Baker Mayfield says extension with Cleveland Browns will 'handle itself'

BEREA, Ohio - Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said Wednesday that he's in "no rush" to get an extension done with the team and that his focus remains on the field.

"Everything happens for a reason and it'll handle itself," said Mayfield, who became eligible for an extension this offseason. "So, just worried about winning."

The 2018 No. 1 overall pick is coming off a breakout season, quarterbacking the Browns to their first playoff victory in 26 years. In Cleveland's first postseason appearance since 2002, Mayfield threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns, as the Browns snapped their 17-game losing streak in Pittsburgh.
