Would the Browns quarterback have been upset that his team tried to lure DeShaun Watson? It would seem fine.
According to NFL Media, the 2018 1st draft pick asked his franchise to be traded. ESPN specifies in passing that he would be interested in the Colts.
End of not receiving. The Browns would oppose the departure of their starting quarterback.
The next few weeks are likely to be eventful between the two parties. The good news is that the resumption of the season is not for now, and that the staff and the front office of Cleveland have time to try to convince Mayfield that in fact they have always believed in him.
#Browns QB Baker Mayfield has requested a trade, per sources.
Cleveland has been hoping to move forward after its Deshaun Watson pursuit and offered to fly to Texas to meet with Mayfield. But from the QB’s perspective, the bridge is burned and it’s time to move on now.
