Baker Mayfield demands trade after Deshaun Watson turns down Browns

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield wants a trade. Mayfield informed the Browns on Thursday that he wants to be dealt, according to multiple media reports.

Mayfield confirmed the news, telling ESPN the relationship is "too far gone to mend."

The request comes two days after Mayfield posted a note on social media thanking the city and its fans for the past four years. With the Browns reportedly in pursuit of Deshaun Watson, many assumed Mayfield expected to be traded.

That changed Thursday, as the Browns were reportedly told they are out of the running for Watson.
