Baker Mayfield Trade Rumors: Browns QB's Situation Shocks League Execs

If you're surprised that Baker Mayfield is still a member of the Cleveland Browns, you' aren't alone.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Tuesday on Get Up that the situation is "being slow-played around the league." Interested suitors are content to wait until the Browns either release Mayfield or commit to covering a portion of his $18.9 million salary for the 2022 NFL season.

Fowler described some executives around the league as "shocked" at how little movement there has been. To that end, one general manager told Fowler that the Browns should just keep Mayfield for now in case another team loses a quarterback to an injury.
