While Deshaun Watson was leading the Cleveland Browns offense on a trip to the Bahamas and then in the first set of offseason training activities, Baker Mayfield was left in limbo. As expected, Mayfield was not in attendance for OTAs this week as he waits for resolution of his time in Cleveland.
Given the voluntary nature of this week, Mayfield’s absence is not a surprise. Where things could get interesting is when mandatory minicamp rolls around.
According to multiple reports, Mayfield was almost dealt during the NFL draft. It seemed as if the Carolina Panthers and Browns were on the verge of getting a deal done until it fell apart, reportedly due to money.
