Browns Plainly Podcast

Option 4 in our Mayfield Matrix series is probably the least likely -- what if the Browns just went ahead and signed Baker Mayfield to a short extension? The model here is the three-year extension that Jacksonville a bit unexpectedly gave to Blake Bortles in February of 2018 as he was entering his fifth season. It showed faith in an inconsistent QB, though the Jags had just made the AFC Championship Game. It didn't work out long term. Bortles was benched in Year 5 and then let go.But compared to letting Mayfield ride out his fifth-year option in 2022, this would be a sign of faith.Doug Lesmerises, Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko, Dan Labbe and Ashley Bastock talk out this idea on the latest Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

On the third option in the Mayfield Matrix, our exercise looking at everything the Browns could do with Baker Mayfield and the QB position in 2022, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko, Doug Lesmerises and Mary Kay Cabot are here to ponder the draft. What if the Browns draft a quarterback in the second or third round to develop behind Mayfield, and maybe serve as another option in 2022 if needed?The model for this is what the Philadelphia Eagles did with Carson Wentz going into his fifth season in 2020, when the Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round. Unlike Mayfield, Wentz was signed to an extension at that point, but Philly leaned into the quarterback position anyway. Wentz regressed, Hurts took the job by the end of the season, and the Eagles elevated Hurts into the starting role in 2021 and traded Wentz. The Browns have not drafted a quarterback since Mayfield, so it's time to invest in the position anyway. But what if they like a guy at pick No. 45?Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.Want to get involved in Football Insider? Click here for more info and to sign up.Music credit:Ice Flow by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3898-ice-flowLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

It's Part 2 of the Mayfield Matrix as the Orange and Brown Talk crew looks at another way the Browns could handle their QB situation. What if the Browns brought in a veteran as a hedge, another QB who has started and could be a backup to Mayfield but also be ready to take over in 2022 if things don't go well? It would be a quarterback with more upside than Case Keenum, but not a QB who is so good he would demand to start in Cleveland.The example here is what the Tennessee Titans did with Marcus Mariota when they brought him back as the starter again in Year 5 in 2019 without an extension, like the Browns are doing with Mayfield, and then added Ryan Tannehill in a trade. The long-time starter in Miami, Tannehill backed up Mariota in camp, but the Titans turned to him to start in Game 7 and then went on a run to the playoffs and onto the AFC Championship Game.Should the Browns consider adding a Tannehill type player? And if so, what potentially available veterans could fit that mold?Doug Lesmerises, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Scott Patsko and Mary Kay Cabot break that all down.

A new podcast series starts today at the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Over the next several days, the crew will examine all the options the Browns could have with Baker Mayfield in 2022, not only when it comes to playing him, but what kind of other quarterbacks they may or may not surround him with.To start, Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock, Mary Kay Cabot, Scott Patsko and Doug Lesmerises look at the Jameis Winston option, which it seems like the Browns are doing. That's keeping Mayfield as their QB in 2022 without having another real option on the roster. The crew discusses the pros, cons and history of that option; why it might fit the Browns; and then they rate how much they like this option. They'll do the same with four other options over the next several days.Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.

Jeff Lloyd is joined by Brownswire writer Jeff Risdon to talk takeaway's from Berry and Coach Stefanski's season ending pressers. As difficult a year as it was for Baker it's been obvious he is the guy for this team in '22. Will Baker change his off-season routine? Will his rehab allow enough time to get in a productive offseason? D'Ernest is probably moving on, and good for him. Conklin is going to be in a tough spot to remain. Treylon Burks seems to be an ideal fit fpr this offense, and most importantly Baker. Defense needs Clowney to stay badly, and find a bull to play nose tackle. #Browns #BakerMayfield #NickChubb #KareemHunt #MylesGarrett #JOK #DenzelWard
