It seems highly likely that the Cleveland Browns will move on from QB Baker Mayfield this offseason but nothing is certain. Before the Browns traded for Deshaun Watson, Mayfield requested a trade. The team quickly denied that request.
At that point, the assumption was that Watson was going to decide between New Orleans and Atlanta as his next stop. When the former Houston Texans star instead decided on Cleveland, Mayfield’s future was once again up in the air.
The NFL’s offseason of quarterback musical chairs has spun quite quickly but seemingly doesn’t have many spots left for Mayfield. Jimmy Garoppolo joins Mayfield as the two starting level signal-callers left to be moved this year. Both quarterbacks have had offseason shoulder surgery. Mayfield had his earlier and on his non-throwing shoulder while Garoppolo’s was almost two months later and is on his throwing shoulder.
