For young quarterbacks in the NFL...the offseason entering year 4 is the most important of their career. In most cases...the fourth offseason is when it's determined whether or not they're considered to be a franchise quarterback.

Kevin Stefanski and the Cleveland Browns have reached that point with Baker Mayfield. At some point this offseason...Baker Mayfield is going to request a contract extension from the Cleveland Browns.

Will the Browns give him the extension? Is Baker Mayfield worth paying $150-$200 million over the next four or five years? Has he proven that he's capable of being a franchise quarterback? 

We answer all of those questions...and explain why it would be a major mistake for Kevin Stefanski and the Browns to rush into any decisions regarding the future with Baker Mayfield.
