NFC South

Saints (H) – Baker Mayfield’s new home?

Granted, this is more of a facetious point of view, not intended to be taken seriously at all. As one commentator said previously; Baker Mayfield is our quarterback until he’s not. Andrew Berry thinks so, even if Kevin Stefanski doesn’t. Where would Mayfield go if he ever did leave Cleveland as a player? Well, Sean Payton did good work with another shorter, downtrodden player in Drew Brees, getting him from San Diego (after Miami passed). Could Mayfield be looking at his future team?

Buccaneers (H) – One last go-around with Tom Brady?

Until he says otherwise, Tom Brady will likely play against in 2022. The ageless wonder is 44, but don’t tell his BTS-inspired haircut that. Brady will almost assuredly opt to play again and if he does, it could very well be his last trip to Cleveland for a game. That means the Cleveland Browns may give the potential 2021 MVP winner a butt-kicking to remember them by in retirement.

Panthers (A) – Seeing Christian McCaffery play

Give me enough time and I can come up with a reasonable trade for anyone, including Christian McCaffery. He’d be an ideal player for the Browns but the Panthers don’t want to move on from him. So the most likely place Browns fans can see him play is on television when the Cleveland Browns go down to North Carolina to watch the Panthers play uninspired offense behind Matt Rhule.

Falcons (A) – Beating up the new kid

It’s not cool to bully but the Atlanta Falcons will almost surely come into 2022 with a rookie quarterback chomping to get playing time and that usually means easy prey. The Browns will more than likely get the chance to play against the next franchise kid. If Matt Ryan is still there, then it’s a chance to further beat on Ryan’s legacy after 28-3.
