The Cleveland Browns gave up on beginning Baker Mayfield, however haven't given up on the potential of buying and selling him.
The Browns will not be planning to chop the 27-year-old quarterback even when they haven’t discovered a suitor by coaching camp, based on a Cleveland.com. As a result of the Browns would nonetheless be on the hook for Mayfield’s $18.86 million wage, Cleveland brass intends to attend to see if one other group is in a quarterback pinch as soon as the preseason will get underway later this summer season.
In a wierd manner, Deshaun Watson’s standing is giving the Browns slightly little bit of leverage.
Buying and selling for Watson and giving him a document $230 million contract, totally assured, created this mess with Mayfield. However Watson doubtless faces a season-opening suspension when the NFL wraps up its investigation into sexual misconduct allegations.
So, the Browns may need a backup quarterback to play for some size of time. Possibly that's Mayfield, in any case, and never Jacoby Brissett.
However why haven’t the Browns been capable of meet Mayfield’s commerce request?

McAdoo is now the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, working with Sam Darnold, P.J. Walker, and rookie Matt Corral at quarterback.
The Seattle Seahawks – one other potential touchdown spot – would signal Mayfield if he was lower by the Browns, Cleveland.com reported. The Seahawks, who've Drew Lock and Geno Smith at quarterback, might then provide a close-to-minimum wage and solely that quantity would offset what the Browns owe to Mayfield.
