If Cleveland wins a Super Bowl I'd be doggoned happy. Surprised, but doggoned happy.

(Las Vegas, by the way, increased the odds of the Browns winning the SB in 2022 from 40-1 to 20-1 with Watson's signing).

It's obvious the front office is going for broke with the running game pretty much in tact and pass rusher Myles Garrett still under contract.

But sheee-it, for one guy they gave up A LOT and they're paying A LOT.

IMO Mayfield is a serviceable QB. Give him a healthy running game and pass protection, field a decent defense with a deep bench, and he can win a Super Bowl. Those picks they gave away could have helped build that deeper, stronger team, just like the two picks they gave up for Beckham a few years ago, two of which could be solid, veteran line players the Browns so desperately need right now.

I predict this, like the Beckham deal, will bite them in the ass. Could be through injury, a weak roster, a suspension, internal squabbling, felony ... who knows (the Browns are masters at finding new ways to screw up).

What do you think True Dough?

The Colts just acquired Matt Ryan from the Falcons in a trade, so probably not. Angleae Mar 2022 #18

True, Baker is highly unlikely to land in Indy now True Dough Mar 2022 #19

I think the Browns are going to hold on to him just in case Watson can't play. Angleae Mar 2022 #20

Who knows if Baker will even agree to play for Cleveland True Dough Mar 2022 #21
