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

[DFWJC]

maybe one of

Colts?
Saints?
Texans?
Seahawks?
Panthers?

certainly not a backup in Dallas. That seems almost borderline the least places he would go

 

[KJJ]

Your description of Dak’s “achievements “ is comical . Low expectations and standards usually do that . Enjoy your elite Dak LOL

You don’t like him we get it!

 

[Captain-Crash]

if he can read a defense and doesn't go into complete shock when pressured, he'd be an upgrade.

 

[Bullflop]

Mayfield joining the Cowboys could be entertaining, but there's no way this FO would consider it. The cost, alone, w/b prohibitive!

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Looks like he’s heading to Houston.

 

[Starforever]

He can be the QB of the new USFL team in Dallas, the Also Rans. Colors, topaz and dirty green, with a stickman on the helmet.

…. 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.

I'll take him as a starter................

Certainly a healthy Baker Mayfield is better than Dak . Has more edge and poise . We saw him head to head against Dak in dallas 2 years ago .He led the browns to an easy win here .

Shhhh, Dak is still God to some around here. Even when he plays like a coked up past his prime Donovan McNabb.

 

[kumizi]

Lmao he’s not accepting a backup role in the last year of his rookie contract. Some QB needy team will be happy to gamble on him as a starter.

 

[Jarntt]

Baker stinks. As a cheap backup, of course but I think this is more a loaded agenda question than something serious and I don’t think Baker wants to go somewhere for cheap to sit behind a QB like Dak who is obviously better than him

 

[Cmac]

You honestly think Jerry wants to create competition for Dak? The golden boy who we bet the future on? Jerry would rather tank the next 3 years.

Competition???......Baker about to be humbled, once and for all, if Cleveland has the guts.

So few people seem to realize he is guaranteed 19 million next year. The Browns are going to have to trade him to someone willing to pay that because otherwise they have to. There is no way the Cowboys would want a 19 million dollar backup.

You nailed it .

Baker will do great with the colts or saints , you watch . At Cleveland he helped turn that franchise around . He played injured last season which was a mistake . He has lots of mixie and is a winner

 

[Bullflop]

I really like Baker Mayfield -- he's great about cleaning the grandstands and working at the hot dog stand.

and with Dak leaving after 2024, it makes sense to look at a trade next year.

he’s shown flashes but has been inconsistent. He’s played through injuries which is admirable but it’s not enough. He’s got one more chance to be a starter on another team but it’s done after that

Yes he has to play well this season or he is done .

 

[Captain-Crash]

are his fans crying about his offensive line, the defense, the offensive coordinator, the head coach, and the gm?
naw only one guy gets all these excuses and needs the whole team to be elite players to win crap. jimmy johnson said it best, "dak sucks and they are not enough elite players in the NFL to carry him".

There’s at least one fool acting like Baker Mayfield never had any talent to work with in Cleveland and that he would flourish with the Cowboys. LOL He had a two headed monster at RB with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. He had OBJ who had a 1000 yard season with him. Cleveland had enough talent to beat the crap out of the Cowboys in 2020 and lead the Browns to the playoffs. The biggest problem with the Browns was Mayfield and they just addressed it. No team uses three first round draft picks and then some on a QB if they don’t think QB is their biggest problem. QB has been a problem for Cleveland for decades. They’ve used 2 number one overall picks on QBs over the years and neither saw a second contract.
