Following a challenging 2021 season, the Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation remains uncertain. Here's an analysis of the betting odds for potential 2022 starting quarterbacks:

Baker Mayfield (-250)

• Current favorite despite playing under four head coaches in four seasons
• Significant performance decline in 2021
• Trading him could be difficult due to injury concerns

Jimmy Garoppolo (+180)

• Expected to leave San Francisco after Trey Lance draft pick
• Familiar with Stefanski/Shanahan offensive schemes
• Could be acquired at reasonable cost
• Questionable upgrade over Mayfield

Derek Carr (+250)

• Would be clear upgrade at quarterback
• Future with Raiders uncertain under new management
• Currently under contract with Las Vegas

Russell Wilson (+500)

• Has no-trade clause in contract
• No expressed interest in Cleveland
• Would require multiple high draft picks
• Age: 33

Aaron Rodgers (+1400)

• Long-shot option with intriguing potential
• Browns' strong offensive line and run game could appeal
• Existing relationship with OC Alex Van Pelt
• Would significantly improve team's prospects

The odds suggest Mayfield remains most likely to start, though several veteran options could emerge depending on off-season moves and negotiations. The Browns' strong supporting cast makes them an attractive destination for veteran quarterbacks seeking a new team.
