Not sure if its accurate, but its been gaining some traction all afternoon. Would make for an interesting game considering they go against the Jets and Sam Darnold. I didn't realize that Cleveland was preparing and acting toward Darnold and his group that they were going to take him #1 in the Draft and something changed in the last 4 or 5 days before the Draft and they took Mayfield. Heard that today on The Herd.
Anyhoo, if he does it would be a good reason for me to check out the game later.

I'm still not sold on their HC Jackson, but management is seemingly getting its act together. Combined with the decline of the Steelers, they could be rising at the right time.@"StickyBun" said: Mayfield came in and gave that team a big spark and jump in energy, you could see it. He's a natural leader and upbeat presence. Yet of course the media is overreacting and the hyperbole is flying, he's going to be up and down. But I don't see how you can go back now, Mayfield is the man moving forward. You can see that there's talent on that Cleveland roster. Ya think? It's ridiculous. Browns played two playoff teams in weeks one and two. They tied the Steelers in a game where a missed field goal by Gonzalez would've won it. They then went INTO New Orleans and lost by three points in a game they should've won, with Gonzalez missing TWO extra points and TWO field goals. But the narrative will be "oh my, Baker!" Now, Baker played OK and he could very well go on to be league MVP for all I know (or care), but the truth is that the Browns are a much better team this year no matter who's QB. I predicted 8-8 for them before the season and I think they might be even better than that.
