The only rational for Mayfield

Unless they include Darnold in any trade, then it is not rational. I hope Darnold well and being a multi-millionaire at 25, it's hard to feel sorry for him.

Bring Baker in as a starter this year and groom M.C behind him. Baker on a short deal and that's it. 

I do not like him for his cry baby sh%t and his teammates didn't seem to care for him either.

Seems like they are determined to do this, then so be it. Send Robbie along for good measure.

They want a Vet ahead of M.C then you got ur vet....like him or not.

No one is taking Darnold.  If Baker came for free, they could just release Darnold and the effect is the same as swapping.  Its why they are trying to get the compensation as low as possible for Baker.  Baker takes QB1, Corral QB2, Darnold is released or PS.  Its an upgrade at QB, but people will see Baker ain't all that when he's not behind one of the best lines in the NFL with top a 5 run game and surrounded by weapons.  He will not play as well here.

Having two QBs on the roster making 18M+ would be sad. 

When it's all said and done they will have about 30+ million (that includes Darnold's salary to hit the street) in Mayfield for one season of drama and maybe 1 or 2 more wins.

Already been reported that's a "no" from the Browns...

Picking nits...

The report from PFT indicated that a deal involving Darnold was "very unlikely". That's not a "No". Coming from Cleveland, it sounds like any deal including Darnold would have to include more to make the medicine go down. Be happy to toss in Robbie (Robby?) and any OLineman named "Elflein" or "Erving" if they so desire.

Whomever thinks Mayfield is a competent starting QB, doesn't understand the intangibles that a starting QB should have. 

Sad thing is,  Sam has more intangibles than Mayfield. 

This might be true. Sam is bigger and has a great arm. He can move a bit also. Its his mental game that is failing him. I have not seen enough of Baker to know if his mental game is superior enough to give up anything in a trade for him. Based on what I have seen and heard, I'm not thrilled about the possibility of losing draft capital or too much cap space for him.

I am not saying he is, but the front office believes he is (I guess).  If they want to go down that rabbit hole, then Donald and Anderson should be in the mix also. They can't have Donald and Mayfield both...  makes little sense to me. If the Browns won't have him, then what they gonna do?

 

Cut him I guess. 

Anderson has turned into a pain in the ass who isn't worth the grief. If he was a top shelf WR,that would be a different story. E.G.: Steve Smith sr.

I think everyone needs to acknowledge Baker is better than Darnold. He is being severely underrated on this board. It's like it was with Cam, the media portraying selfish and not a good teammate. His teammates love him, look at Bitonio saying he is still his guy. He got hurt week 2 and battled through. Won a playoff game the year before. I'd prefer Corral to start over Darnold, but if we can give up minimal for Baker, I think it is a no brainer since the rest of the roster is improved.

Not sure I agree there. Mayfield has much better composure than Sam.

Baker>Darnold  Its just hard to say how much.  Baker has played behind an elite OL with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in the backfield.  Baker is not going to perform better here.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
