I think its been proven that if we keep Baker we will get a 3rd round compensation pick. So I don't see us trading Baker for a 3rd round pick or less when that is what we got doing nothing. Either way Baker gets his money and most likely we will be paying for it.

I was hoping someone would verify this - I have seen it written that we WON'T get a Comp pick if Baker doesn't play.
I don't know so I have to relay on what I google and find to be accurate - but here it is:
https://factoryofsadness.co/2022/05...ield-during-the-regular-season-busted/3/The whole “just wait until he signs elsewhere in 2023 and the Browns get a 3rd round pick” crowd is not going to like this part. If the Browns keep Mayfield, and he goes into free agency in 2023 having not played a single snap of the football in 2022, the Browns aren’t getting a third-round pick for Mayfield.
Not a lot else out there. I don't know if his playing time makes a difference. I think the number of free agents we lose (vs how many we sign?) and the contract they sign with another team all are factors.
