Baker Mayfield's status in the Cleveland Browns' AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers is in question with his shoulder injury. His contract is also in question. The Browns picked up his fifth-year option, but there is no long-term deal agreement so far. One report says Baker's deal will not reach Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen's levels. However, the Browns were willing to quote: 'pay him in the mid-to-high $30 million per year to stick around.' Marcellus Wiley explains why Baker does not deserve $35 million a year, but will get it anyways.

The Philadelphia Eagles have lost five of their last six games after their Week 7 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders. On Monday, the Eagles made some changes to their roster. Joe Flacco was traded to the New York Jets, which puts Gardner Minshew in the backup role. Jalen Hurts has averaged under 200 passing yards in the past three games, but head coach Nick Sirianni still gave him a boat of confidence, saying quote: 'I have a ton of faith in Jalen. He will be our starting quarterback.' Emmanuel Acho explains why the Eagles benching Hurts would clarify 'who's truly at fault for the Eagles' struggles.'
