Before we get to the off season / silly season, can we all just agree that neither Aaron Rodgers nor Russell Wilson are coming to Cleveland? What other "top tier" QB would we replace Baker Mayfield with? Matt Ryan? But is he really still top tier? I don't think he is. Baker was better than Ryan last year, and pretty close to the same this year. In 2021 Ryan has a higher TD % and QBR, but Mayfield has a lower Int % and higher QB Rate. I think its apparent that Ryan has slipped into the middle tier of NFL QBs, which is also where I put Mayfield. Ryan is going to be 38 yrs old next May and on the downside of his career, IMO. Baker will be 27, with his ceiling - whatever it is - still well within reach, again IMO.

Point being, I am not interested in any exchange of middle tier QBs, not Ryan and not Garoppolo, because I think Baker's ceiling is higher than anyone with whom we could reasonably expect to get to replace him.
