"I'm taking Lamar Jackson, Freddie Jackson & Rebbie Jackson over him" - Shannon Sharpe brutally trolls Baker Mayfield 

NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe brutally trolled Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield on an episode of FOX Sports Undisputed. Sharpe said that he would take just about any quarterback over Mayfield at this point in time.

The Cleveland quarterback has been the subject of much conjecture over his playing future after the Browns signed Deshaun Watson to a five-year, $230 million deal months ago.

Many feel that the former Oklahoma Sooners star's time with Cleveland is up, with Carolina rumored to be one of the teams interested in securing his services. With Sam Darnold the starting quarterback for the Panthers, some think that the Six-time NFL Pepsi Rookie of the Week is an upgrade. Then there's Shannon Sharpe's opinion on the matter.

Sharpe, however, feels the Browns quarterback does not cut it and went all the way back to the NFL draft, where Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were selected behind Baker to drive home his point. Sharpe, who has never been convinced of Jackson's throwing ability, said he would select the Ravens quarterback over Mayfield, before claiming that singers Freddie Jackson and Rebbie Jackson were also capable of doing a better job than the Cleveland signal-caller.

Sharpe said:

”Im taking Lamar Jackson, Freddie Jackson & Rebbie Jackson over Baker Mayfield. I sure will over Baker Mayfield.”

With Cleveland knowing that they will eventually have to part ways with the former Sooners star, teams have been reluctant to enter negotiations. Instead, they appear to be waiting for Cleveland to cut him first.

Will Baker Mayfield be on Browns roster this coming season?

When Deshaun Watson was signed, many thought it would be a matter of time before the 27-year-old former walk on found another team. But with all of Watson's off-field issues now seemingly worsening and a potential suspension coming his way, the qb could end up being the team's starter for Week 1.

That's a long shot, given how the last couple of months have played out between the quarterback and the franchise.

Given that he is rehabbing his shoulder after surgery, teams could simply be waiting for the 27-year-old to get healthy before making an attempt to sign him. There is no need to sign him to a contract if he can't participate in drills yet.

Seattle and Carolina have been rumored to be interested in the quarterback's services, but as of yet, no talks have happened regarding a deal.

There are thoughts around the league that the 27-year-old could still be on the roster come Week 1. He is slated to make around $19 million this coming season, and Baker has no incentive to push things along as he gets paid regardless.

Whether he remains on the Browns roster for the upcoming season remains to be seen, and with Watson's off-field issues, Cleveland might have to come crawling back to their once-starting quarterback to salvage their season.
