As it stands, the Detroit Lions will be rolling with Jared Goff as their starting quarterback for the 2022 season.
But could the Lions replace Goff by trading for former No. 1 overall draft pick, Baker Mayfield?
Well, there are rumors floating around that the Lions have emerged as a dark horse candidate to trade the Cleveland Browns for Mayfield. Former Browns GM John Dorsey is now with the Lions, so there is a link.
With the Browns trading for Deshaun Watson and Mayfield demanding a trade, it is only a matter of time before he is sent packing. The only question is, where will he play in 2022 and beyond?
Nation, would you be interested in the Lions trading for Baker Mayfield?
The Detroit Lions have emerged as a dark horse candidate. Source tells us with former Browns, GM Dorsey, in the front office it is a possibility. #OnePride

Feels as though Seattle will be the team that adds Baker Mayfield. Carolina would be my next guess with the Lions being a sleeper given the presence of John Dorsey.
I keep coming back to the Carson Wentz trade and how bad Washington looks for taking on his contact when they did.
