The Cleveland Browns are in the process of moving on from quarterback Baker Mayfield following the acquisition of fellow quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Where Mayfield ultimately lands remains to be seen but in the interim, he’s staying ready by throwing to several current and former NFL wide receivers. And among them just so happens to be Alex Bachman of the New York Giants.
From NFL Now on @nflnetwork: Baker Mayfield’s plan is to throw on his own (Cole Beasley, Danny Amendola and Alex Bachman are his current targets) while the #Browns work on a trade.

Bachman, who was signed by the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest in 2019, joined the Giants that same year. He was signed to Big Blue’s practice squad roughly a month after L.A. waived him with an injury settlement.
In his three years with the Giants, Bachman has spent time on and off of both the practice squad and active roster. He’s appeared in four games, including three last season, but has yet to draw a target. He has, however, returned four kickoffs for 94 yards and one punt for 16 yards.
Back in January, the Giants signed Bachman to a reserve/futures deal.
Bachman working with Mayfield is of little consequence, but the fact that he’s also working alongside wide receiver Cole Beasley is somewhat interesting. Beasley, a current free agent, has a lengthy history with Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, and could become a potential option for the team somewhere down the line.
