Former Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas made waves over the weekend when he stated on “The Thom and Hawk Football Show” that quarterback Baker Mayfield turned down a contract extension offer of $30 million per year from the team prior to the 2021 season.
It turns out that the rumor made by the retired offensive lineman about Mayfield may not be true after all.
“That’s 100% false,” a league source told Browns reporter Mary Cay Cabot on Sunday night.
With Cleveland acquiring Deshaun Watson via trade with Houston last week, Mayfield is still hoping to find a new home where he can start in 2022, although nothing is imminent, per Cabot.
