The Cleveland Browns have reportedly made a decision about quarterback Baker Mayfield. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Browns plan to keep him as their starting QB for the 2022 season.
This seems like a sensible decision for both parties, but it wasn't a sure thing. Just one year after making the playoffs for the first time since 2002, the Browns are on the outside looking in once again, coming into the final week with a 7-9 record. They were eliminated from the playoffs before they even played their Week 17 game, a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
