The Browns are expected to trade Baker Mayfield after acquiring Deshaun Watson to play quarterback, but one former Brown thinks Mayfield only has himself to blame.
On his podcast, former Cleveland offensive tackle Joe Thomas said Mayfield’s actions leading up to the Watson deal could be why the Browns pursued Watson.
“It seemed like Baker overplayed his hand a little bit,” Thomas said on The Thom and Hawk Football Show. “Because the interesting thing was at that moment, the Browns were out of the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. And it seemed by all accounts that they were ready to do what it took to smooth things over with Baker.
