If you can't find a trade, you keep Baker. If Baker wants out so badly, let him waive his $19M?? If not, Browns keep him until a trade value comes or if Watson gets suspended, you play Baker. Baker would have a chance to play on a very good Browns team (likely much better than any team he'll sign with), show the entire league he IS a good QB and that last year was just injuries…if he plays well he creates a market and a trade will happen and he'll sign a nice extension with his new team. If he doesn't play well or acts like a baby and refuses to play, then he'll cost himself tens of millions of dollars as he sits out the balance of 2022 and no team will want to sign him to a big contract. Baker should be chomping at the bit to get an opportunity to show he is still a good QB. But paying him and releasing him?? That is just stupid talk!!
I wouldn't pay any of his salary for a trade, worst case scenario is that you hold on to him until the trade deadline. But I would not pay for him to play for another team. If it came down to paying to play for someone else, then I would just keep for insurance, just in case Deshaun or Jacoby gets hurt. I would start or play him; I would just keep him as the 3rd string QB and don't let him dress for any games.
AB has been cutting a ton of players this season (7 at last count if you include OBJ) so of course he will cut Baker if he gets no viable offers-and so far he has Jackshit for Baker!
The heck with Baker. Skip is feeling sorry for him. For What? He is guaranteed the almost $19 Million. Myself and others could easily go into retirement with almost $19 million. No I don’t feel sorry for Baker. Let him sit it out at home. He wins either way. If a team feels that they need him in the course of this Season they will come calling for him and the Browns can recoup some if not all of their money back. If Baker wants to play so bad for another team he can renegotiate his contract with the Browns to release him. Hope Jimmy Haslam uses his great business sense here. Others would have him throw away $19 million like it was chump change. Jimmy is smarter then that.

No team should listen to Skip

Skip doesn’t know much about anything. 😂
We're not stuck. Wait for someone to need a QB, then trade him. It'll happen.

He also said. Browns were delusional pursuing Deshaun Watson. Browns had no chance.
Browns fans are clowns

Skip's arrogance is astonishing. He's demanding what we should do. 🤣
I'll be very surprised if the Browns release him and then have no control over where he goes.
skips favorite QBs all time …Tim Tebow…Jonny Manziel….and Baker mayfield 👀 😳
Nonsense
