Baker Mayfield was probably never going to attend the Cleveland Browns’ offseason workouts. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Browns have decided that’s fine, because there was really no other course of action.
Cleveland and its former top overall NFL Draft pick have reportedly come to an agreement that excuses the four-year veteran from this week’s minicamp workouts.
It’s the logical progression in Mayfield’s banishment from northeastern Ohio, but potentially an eyebrow-raising one following a New York Times report detailing new quarterback Deshaun Watson’s alleged sexual misconduct over several years as a Houston Texan. Watson was facing a lengthy league suspension even before that article was published. The New York Times‘ investigation, which coincides with a 24th accuser filing suit against the quarterback, contains new details that reportedly caught both the Browns and NFL decision makers unaware.
