Baker Mayfield: Relationship With Duke Johnson Is Fine
5 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield told reporters that the relationship between him and running back Duke Johnson is good. Mayfield made waves earlier in the offseason when he told reporters, "It's not awkward. It's self-inflicted. I hope he does his job. We gotta have guys that are goal-oriented, who have a single focus and mindset" when asked about Johnson's trade demand. Now that training camp has started, Mayfield said, "We addressed it. We're good". Both head coach Freddie Kitchens and general manager John Dorsey reiterated that they have no plans to trade the disgruntled Johnson this season. Johnson will open the season as the backup to Nick Chubb but his role will grow murky when Kareem Hunt joins the fold after his eight-game suspension.
