AND he was just paid a ton of money to not work for a year. Watson had a no trade clause in his contract meaning he could block any trade to a team he didn’t want to go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Baker's only real power in this scenario is to say out loud what he wants. He doesn't have any protections written into his contract, so his statements mean he is more likely to resign with the Colts than elsewhere. If that matters. It also decreases his trade value which hurts the Browns and helps whatever team he goes to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHONUFF Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I doubt sitting a year would hurt Mayfield reputation at all. Look at Watson, he may or may not have sexually assaulted 22 women sat a year and came out aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I feel like only the Jaguars and Browns could be reliably counted on as organizations, to produce this kind of debacle on such short notice. So kudos to them for following through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Its in the Browns interest to make Baker happy in his destination. He can sign an extension and be worth more to the new team. If he is unhappy then he could do 5th year and a tag or two and then that team is out a QB that they want. They don't have to turn the process over to him (which happened with Watson) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
