Seahawks and Panthers in bidding war for Baker, EDIT: Panthers Outbid Hawks

[Hawkspeed]

Good point...But I am still against acquiring Mayfield.

If there is, now, a 3rd team gambling on Balko's 'sweepstakes', I won't need to 'stay tuned', as Balko's advised
Welshers will announceTeam 3 right here on this page.
Also, the most memorable recent QB sweepstakes "prize" was DeShaun.
Baker will be, at least, a better prize than DeShaun.

 

[BlueTalon]

Wow. So a deal was almost done to bring our savior to Seattle but then the Panthers entered the mix. We are still actively trying for Baker.

That guy has like 4000 followers on Twitter.

Why are you one of them?

 

[IndyHawk]

Who is this Guy??? An employee at the Browns or Bakers best buddie trying to get BM out of Cleveland???

How is it that only this guy has info?? Welsher who is "your source"

He's a Baker nut hugger..He has no source.He just wishes.

 

[onanygivensunday]

My sources tell me it's basically done. In a day or two baker will be a Hawk. We are trying to get the trade down to one 1st instead of 2

Like the sound of that.

Mayfield PLUS a 1st would be sweet.

Baker and TWO 1st rounders would be one for the books!

 

[had2bhawk]

I see what you did there!

 

[JPatera76]

Mayfield, is a hard pass for me. No thanks now, and forever. Also wtf welshers lol are you the John63 for f'ing Mayfield? Every damn post involving mayfield on the front page is started by you lobbying like raging hard boner to get him and to link whatever story works for your narrative.

 

[Spohawks]

Remember that trade where the Lions gave the Rams the world plus ten 1st rounders to take Stafford off thier hands?

With Baker being a 50 win/50 lose guy with a sizable contract, the Browns have ZERO leverage. Tossing the Browns a token player could have the same outcome.

 

[BlueTalon]

I think it would be funny if we did a trade for Mayfield, but made the Browns include a player we really wanted as part of the deal.

 

[Appyhawk]

Do the odds change every day that goes by and Baker still doesn't have a new team? The "sources" remain the same.
I see a site that specializes in proposing trades, insinuating there are teams negotiating to that effect. "It has been proposed" follows on a dozen other clickbait sites which leads to 'it has been widely reported'...and they all close with "you saw it here first".

No one remembers that, because that didn't happen.

Nice call, I got it backwards. Either way, I want the free picks...Send Geno!

 

[Cyrus12]

Browns have no picks left since they sent all their 1sts for the foreseeable future to Houston.

 

[jammerhawk]

If this were actually the case and there was a bidding war ongoing between Seattle and Carolina for Mayfield there would be more genuine media knowledge of the situation.

I'm very doubtful of the accuracy of the Twitter report that is supposedly the basis of this announcement.

Time will tell in this and in the fullness of time we will know what the Mayfield to Seattle situation truly is but I genuinely doubt it is impending.

 

[Allweatherfan]

How many Baker Mayfield threads is Welshers allowed to start before he gets put in timeout?

This! Credibility = Shot

 

[jlwaters1]

It's inconceivable to me that the Browns would move on from Baker with Watson's suspension looming. They would be foolish IMO.

 

[Welshers]

Everyone just wait. This deal will get done. I have sources other than Twitter but I have to keep them confidential. Trust me baker is coming

They moved on from Baker the minute they inked the deal with Watson. Maybe they overestimated his trade value and that's why he's still on the market, but there's no doubt at all that they knew Mayfield would go on strike against them if there's a suspension.

No. No, you dont.

 

[Welshers]

No. No, you dont.

I expect you and all my other doubters to appologize to me when Baker starts for the Seahawks week 1.
