NFL Insider Believes Browns Could End Up Releasing Baker Mayfield

Will Cleveland release the former No. 1 pick?

Baker Mayfield is still on the Browns' roster even though they traded for Deshaun Watson and signed Jacoby Brissett this offseason.

Mayfield requested a trade in March. Both he and the organization mutually agreed that he wouldn't attend offseason workouts. 

People around the NFL believe the Browns will ultimately release Mayfield according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.

"The most popular landing spot for Mayfield in our straw poll was the Seahawks," Graziano wrote. "They don't seem interested in trading for him, but could, if he gets released, sign him to a low-cost deal and add him to a quarterback room that includes Geno Smith and Drew Lock in the wake of the Russell Wilson trade."

The Browns' relationship with Mayfield is beyond repair. Even if Watson is suspended for the entire season, it's hard to imagine the former No. 1 overall pick suiting up for Cleveland in 2022. 

Teams aren't interested in trading for Mayfield because he's set to make over $18 million this season and his contract is fully guaranteed.
