How in the HELL did the Bengals get blown out by Cleveland?

If Baker wants elite money, I'd tell him to take a hike; however, if Baker is willing to sign an extension at a cost lower than Mahomes/Watson type money, the Browns might be smart to do it since they struggle historically to maintain consistency at the QB position in the last decade +.

The Bengals will eventually figure out how to stop Baker so I'd be happy with him being a Brown for a long time. 

I'm hoping that the Browns hitch their cart to the Baker Mayfield horse. Doubly so if they end up paying him like a QB gets paid these days. It'll really hinder their ability to be a threat anytime soon. 

If the Browns were smart they would go for Rodgers, Wilson, or Watson if there is positive movement on his legal front. Barring getting a top-5 QB like those three, I would probably trade for Gardner Minshew. If even that wasn't an option, I guess I would sign Bridgewater or Mariota as a stop-gap but by then we're talking about option #5 and #6, but I would still do that over wasting another year on Mayfield.
