Browns coach Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media on Monday morning at the NFL’s annual coaches meeting, and was asked about the status of quarterback Baker Mayfield, who remains on the roster after the acquisition of Deshaun Watson.
“I think everyone understands the situation, and we’re hoping it’s resolved soon. It’s a unique situation. We’ve got to see how it plays out. I think all of us would love an answer yesterday, but that’s not the reality of it,” Stefanski told the media.
Mayfield requested a trade from the Browns following initial reports that the team was pursuing Watson. Now that Watson is a member of the franchise after being acquired on March 18, Mayfield would like to be sent elsewhere so he can pursue a starting quarterback job.
