Summary
It was centuries ago that the Baker Mayfield trade talks first started up, and last week we finally reached the end of the road with he would-be-Cleveland-Browns franchise QB mercifully shipped off to Carolina for a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick.
Conor and Gary discuss a deal that left pretty much everyone unsatisfied, whether it be the draft compensation, the split of his salary, the paycut, or the domino effect on the Panthers’ QB depth chart. What does it mean for Mayfield, for Ben McAdoo, for Sam Darnold, for Christian McCaffrey, for Kevin Stefanski, and for the Browns’ front office? And what are the chances this works out for Mayfield and the Panthers in the short- or long-term?
Then, in a very special segment, Conor breaks out his new treasure trove of mid-90s football cards, the inspiration for a Remember Some Guys-style guessing game.
