The Cleveland Browns made a mistake with Baker Mayfield, and Shedeur Sanders could suffer the consequences

Article arrow_drop_down

Throughout NFL history, one of the teams that has made the most mistakes is the Cleveland Browns. That’s why they are considered one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league’s history-and the present is no exception. In the recent Draft, they selected two quarterbacks-yes, two: one of them being Dillon Gabriel and the other Shedeur Sanders.

Joe Flacco throws an interception at Browns OTAs as all eyes turn to Shedeur Sanders

Well, the Cleveland Browns could have used one of those two picks to select a wide receiver, which is something they clearly need right now. Outside of Jerry Jeudy, they practically have no one to catch passes. Now they face a four-way quarterback battle for the Browns’ starting job, and the one who appears to have the edge is Joe Flacco.

One of the biggest mistakes in Cleveland Browns history wasn’t that long ago-it was the case of Baker Mayfield. After being the first overall pick in the 2018 Draft, he led the Browns to their first playoff win in 26 years just two years later. But after a bad season, Cleveland traded him to the Panthers to sign-yes-Deshaun Watson.

Why Did Shedeur Sanders Slide All the Way to the Fifth Round?

Baker Mayfield has had his ups and downs since the Browns

Letting go of Baker Mayfield was to give Deshaun Watson a five-year, $230 million contract. In three years, he has only played 19 games-a complete disaster. And the truth is, even though he’s still with the franchise, it’s highly unlikely he’ll play for the Browns again.

Mayfield has sparked divided opinions. For example, NFL analyst Matthew Freedman said the Browns mishandled the Baker Mayfield situation:

“They had a franchise quarterback. They selected him No. 1 overall. They made the playoffs with him still on his rookie contract. And they traded him for nothing. Incredibly poor management.”

But not everyone agrees. Analyst Marcus Mosher believes Mayfield is a much better quarterback today than the one the Browns let go of three years ago:

“The trade for Deshaun Watson was a mistake from every angle. But Baker Mayfield was a very average quarterback in Cleveland and then bounced around the league. I still don’t think he’s a top-10 QB in the NFL, so it’s not like the Browns lost a true franchise-changing quarterback.”

What is certain is that Baker Mayfield is coming off a season where he threw for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns with a 71.4% completion rate, setting records with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meanwhile, everything is uncertain with the Cleveland Browns-they still don’t know what will happen at the quarterback position.

Bryce Harper injury: Phillies slugger lands on 10-day injured list with inflammation in right wrist

Getty Images The Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday placed All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list with inflammation in his right wrist. As part of a series of moves, the Phillies selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Otto Kemp to, in essence, take Harper's spot on the active roster. Harper has been bothered by the wrist for some time, and he wasn't in the Phillies' lineup on Friday. While Harper has been productive in this, his age-32 season, he hasn't been quite up to his usual standards, particularly in terms of power output. In 57 games this year, he's slashed .258/.368/.446 (126 OPS+) with nine home runs, 13 doubles, and 33 unintentional walks. To state the obvious, the loss of Harper's on-base and count-working abilities is a blow to a Philly offense that's quite top-heavy and doesn't boast much lineup […]
