Radio hosts discuss Baker Mayfield as potential Steelers quarterback
Summary

On a June 5 episode of "Baskins And Phelps," Cleveland radio hosts debated the possibility of the Pittsburgh Steelers pursuing Baker Mayfield as a quarterback replacement for Aaron Rodgers. Mayfield, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, may become a free agent next offseason. Andy Baskins expressed skepticism about the Steelers paying Mayfield's potential asking price, while Daryl Ruiter suggested that Mayfield's move to Pittsburgh would be appealing, given his history with the Cleveland Browns and recent performance improvements. Mayfield's current standing and effectiveness this season could influence Pittsburgh's decision-making for 2027 and beyond.
