report is "100 percent false" and "totally erroneous."
