Several Cleveland Browns veterans reportedly approached Baker Mayfield after the quarterback made critical comments about running back Duke Johnson Jr.'s trade request.
On Thursday, Michael Silver of NFL Network reported members of the team "voiced their displeasure" with Mayfield, whom they viewed as meddling in Johnson's business relationship with the Browns.
"It's self-inflicted. It is what it is. It's not awkward for anyone else in this building," Mayfield told reporters of Johnson's trade request. "He's gotta do his job. He said he was a professional. I hope he does his job.
