He's interesting.  But old Matt Ryan - outdoors in the AFCN - might not be any better than Mayfield.

If he can get them to the 2023 draft, I'd be fine with it.

Adults in both the front office and the QB room!  The running of mouths has ruined leverages!

Where's Frank Ryan when you need him.

He’s still kickin’ at 85.

You watched Baker this year, right?

Browns are so good at dominating the off season headlines.

Browns are so good at dominating the off season headlines.

If I'm Amari Cooper I'm thinking "what kind of shit show am I walking into?"

Saw a quote from a competing front office member that said "For a bunch of Ivy League guys, they never seem to handle things intelligently."

This thing has been botched from both sides. Granted, the Browns supposedly told Mayfield they'd look to upgrade if a stud QB became available. Not good. 

Mayfield's reaction yesterday was one of a petulant child. Ok, you want traded. Ask Berry behind closed doors, not demand it through Adam Schefter. I've been a Baker guy but this tells me even if he were to bounce back he doesn't have the maturity to lead a franchise.

Meanwhile, they're playing with their junk as free agents are getting signed right & left. Bengals, Steelers and Ravens all have made some decent upgrades.

I'm merely saying Matt Ryan hasn't been the Matt Ryan people are thinking of for a few years.  And, he's been significantly better playing in domes.

So, yeah, I don't think he's much of an upgrade to Baker.  That said, I'd love to see CLE sign him!

Ryan will likely end up in Indy

Sounds like this has been brewing for a while. Guess the Browns have been pissed for some time that every time they'd have a private meeting with Mayfield that the information soon became public through the media.

Adam Schefter

@AdamSchefter

Browns are giving Deshaun Watson a new deal, per sources. The $184M over the first four years of this contract is a $48M raise over the $136M he was scheduled to make over the same four years on the previous contract - a $12M a-year raise in that span.

How does a team go from "out of it" to the team he chooses? With this contract, if this backfires, they're fucked. A lot of money for a 22x rapist.

If the deal approaches what had been thrown around earlier, it's still WAY too much.

Actually 230 million. Way too much.

I bet he's suspended the full year.

Better, but I recall seeing something about three ones and a two? No, just no. Don't care if he was a choirboy.

It's good to see they have a legit QB, even though I feel like I need a shower after hearing this news, but dude's going to need some weapons.

Probably not done massaging the numbers yet.

Hopefully Browns fans will be getting a happy ending.
