Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[Los216]

I know I have mentioned this before but as the days go by and no Baker deal in place, is Berry and Co. waiting to see the Watson outcome with the small possibility of Baker returning during his suspension?

No.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Seahawks "have never really been that interested" in QB Baker Mayfield.​

"I've heard nothing to corroborate Baker to the Seahawks at all," Rapoport told The Pat McAfee show. Well, that's a direct counterstrike to our last couple of blurbs linking Baker to the Seahawks. Seattle's Drew Lock/Geno Smith quarterback battle doesn't seem likely to yield much fantasy wise this year, yet they seem fairly committed to it. If the Seahawks aren't interested in Mayfield, that would seemingly leave only the Panthers in. It remains possible -- if not likely at this moment -- that cooler heads will prevail and that the Browns will start Mayfield while Deshaun Watson is suspended.

Didn’t this same guy say a deal was about to be announced last week? Throwing shit at the wall

Maybe he needs to get a toilet so he doesn't have to keep throwing his shit?

I'd say basically everyone in Seattle is under the gun too, and the team could easily clean house next spring and hire an all new staff.

Right. That whole team could get nuked now that Russell Wilson isn't there to help cover up their coaching deficiencies.

Seems about right. A bit surprised Mayfield took a paycut. I'd guess that Panthers were unwilling to move off paying ~$5M, and the Browns told Mayfield's agent, "we can get this done if you give back $3.5M." Mayfield saw the light, good for everyone.

Thank you Baker.

We live in NC and seemingly can't escape this guy . Happy about the return though.

Hopefully Carolina won't tie themselves in knots arguing between mediocre, slightly above mediocre or the product of an organization which makes him look mediocre.

Godspeed to them, and this thread.
