11 NFL Teams Named Potential Suitors For Baker Mayfield

July 4, 2022 by The Spun

When it comes to Baker Mayfield’s potential landing spots, most of the conversation has centered around two teams: the Panthers and the Seahawks.

However, over the weekend, Mike Florio of NBC’s Pro Football Talk took some time to share 9 other teams that he believes would be served well by at least taking a look at the former No. 1 overall pick.

Including a division rival.

1. The Browns

If Judge Sue L. Robinson decides that Deshaun Watson should miss the entire season, or if on appeal the Commissioner makes that ruling, the Browns will need a quarterback for all of 2022. Mayfield makes the most sense, on paper. Unfortunately, the bridge between Baker and the Browns has been obliterated. The only way to mend fences would be for the Browns to offer him more money and an unimpeded path to the open market in 2023. Even then, it’s probably not enough.

2. The Steelers

When the Steelers made quarterback Kenny Pickett the 20th overall pick in the draft, the door seemingly slammed on the possibility of Mayfield making a beeline to the ‘Burgh if he’s ultimately cut by the Browns. But with Pickett by all appearances not ready to play, isn’t Mayfield (if healthy) a better option than Mitch Trubisky? Mayfield definitely is. And while that would be an intriguing answer for 2022, it could throw a wrench in the plans for 2023, if the Steelers have a great year with Mayfield. Some would call that a good problem to have.

3. The Falcons

Baker Mayfield is a better option than Marcus Mariota. Maybe the Falcons will come to terms with that during the slow weeks. Maybe they’ll realize that it won’t get any easier to get people to buy tickets and attend games absent a quarterback who plays well enough to make an NFC South also-ran into a potential contender.

Check out the rest of the teams Mike Florio pointed out here.
