Baker Mayfield and Sean Payton, in Boomer Esiason’s opinion, would produce fireworks in Denver.
LAS VEGAS: The Denver Broncos and Baker Mayfield?
Boomer Esiason would like to see a quarterback and wife like that.
It is flammable. It’s the union of two possibly “mercurial” personalities. Nevertheless, it might function flawlessly or be so explosive that it causes the football landscape to blow up.
Esiason remarked on Tuesday, “Oh, I’d love to see him with Sean Payton.” That’s just not possible. They would be yelling at each other nonstop!
Boomer Esiason’s long-gone playing career never seemed to lack drama. He was coached by the late Sam Wyche in Cincinnati, who was often at the forefront of offensive innovation and the prevailing controversy.
In the event that Payton and Mayfield end up together, pass the popcorn.
“Come on, Baker and Sean Payton together are what the NFL needs?”Because if Todd Bowles, the coach of Tampa Bay, had said, “Good play,” Mayfield and Payton would have been yelling at one another. That would be fantastic.
It is also improbable to occur.
Baker Mayfieeldd might not be a realistic addition to the Broncos as a quarterback. and this is entirely because of the combination of Mayfield’s potential price tag (possibly between $30 and $40 million annually after leading a second franchise to a playoff victory in four years) and the Broncos’ impending salary-cap crunch.
Furthermore, Tampa Bay may just bring Mayfield back. This would make sense for all parties, considering his part in leading the Buccaneers to an unexpected division title and their first-ever trip to the NFL Final Eight.
That brings us to the bargain bin. seasoned castoffs. quarterbacks selected late. Young passers who have some upside but don’t have a starting job awaiting them.
Boomer Esiason believes that one such quarterback is Jake Browning of the Bengals, a backup who filled in admirably for the injured Joe Burrow the previous season.
Esiason added, “And as we’re finding out, not everybody has to be a first-round draft choice.” “Being Patrick Mahomes is fantastic, but Brock Purdy has, in a sense, shattered the glass slipper. That guy is out there.
“And someone like the Bengals’ Jake Browning, for example. appeared out of nowhere. and had an outstanding year in Joe Burrow’s place.
“Is that a player the Broncos could take into consideration? Because you could assemble a stronger team around him and he would be a less expensive guy. Thus, there may be a candidate for that position or someone in the draft.
It is possible that none of these remedies will be able to address the issue for at least ten years. However, that isn’t the worst thing that can happen.
“You’re searching for a stopgap of two years. similar to Seattle’s Geno Smith,” Esiason remarked. “That is not inherently flawed.”
Smith, of course, took Russell Wilson’s place. The carousel was meant to come to an end with the trade for Wilson. Rather, he seems to have evolved into the “two-year stop-gap” that Esiason characterised as Wilson’s Seahawks replacement.
