Baker Mayfield has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, telling ESPN’s Adam Schefter that it is “in the mutual interest of both sides” for Cleveland to split with the star QB.
#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.

After some conversations, even if the Cleveland Browns are not able to land QB Deshaun Watson, the sense I get is Baker Mayfield will still consider other options.
