Twitter: Would you sign Baker Mayfield as a backup if he accepts role and is cheap?

[Flamma]

would be an interesting trade…

3 more seasons of Dak. He’s UFA/no tag after 2024.

next year we have to look for a QB.

why not go early?

I'm going to give you some sobering info. No chance Dak is gone in 2024, or after 2024. He's getting another contract restructure next year. This isn't even debatable. It's a done deal. Then a contract extension after 2023. So we're stuck with Dak for quite some time. Lets hope he steps it up. I'm not a fan BTW.

…. Definitely sounds like he thinks the Browns will go with Watson. There was a time when he was much more promising, and I have a hard time holding last year against him with all those injuries. Get some competition in there for Dak! Even Aikman was challenged up until the Super Bowl win.

his goal is to get to Indy, because they are QB needy. I don't think he is at a point in his career he wants to be a back up

 

[MarcusRock]

Mayfield is not accepting a backup role. He'll emerge as a starter someplace else if this all happens with Watson and he's allowed to depart.

Watson has a no trade clause, so he has to be on board with it. Does anyone think Cleveland is his preferred destination?

As for Mayfield, I'll pass. We'll have Oklahoma fan boys declaring the Cowboys SB champs.

No

Where? He may not accept a backup role but what has he done that proves he deserves to be a starter?

If Cleveland jettisons Mayfield - he will be looking for a starting gig in the league.
Dallas is not an option for him.

 

[Reid1boys]

if the browns trade for Watson, you don't think Houston would get Baker?

no, the kid they played last year is their starter moving forward. He played well amd they are giving him a shot.

 

[Rack]

Mayfield and Dak are the same crappy player. No thanks.

 

[noshame]

Only if we hire a legit QB coach, which we need anyway

 

[jazzcat22]

I'm not sure Houston's current quarterback isn't as good as baker.

Yeah I was just thinning, they may like that Mills guy better.

 

[jazzcat22]

I think the Browns problem is part on the OC. I don't recall them ever having a pass attempt less than 15 yards. Can't win like that.
Put Baker in a check down normal offense, for when needed, he could be better.

 

[visionary]

No
He and Dak are the same

 

[IceStar-D7]

One word? NO!

 

[jnday]

There’s fools here who wouldn’t mind him as our starter.

He has led the Browns to the same number of Super Bowls as Dak has led the Cowboys to and he is much, much cheaper.

Great point!

 

[CouchCoach]

Is he going to willingly fall to a backup role with many teams still needing a #1?

 

[Kumbaya]

Cheap? Good luck with that. There are plenty of teams who still need a starting qb….mine possibly being one of them. Sorry, but you aren’t getting him for 2 M…..nice thought though.

k

 

[charron]

Why wouldn't you if those 2 things are true? but its more likely he finds a starting gig somewhere.

His life’s mission is to be the best thrower at a backyard bbq. Not getting hit by guys twice his size
