The Cleveland Browns put themselves in an awkward situation while courting Deshaun Watson. During that time, Baker Mayfield took to social media and voiced his displeasure with the organization. Now, he's stuck with the franchise as the front office struggles to find a trade partner. Kevin Stefanski opens up on the situation regarding the disgruntled quarterback and the franchise.
According to ESPN, Stefanski claims, “I think everyone understands the situation, and we're hoping that it is resolved soon.” The Browns' head coach continues by stating, “It's a unique situation. We've got to see how it plays out. I think of all of us would love an answer yesterday, but that's not the reality of it.”
Cleveland has been unsuccessful in trading Baker Mayfield away so far. The main problem could be that the Browns are asking for too much. Rumors are the front office is asking for a first-round selection and no teams in the league are willing to pay that price. Regardless, it's time for this franchise to part ways with Mayfield after acquiring Deshaun Watson via trade.
Mayfield's time in Cleveland has officially come to an end. Watson will be the starting quarterback once he serves his eventual suspension. Meanwhile, the Browns brought in Jacoby Brissett to be the backup. Kevin Stefanski is hopeful a deal for Baker Mayfield comes to fruition soon, so the franchise can finally push forward.
It's unclear which team will trade for the disgruntled quarterback. Speculation continues to rise around the Seattle Seahawks acquiring Baker Mayfield. However, there is nothing concrete as of now. Keep an eye on Cleveland, as they should be trading away the veteran quarterback soon.
