Yeah, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game in your first year under a new HC sucks. Unless of course you wish to pretend that his injury didn't have a huge impact last season. Which seems to be a rather popular theme. He turned a dumpster fire into a playoff winning team. The FO gave up all of its bargaining power and put itself in this position and people wish to blame Baker for that too.
Nobody needs to give you the farm for a player they know you have to unload because of your own doing. But I know, ignore all of that and blame Baker for it.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
I do wish him well but I am glad that this drama is over.
oh, you do overestimate this place
I'm surprised the compensation is so low. For reals.... a conditional 2024 pick?? Well, week 1 will be drama filled, and it'll be interesting to see what he can garner as a free agent next offseason.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
Some on here over valued Mayfield .predicted he would Be traded for a 2nd RD pick . Sorry just cause you win a playoff game doesn't make you Worth a 2nd RD pick
Last season was rough for Baker and all us fans but overall I thought he played pretty well here in Cleveland and gave us something to believe in, at least for a little while. I wish him well, unless he's playing against the Browns.
The chip on his shoulder at this point probably has its own gravitational pull.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Which would have ranked 12th last (2021) year just ahead of Teddy Bridgetwater and behind Justin Herbert.
His best year was average last year. Something obviously happened in the locker room, there is absolutely no question about that. His crybaby antics, calling out the fans in pressers, having his wife complaining about fans and the team on twitter.
Leading men and boys is just not the same thing, we see it all the time in the NFL. I thank him for his efforts they were the most fun i've had as a Browns fan since I can remember.
He's a poor mans Ryan Fitzpatrick with a social media problem.
Good luck Baker. You gave it your all In Cleveland. You embrased the fans and the city. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you or the Cleveland fans. I wish you the best of luck in the future. You deserve it bud.
As a Browns fan - hard to understand that the guy who came in and helped turned a 1-31 team around thru much adversity doesn't get the same measure of respect from everyone. Nice, classy post GM.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Well - it was you that first mentioned and brought up Baker in the 'Back to Football' thread (to explain to everyone how mediocre/bad he is) and then several pages later you asked why people were talking about Baker and said it was the usual suspects that introduced him to that thread ... when it was you. And here your comment was that we paid someone to take him off our hands, implying again that he is not a good QB. The reality is that everyone (and I mean everyone) has acknowledged the Browns were always going to have to pay $8-10 million of his contract. . . .
Because of the timing Wentz was traded for two 3rd round picks. Do you think Wentz is better, worse or about the same as a starting QB in the NFL (when both are healthy)? That right there might shed some light on whether the Browns got value for the QB you claim was always going to be off the team after game 17 last season.

I don't know, but the $10.5 million is a real thing. We basically paid to get him off the team.
I read Baker accepted 3.5 mill less this year. Panthers sold it as a chance to show what he could do. Also saw the pick was a conditional 4th, so maybe 4 is best, 5th worst case scenario.

I haven't seen or heard anything about a conditional 4th rounder.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Everyone has a brighter future than the browns. Happy about your future with a qb likely suspended for the year, with his despicable behavior? You are sad.
If the browns do somehow eventually win with DW it will be with a disgusting stain. Glad you’ll be able stomach it.

Somehow, those who attack long-time Browns fans have no problem w/this guy's continued insults directed towards our team and fans.
No . In fact I expect Baker to have a good year Huge weight off his shoulders .fresh start . He isn't under pressure to carry the offense Now he is playing for a coach that is in a win now mode If Carolina can have success on the ground Then Mayfield can thrive But Mayfield can't carry the offense

You can call it an attack, an insult, or whatever else you like, but it’s the truth. Sorry that stings. I’d rather go down in flames with baker than sell my soul to win football games.

are you a fan of the team, or just baker as your name suggest?
