They have figured out how to build these districts around them and make a fortune off the real estate development.

Didn’t used to have that card in the deck.

Yup. They've been wanting to redevelop the site for a long time. There are freight rail tracks though it, and they've been trying to work both local commuter rail and front range passenger rail through it and push for transit oriented development The neighborhoods developed around Coors Field have been successful despite the Rockies making the Reds look like the 1927 Yankees so they have a model to follow, although the Burnham Yard area is currently quite a bit more industrial in nature than the area around Coors Field was.

As a Browns fan, all I can do is face-palm. Put Mayfield back on this team, and give the Browns those draft picks they traded away. Mayfield may not have been the HOF quarterback you need, but I think they'd make the playoffs more often than not.

Hindsight being 20/20, keeping Baker and giving him the contract Watson wasted would have been the better move. If the cards had fallen differently, I can't see the Browns paying a premium to keep Baker at QB, and his butthurt would have led him to sign somewhere else. I think he would have seen his Buc's contract of 100M over 3 years as insulting at that point.

That's fair. But it still would have been nice to have the 5 or so extra draft picks. Would they have had a chance to draft a quarterback with one of those 5? CJ Stroud, maybe? (Sorry - I don't know who was drafted with which picks.)
