Since Cleveland traded for quarterback Deshaun Watson nearly two weeks ago, the franchise has faced criticism in signing the three-time Pro Bowler. However, Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at the NFL owners’ meetings on Tuesday that he regrets how the trade took place.
Berry, who stands firmly on the idea of being able to communicate with his player, coaches and personnel, met with Baker Mayfield’s agent at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month and stated that the organization was looking at other signal-callers. However, Berry did not tell Mayfield’s agent that he was meeting with Watson on March 15 in Houston, three days before the organization traded for the former Texans quarterback.
