Baker Mayfield Trade Rumors: Browns Know Teams Aren't Eager to Pay Any of QB's Salary

The Cleveland Browns reportedly may hold on to Baker Mayfield for a while to see whether any quarterback situations change around the NFL before training camp.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Friday on SportsCenter that interested teams haven't shown a willingness to pay the QB's $18.9 million salary for the 2022 season:

"I'm hearing the Browns are prepared to hold on to him for a little bit. I checked with a source who said, 'What's the rush here?' Browns don't have minicamp until around mid-June, mandatory minicamp where Baker would have to show up, or he could get fined and jeopardize some of that $18.
