Mike030270 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes. He showed last season if you build around him he can take you to the playoffs and win a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleJoe8 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I believe US labor laws forbid not paying him as long as he remains employed by the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I don't think i would. He's going to want a very very good deal and I'm not sure he's a very very good QB. But hey he's not bad either and in the NFL you either have your QB or you don't. If they don't pay him they don't have a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yes. Pay his paycheck. He's earned his salary. But should he get a huge extension? The Browns have turned themselves into a juggernaut where they don't need a game-breaking QB. They need a guy who can complement their weapons and protect the ball. Mayfield is good enough for now. I think the Browns have to pay his option through next season, then they make a decision. Is Baker the future of the franchise, or can they win with any decent QB in FA/draft? This could help Baker too because he can add to his resume, making his plea for a bigger contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SB52 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Anything under $20 million per year makes sense. He probably wouldn’t accept it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 All I know is, they don’t pay him enough for those At Home With Baker Mayfield commercials. Plus I think it’s sweet they include his mom in them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain F Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 74% passer 102 rating only 2 TDs though to match his 2 INTs On pace for 4800 yards Last years stat line 62.8 3,563 26td 8 int 95.9 Puts him in the Tannehill/Carr level of QB's. He should get paid tier 2 QB money, but will likely get top 5 Money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihailo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Basically any serviceable QB no matter how great would get top 5 money. He is serviceable, Browns are a dominating force, they probably should capitalize on that while it is still intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, since you're a game show fan there are three doors: Door #1) Extend him, pay him whatever he wants, maybe top-5 money. I think Howie showed that even if you pay a guy that you can trade him and make the money work. Not the end of the world if you pay him and he doesn't work out well. Door #2) Play out his rookie contract and then move forward. Not a bad plan, but who's the QB then? Lots of QB needy teams out there and there's not a lot of starting caliber QBs. Door #3) "Kirk Cousins" - don't pay him. Franchise him for a few years, then eventually move on. Kind of like QB purgatory, but not bad if you aren't convinced and you want to push it down the road a few years. What door do you pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 10 hours ago, What The F said: 3 because he is a Kirk Cousins type QB... I mean Kirk Coupons should never have been given the tag... If ever there was a QB unworthy of the tag it is him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually plan to replace your QB it's not a terrible option. Franchise tag for a few years, develop the backup, move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman#12 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Browns look like they have finally righted the ship with hiring of Stefansky. Mayfield had a good year last year and Stefansky uses the run game well. So, from an organizational standpoint, they have a QB who is not being asked to do it all, and with Mayfield and Stefansky, the Browns are 14-6 with a playoff win over their hated rival, the steelers. Is it worth it for the Browns to go back to QB hell, trying to find the "next guy"......especially after they struggled for YEARS trying to find a QB for 20+ years? What is the value of having a good QB that is productive and the team wins under him? Mayfield can make his case better if they get to the playoffs again and makes a hard run for a super bowl. Should the Browns pay him? They have this year and next to evaluate him more.....but if Mayfield gets them to the playoffs and either makes a deep run or wins a super bowl, yes, they should pay him.....If they stumble into the playoffs and lose early, then the Browns should take all next year to consider his extension.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I don't think you pay Mayfield to do what other QBs can do. The Browns want to run the ball, control possession and then they ask Mayfield to boot leg and push the ball down field. I'm not saying any QB could do it but I don't think you pay him top $ to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
