While I am basically sure Baker will never wear a Seahawks uniform, I hope John and Pete are subscribers to Seaside Joe and read this article carefully.

No way would I want the Hawks to give up a draft pick for Mayfield (even a late pick) or take on a significant portion of his contract. I've said from the beginning of this discussion that I'd be open to signing him if he's cut. Even then, I'd be concerned about the potential downsides for team chemistry. I'd want Pete and John to make sure Baker knows nothing's being handed to him and that he's good with that.

Like that, there would be no risk for Seattle. If Mayfield proves himself worthy, great. If he doesn't, and if he makes trouble in the locker, we can cut him. He's shown flashes of enormous potential but continues to make bad plays with consistency. He'd be a reclamation project.
