About this episode

Ken and Anthony discuss Baker Mayfield's contract and its implications for the Cleveland Browns.

Ken puts his hand up and swears he never bought into "we should've kept Baker" revisionism, walking through just how bad things got before the Deshaun Watson trade. He and Anthony argue Baker's three-year, $160 million extension in Tampa is actually good news for Browns fans too, since it should push the Haslams to handle their next franchise quarterback with more patience and tighter reins than they gave Baker.
