1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Hey, what's up, everybody. I'm Will Silva and these here 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: good morning football headlines for the NFL Network. Last season, 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: it all started to come together for the Browns, right. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: They finally beat the Steelers in the playoffs on the road, which, 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: by the way, was their first road playoff wins since 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. In quarterback, Baker Mayfield had the most 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: passing touchdown since rookie season with twenty six and the 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: career low eight picks. All this has Browns gen Andrew 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: Barry downright giddy. Here is speaking to reporters on Wednesday. 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: We've been pretty consistent with our messaging around Baker that 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: we think he had a really strong season for us. 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: We like the maturation and the growth both on and 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: off the field, and we're looking forward to to him 14 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: continue to take straps. The second year of the offense. 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: Baker is the first quarterback, and you guys probably know 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: the years more than I do. That's that's led this organization, 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: led this team to the playoffs, a playoff victory. He's 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: endured an enormous amount of in his young career, just 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: quite honestly, with the changes that's that he's gone through 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: with coaching sassment offices, offensive systems, and he's risen above 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: it all. And so I think we all saw him 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: growth from week to week to week last year, and 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: we expect him to continue that progress and have a 24 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: fantastic twenty twenty one season for us. A lot of 25 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: excitement in Cleveland. Meanwhile, we've seen this offseason quarterbacks on 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the move, Jared Goff at the Stafford Trading places, Kerson 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: Wentz heading east, and the Pennsylvania Trumpike towards the Indian Now, 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Jark Carr's name has been rumored in the trade discussions, 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: but the Raiders quarterback he can rest easy now he's 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: got a home in Las Vegas until further notice. Gentle 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: manager Mike Mayock giving his signal color a big boat 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: of confidence Wednesday while speaking to reporters, I think dark 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Carr had his best year yet under John Gruten. I 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: think he's one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, 35 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: and we couldn't be happier with him. And I tell 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: you every year, I mean we have wait every position. 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Every year. I have no idea who might call me 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: or who might not call me. So you have to 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: do the evaluation both on your own players and every 40 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: other player in the league. And you gotta stack your 41 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: boards and understand what league value is all around the league, 42 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: and we do that. But if you're asking me about 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Dark I mean I think John and I would both 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: stand shoulder to shoulder and found the table for Dark Car. 45 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: So far, so good. Then for Car another quarterback who 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Kirk Cousins, Vikings general 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: manager Expelment, reaffirming Wednesday that Cousins will be the Vikings 48 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: QB going forward. Things though that's so certain for just quarterbacks. 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, GM, Joe Douglas and head coach Rover Sala 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: didn't provide any clarity on their plans for the thirty 51 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: year quarterback, Douglas saying Wednesday, quote, if calls are made, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: I will answer them. The Jazz hold of the second 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft stocks with potential 54 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: franchise qbs and oh just a reminder of the twenty 55 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: twenty one NFL Draft, presented by Verizon It's coming soon. 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: It all starts Thursday, April twenty ninth, as Urban Meyer 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars go on the clock with the first 58 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: overall pick.
