Baker Mayfield, Browns Both Ready To Move On
2 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield isn't completely ruling out the possibility of a reconciliation with the team in the event that the NFL suspends Deshaun Watson for the entire 2022 season, but the disgruntled QB also said the Browns would have to be the ones to start the process. "I think for that to happen there would have to be some reaching out," Mayfield said. "But we're ready to move on, I think -- on both sides." If Watson is suspended the Browns are expected to roll with Jacoby Brissett. Cleveland has discussed trading Mayfield with the Carolina Panthers, but a deal won't happen unless the Browns agree to eat more of Mayfield's almost $19 million guaranteed salary. Mayfield is also rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be ready for the start of the 2022 season for the Browns or whichever team pulls the trigger and trades for him.
