Brushing off Aaron Rodgers trade talk, the Browns are all in on Baker Mayfield while setting 'a new standard'

The Cleveland Browns aren’t interested in trading for Aaron Rodgers. That’s what Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported over the weekend. The team is “all in” on Baker Mayfield for the 2021 season … and presumably beyond.

Getting that statement of support out there is a wise move by the Browns. Why let speculation fester?

After all, even if they were interested in Rodgers, the league’s reigning MVP, there is no guarantee that he can force an exit from Green Bay this offseason and, even if he does, there is even less probability that Cleveland would be his preferred destination.
