Mike Tannenbaum
Mike TannenbaumBaker Mayfield is a height and speed deficient quarterback who should not be paid a top-of-market contract.
Baker Mayfield is a guy that is just objectively short and slow... you can't pay him $40 million a year because you've got to keep Chubb and Ward and all these other guys... In my opinion, he's somewhere between the 6th and 8th best quarterback in the AFC. How are you going to win a championship?
Mayfield's career subsequently declined with the Browns, leading to his trade. While he had a resurgence later with Tampa Bay, Tannenbaum's assessment that the Browns shouldn't pay him top market value proved accurate for Cleveland.
