Again with the crazy scenarios. Just live with it, you are going to have to deal with him for the next 5-10 years in CLE….GL
Bleacher report. Need a better source. It’s unknown what his suspension will be but my guess 6-17. Pretty sure they got him for the long haul. Will a full season suck, sure but if Jeffrey Kessler is getting involved he could push for little discipline. I’m taking the average, half a season but we will see. Anything beyond a year is wishing to hit the jackpot for fans though, mainly AFCN fans. I dont blame you, I would be doing the same. The Browns finally have a QB and we have to deal with this BS
Yeah sure looks like a full season suspension will happen. I wonder if they are looking at Watson contract and thinking how bad it looks that he's only losing 1 million of a 230 million fully guarantees contract even though he gets suspended for the season and how it looks to have Watson game the system like that. I got to wonder if the exempt list is being considered with a suspension next season if he loses any of these cases filed against him.
Sorry coach my back is out, sprained my ankle, think I pulled my hammy, shoulder that I had surgery on is hurting and stiff don't think I can go...
Baker’s gotta think about his next contract. If his last good year going into the 2023 season is 2020 and he’s been whiny and injured the past two years and lacking leadership, his next contract will be garbage - if he even gets one.
Watson won't and didn't play last season at all, also he might not play this season. Baker isn't Watson but he played decent in 2020 and injured shoulder last season. He's going to want to screw the Browns back for what he feels was unjust and the best way to do that is force them to start Brissett and try to force the Browns to release him. Judging from his reactions once he heard the Browns were chasing after Watson I'm pretty confident he'll never play a snap for the Browns.
Question is how much he wants to screw himself in the process. Mutual interest goes a long way towards mending fences.
I don't think it screws Mayfield if he doesn't take a snap for the Browns and Watson is proof of that. Browns have already tanked his value , which is why no one is willing to trade for him. He'll need to prove him self playing for his next team.
Exactly - Mayfield's value is low. He can't bring his value back up by not playing.
Where do you get that he could have extended his contract after the 2020 season? Browns choose to do the fifth year option and as far as I can tell they didn't try to extend him. Just one more grievance Baker has with the Browns.
Seriously - I'm not worried about Watson's "game" as a QB - I'm tired of athletes living by a separate code getting away with cringy shit like this, murder, and everything else in-between that a "normal" person would be spending time in jail, out of work, and likely destitute from court/lawyer fees. I know more than a few Cleveland fans who feel the same way, including one who cancelled his season tickets (and he's not the only one from what I've read) - don't think they were "worried" about his product on the field.
Yes, and if I'm a GM looking at signing Mayfield I'd fully understand him not wanting to ever play another snap for the Browns. Hell he could go out play one snap and have a major injury, for a team that wants nothing to do with him.
Exactly, why in the hell risk a injury to save the Browns when they only want to use you up and discard you.
ESPN's Dan Graziano:
Opinion piece speculating what the cost of a extension would cost the Browns. You got a link that shows Mayfield wasn't interested in an extension?
Maybe. But sure looks to me like they need each other this year.
I don't think Mayfield wants to give then a nanosecond of his time.
