Baker to Carolina

and having an experienced quarterback not named DW or BM might come in very handy for Cleveland.
The only way I see Garoppolo coming here is if we find out that Watson is suspended for the season, or at least most of the season. They didn't even want to pay Keenum's 6 mil for the backup QB spot. Remember, they've reworked the whole QB room to be Watson clones. JG doesn't seem to match their new tact. Having said that, if there's no Watson, then JG would be a better QB than our backups. He's a Baker level QB.

You don’t punt this upcoming season and run with jacoby Brissett. Way too much talent to do that.
If Jimmy G played in a super bowl. He’s not Watson but he can guide a team to a playoff especially a team with pieces like we have

The only thing going for Baker… he is the better arm talent.
Jimmy G is an improvement.
considering the media is going to suspend Watson for a year…brace yourself…I’d like a starting caliber QB with the talent we have

Oh yes. You'd like to have some kind of known talent at quarterback to start the regular season. Geezz even a planned talent there at preseason to start things off.
What a predicament to be in,

Yes the FO thought that they got a franchise quarterback with this big deal.
Instead they got a weirdo behind center.....no pun intended. This might take more time to resolve itself maybe even with some last minute deal.
Preseason starts August 4, regular season September 8, the clock is ticking.

San Fran is in a different situation than us. They drafted a qb#3 overall last year, and they are committed to him.
We have a Super Bowl quality roster and Colby fucking Briskett at QB because we just royally fucked up a scenario featuring two franchise qbs who may never play for us again, $240M and all of our important draft picks for three years.

It's all related to physics 101 somehow. ?

I'd be quite happy seeing him excused for the entire season.

SO now we sit and wait and hope somehow the legal process, which is always slow and methodical by design, can somehow rescue the BROWNS out of this abysmal contract they are in because it may be void or voidable.
(Briefly, Depending on the contract and the specific terms and conditions it includes, you may have the option to back out of the contract within a certain period of time.)
But good luck on that even after a possibly long court battle.

AND who do you hope will be the BROWNS starting quarterback week 1 ?
You must choose one :
A. Watson B. Brisset C. Mayfield D. Other (specify one)
GO 2022 BROWNS !
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

June 11, 2022 heavy.com (who?)
The Cleveland Browns are still looking for a trade partner willing to take on quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Minnesota Vikings have been mentioned as a possible landing spot for the former top pick.
The Vikings have Kirk Cousins installed as their current starter but there’s a new regime in town in Minnesota and his play hasn’t exactly made him untouchable. Dan Graziano of ESPN mentioned the Vikings as a possible player in the Mayfield sweepstakes, although it’d be more of a long-term play for the NFC North squad.
They’re set this season with Kirk Cousins but could move on from him after the year. This is an example of a place where Mayfield or Garoppolo wouldn’t start right away but could position himself as the team’s starter in 2023, the way Winston did with the Saints in 2020. That could be possible elsewhere, including with the Buccaneers, Eagles, Cardinals, Titans and Raiders.
-
Cousins is coming off a year where he was named to the Pro Bowl as a replacement. He completed 66.3% of his passes last season for 4,221 yards and 33 touchdowns to only seven interceptions. The Vikings extended Cousins for an additional year this offseason. He will make $40 million this season and $30 million in 2023.
Still, there are consistent questions about Cousins being a difference-maker, with the 33-year-old holding a career record of 59-59-2.
Other off the radar teams mentioned by Graziano as potential landing spots for Mayfield included the Lions and Saints.
Baker Mayfield Has Shown Potential as Starting Quarterback
Mayfield is coming off a down season but he’s shown his a potential starter in the NFL. He helped lead the Browns to their first playoff victory in 18 years back in 2020, passing for 3,563 yards, 26 touchdowns and just eight interceptions.
However, last year Mayfield took a step back, which could be attributed to a few different things including injuries and internal turmoil. He tossed 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as the Browns stumbled to an 8-9 finish.
Mayfield’s play was ugly at times but the Oklahoma-product was playing through a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. He suffered the injury in Week 2 while attempting a tackle after an interception and wore a brace on his shoulder following the injury. He had surgery this offseason and is expected to be ready to roll for training camp.
What has prevented a Mayfield trade from happening is his fully guaranteed near $19 million salary for next season. The Browns hold little leverage in negotiations but are trying to take on as little of that as possible, although other teams around the league are not willing to help with that.
The closest the Browns got to a deal was with the Panthers during the draft. However, Carolina wanted the Browns to pay more than $13 million of Mayfield’s contract, according to The Charlotte Observer.
The Browns excused Mayfield from mandatory minicamp June 14-16, which means he’ll avoid some hefty fines. If he had sat out without the team’s consent, he would have owed $15,900 for Day 1, $31,961 for Day 2 and $47,936 for Day 3........more at heavy.com......

“That was a decision made between our organization, Baker and Baker’s team. Felt like that was the best decision for both sides,”
told reporters during OTAs on June 8.Meanwhile, the Browns are still waiting for a sense of clarity on what will happen with Watson, who is facing a likely suspension from the league. But even if Watson is suspended a significant amount of time, Mayfield will not be sticking around to hold down the starting spot.
“He’s done with them, and they’re done with him,” a source told Graziano. “That was true once he found out they were trying to trade for Deshaun.”
