Procus Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Browns get a 5th, Panthers pick up half his salary. A win win for all involved. Mayfield gets out of Cleveland. The Browns move on from the drama and get a team to eat half his salary, and the Panthers get an upgrade at QB. https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-trading-baker-mayfield-to-panthers-for-2024-conditional-fifth-round-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochis_Calhoun Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Mayfield and Darnold both playing on a 5th year option, I'll never understand why Carolina activated Darnold's option rather than just negotiating a cheap extension with performance escalators or renegotiation clause if he exceeded specific targets, it wasn't like Darnold had tons of options.

If there ever was a time for karma to kick the Saints in the butt and they go 0-17. it's this year. May they go winless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Hurts somewhat improved and the Eagles got a playoff spot again, you couldn't pass on the top QB in the draft who has a higher ceiling than Hurts.

VaBeach_Eagle Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Wasn't he 'offended' that Hue Jackson took a job with another team after being fired by the Browns? Shouldn't Mayfield now retire, rather than play for another team, rather than 'offend' Football by playing in another uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that whoever is chosen immediately after the Eagles first round pick will be viewed by the majority of the Eagles fan base as being a sure thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I think this is a pretty good move for both sides. Fairly cheap trade value and Baker lands with a pretty good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
