Report: Baker Mayfield’s 2022 Salary Holding Up Potential Trade

As the Browns prepare to move forward with a new quarterback, the organization still has important work to do involving its old one.

Baker Mayfield remains without a sense of direction in the wake of his trade request on March 17 and Cleveland’s acquisition of Deshaun Watson the following day. Mayfield, 26, was reportedly set to sit out prior to the Watson trade until the team honored his request.

As things currently stand, however, the market for the former No. 1 pick remains influx as teams are uninterested in taking on Mayfield’s $18.86 million salary (fifth-year option) in 2022, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
