Adding to his Get Up phrase on Twitter, he mentions, “The Browns needed to trade Baker Mayfield before the ink dried on Deshaun Watson’s contract. Instead, they trashed Baker in the media, aided in killing his trade value, and are stuck with a QB they don’t want.”

Robert Griffin III brings up an ideal viewpoint. After all, saying stuff unpleasant to a guy with whom you wish to trade reduces the advantage. Many believe that the Browns should’ve just traded for Mayfield prior to actually adding Watson. They shouldn’t have gotten into the issue because it simply disparages the quarterback.

Most NFL teams haven’t made any interest to get the QB for a starting position. If any team who has made any interest sees him as a liability. Moreover, Mayfield’s contract makes it much more challenging to trade him because as Browns have made it abundantly clear they don’t really want him anymore.

It’s unclear what might transpire among the Cleveland Browns and Baker Mayfield, but the turmoil is likely to continue for now.
